Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good commuter alternative to a Dualtron?
Levy is an excellent alternative for riders who realize a Dualtron is too heavy and expensive for commuting. At 27 lbs and $549, the Levy Light folds and carries easily, where a ~95 lb Dualtron Thunder cannot. If you still want some performance with more portability than a Dualtron, the Apollo City is an option; for range without the weight, the NIU KQi3.
Is a Dualtron worth it for commuting?
For most commuters, no. Dualtrons are heavy (70-95+ lbs), expensive ($1,800+), and far more powerful than city riding needs. That power and range are wasted on a short street commute and the weight makes carrying impractical. A lightweight Levy handles daily commuting for a fraction of the price.
What is the lightest alternative to a Dualtron?
Among practical commuters, the Levy Light (27 lbs) and NIU KQi Air (~26 lbs) are far lighter than any Dualtron. Levy adds a swappable battery and financing from $47/month, making it both lighter and more affordable than a performance scooter for everyday riding.
