Best electric scooters in Australia (2026)

Every scooter below is independently verified: real Australian pricing where a retailer has confirmed it, honest unrestricted top speed (not a limited display figure), and a realistic range estimate alongside the manufacturer's claim. Where we could not verify a price, we say so rather than guess. If you want the full spec sheet, reviews and photos for any of these, follow the link through to its model page.

1. Segway Ninebot Max G2 (best legal-class commuter)

$1,199 to $1,299 (price varies by retailer)

The Segway Ninebot Max G2 is the scooter to buy if you plan to actually ride on public paths where private e-scooters are allowed. Its unrestricted top speed is 35 km/h, but it can be app limited to 25 km/h, putting it in the legal class nationwide (outside NSW and the NT, where private e-scooters aren't permitted at all). Claimed range is 70 km, with 55 km realistic, among the best in its price bracket, and it rides on self healing tubeless tyres. At 24.3 kg it isn't light, but it folds for storage. Confirm the 25 km/h limit setting with your retailer before riding in public.

2. Inokim Light 2 (best for carrying every day)

Price on application (confirm current pricing with Inokim Australia)

At 13.7 kg, the Inokim Light 2 is built for riders who carry their scooter onto trains or up apartment stairs daily. Like the Max G2, it can be limited to 25 km/h and sits in the legal class. Range is more modest, 45 km claimed, about 30 km realistic, and the ride is firmer without suspension, the trade off for the low weight. Good pick if portability matters more to you than range.

3. Inokim OX Super (best real-world range, private land)

$2,399

The Inokim OX Super claims 97 km of range, about 70 km realistic, from a single motor with adjustable front and rear suspension and an optional seat. Its 45 km/h unrestricted top speed puts it outside the 25 km/h legal class, so in Australia this is a private land device regardless of state. If long, comfortable rides on your own property or a private track matter more than public path legality, it's a strong option.

4. Dualtron Mini Special (best compact performance, private land)

Price on application (confirm current AU pricing with a Dualtron retailer)

The Dualtron Mini Special packs Dualtron's ride quality and adjustable suspension into a more compact, 24 kg frame than most performance scooters. Top speed is 50 km/h, well outside the legal class, so like the OX Super, this is a private land scooter in Australia. Claimed range is 65 km, about 45 km realistic.

5. Inokim OXO (best dual-motor flagship, private land)

$2,899

Inokim's dual motor flagship, the Inokim OXO, claims 110 km of range (about 80 km realistic) with hydraulic disc brakes and adjustable suspension front and rear. At 65 km/h unrestricted and 40 kg, it's firmly a private land, enthusiast scooter, not something to buy expecting to ride it on a public footpath or bike lane anywhere in Australia.

6. Segway Ninebot GT2 SuperScooter (best all-out performance, private land)

$3,999 to $4,299 (sale price seen at $3,999, RRP higher)

The Segway Ninebot GT2 SuperScooter is the fastest and most powerful scooter in this guide: dual motors, a 70 km/h unrestricted top speed, full front and rear suspension and hydraulic disc brakes. It's a serious private land or private track machine, not a road legal device anywhere in Australia given its speed, and at 35 kg it's the heaviest scooter here too.

Compare the range

"25 km/h legal class" means the device can be genuinely limited to 25 km/h. It does not by itself mean a scooter is legal to ride in your state, NSW and the NT currently permit private e-scooters nowhere in public. Check where e-scooters are legal in Australia before you buy.

How to choose between them

Start with where you'll actually ride. If it's a public footpath, bike lane or shared path, you need one of the two legal-class scooters above, and you should still confirm your state permits private e-scooters at all before you buy, see our state-by-state law guide. If you're riding on private property, a farm, an acreage, a private track, the legal class question doesn't apply and the performance scooters open up.

From there, weigh weight against range. The lightest scooters here are the easiest to carry but have the smallest batteries, the opposite is true of the long range and dual motor models. If you'll be caught in the rain, check the IP rating, IPX4 handles light rain and splashes, IPX5 is more forgiving. And treat the claimed range figure as a ceiling, not a promise, the realistic figures in the table above are a better guide to what you'll actually get on a real commute with hills, wind and a rider's actual weight.

Where this list will grow

This guide reflects ScootFinder's currently verified catalogue, which is still growing. We don't yet have a genuine sub-$1,000 budget pick verified for Australian pricing and stock, or a true off-road, knobby tyre option, both are priorities we're actively researching. Check back, or see our guide to power and speed limits explained if you want to understand the legal class question in more depth before you shop.
