Compare the Minimotors Dualtron Storm and the Segway Ninebot ES1L

When it comes to high-end electric scooters, Minimotors and Segway are two of the most recognisable names in the market. Specifically, the Minimotors Dualtron Storm and the Segway Ninebot ES1L are popular choices among consumers.

The Minimotors Dualtron Storm is the powerhouse of the two, boasting a top speed of 80+kph and a remarkable range of 120km on a single charge. It is built for off-roading adventures with its impressive dual motor system and 10-inch wide tubeless tyres that offer remarkable traction. The Storm also comes with a 72V 31.5AH LG 3500 battery that guarantees long-distance travel. However, the high-speed and off-road capabilities come at a price; the Storm weighs a hefty 47kg and has a hefty price tag.

The Ninebot ES1L has a top speed of 20kph and offers a max travel distance of 20km on a single charge, which is ideal for short distance commutes or city rides. Its 250W motor and 5.2Ah Battery are perfect for those looking for a basic, daily commuting scooter.

In terms of comfort and safety, the Dualtron Storm features adjustable rubber suspension and hydraulic brakes, while the Ninebot ES1L provides a front shock absorber and a mechanical and electrical anti-lock braking system.

Ultimately, the choice between the Minimotors Dualtron Storm and Segway Ninebot ES1L depends on what you are looking for in an electric scooter. If it's raw power, long range and off-road capabilities, then go for the Dualtron Storm. But if you are after something lightweight and optimized for urban commuting, the Ninebot ES1L would be your best bet.
