Top speed gets all the headlines, but do you know what’s even more important than having the fastest electric scooter? Having the best acceleration. We’ve got the 16 fastest accelerating electric scooters you can buy for the money – from under $600 to over $2K – and we’ve scientifically tested them all.

The problem for scooter buyers is electric scooter makers don’t specify acceleration, and you absolutely can’t rely on motor power specs. Fortunately, Electric Scooter Guide has tested the acceleration times of more than 182 electric scooters over the years.

Below, we bring you the fastest electric scooters we’ve tested in four different price brackets, starting from the most affordable and ending with the money-is-no-object category. See the quickest electric scooters under $600, under $1000, under $2000, and over $2K.
