From our tests, the Wolf King GTR electric scooter clocked 65.8 mph.

Here’s a brief from Paul on how other people test their scooters for top speed versus how Rider Guide tests them.

…I should point out that almost all top-speed runs on YouTube are complete bullshit, and here’s why: They’re all single-direction speed runs. A slight tailwind or elevation change can make a difference of 5 mph or more. You may as well throw the electric scooter off a cliff and point a radar gun at it as it falls.

All of the world’s top speed records use an average of two runs in opposite directions, canceling out the effect of headwinds, tailwinds, and elevation changes. For example, with the wind at my back, I saw 76 mph on the speedometer of the GTR, which was really 69.3 mph on the data logger. But when we average together the real data from both directions, we get the Wolf King GTR’s true top speed
