Frequently Asked Questions

Should I buy a Levy or a Dualtron?
They are built for completely different riders. The Dualtron Thunder is a ~95 lb performance machine that hits 50+ mph with up to ~100 miles of range — incredible if you want speed and never carry your scooter. Levy is a 27 lb commuter built to fold, carry, and ride around the city, starting at $549. If you commute and lift your scooter onto transit or up stairs, Levy is the practical choice; if you want raw performance, Dualtron wins.
Is a Dualtron too much scooter for commuting?
For most commuters, yes. Dualtrons are heavy (often 70-95+ lbs), expensive (starting around $1,800), and far more powerful than city riding requires. That power is wasted if your commute is a few miles of streets and bike lanes. A lightweight, affordable Levy covers everyday commuting without the weight, cost, or complexity.
Why is Levy so much cheaper than a Dualtron?
Dualtrons are premium performance scooters with dual motors, massive batteries, and heavy-duty suspension, which pushes prices from $1,800 to over $6,500. Levy is a focused commuter scooter — lightweight, swappable-battery, and built for daily city use — so it delivers practical transportation at $549-$1,149 instead of enthusiast-grade performance.
