Compare the Mercane WideWheel Pro and the Zero 8X

In the thriving world of electric scooters, the Mercane WideWheel Pro and the Zero 8X stand out for different reasons. When dissecting the performance, the WideWheel Pro flaunts a dual 500W (1000W total) motor system, pushing the scooter to a top speed of 26 mph, as against the 8X which parades a dual 800W(1600W peak), allowing it to reach a maximum speed of 34 mph. The former's dual suspension system provides a comfortable ride over several terrains, while the latter's 8-inch pneumatic tires coupled with front and rear suspension facilitate better shock absorption.

The 8X spoils the rider with a higher maximum travel distance of 50 miles per charge, thanks to its 52V 18.2aH battery, while the WideWheel Pro provides just around 22-31 miles on a full battery. Notably, the 8X is equipped with LED lights on all four sides for better visibility, whereas the WideWheel Pro provides front and rear lights with no sidelight. In terms of weight, the Zero 8X is markedly heavier at 79 lbs, almost double the 54 lbs WideWheel Pro - a potential downside for those who prefer portability in their scooters. The WideWheel Pro is unquestionably more affordable than the 8X.

To summarize, the WideWheel Pro scores points for affordability and lighter weight, though it falls short in battery endurance and top speed compared to the Zero 8X, which excels in these attributes but at the expense of a heftier price tag and weight.
