L2 Max Electric Scooter

Addendum that even the single motor will get up to reasonable speeds in a hilly zone. But it also feels really dead while doing it.

I have a slightly more powerful L2. You'll hit 30 so long as it's above 50% charge. Dip below that and you start teetering on 25. Gods help you if you end up at a stop sign with a slight incline, and you need to go from 0-30 reasonably quickly so that cars coming in from the left don't slam into you where there's no bike lane or side walk to safely get up to speed. It brought me back and forth a 20 mile round trip with something like 20-30% battery remaining across a hilly ride. It's less "Fun" than a no suspension, low to the ground scoot, because the suspension and height feels like it deadens the sense of speed. But it will work as a mode of transportation. At this size and form factor, you want a dual motor setup that can reach 40MPH, not because you WANT to go 40, but because the acceleration characteristics will get you out of road and hill anxiety. Any less, and you feel like you're in a really big car that had it's engine stripped out to some dinky 1.0 Liter 3 piston thing from 2005. [Or you get a Vmax which apparently has amazing range.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oToTrsM6C_8)

Ausom's pretty big. Borderline not portable for anyone who actually needs to go into shops with it. L2 Single motor goes 30, but I don't feel the speed so much as I'm conscious of it as a data point when on roads. More of a cruiser than a nippy ride.

I too have a climber as my daily driver scoot. I Picked up an EUC, an Aero, mostly because it's significantly smaller while going the same speed and more, once you become confident enough at handling the fact that you only have one wheel and are reliant on your balance. It'll rip up hills before wind pressure and inclines force me to accelerate slower at 26 MPH, but before that it GOES. It satisfies the "Go faster" itch by virtue of feeling faster and getting more adrenaline going because of the inherent risk involved, it fits in a gym locker, and you can sit on it while it self balances when you go out and have to stop for pedestrian crossings, or are just sitting in line. You probably won't even enjoy going 30 on a scooter, TBH. Used to have an Ausom that could, and it felt more sterile than the climber without the fun factor.

You can also get a single motor version of the L2 Max or the KuKirin G2 Max if you don't think you need the power. Although I'd personally miss the second motor.

A more powerful single motor will also do hills. For example the Apollo Explore 2.0 is better up hills than their Go, although speed limited to a lower top speed for some reason (must not want my money). I watched the only video review in existence of the Ausom L2 Max single motor and it slowed from 31 to 20 up a hill, but if you're cruising at 19 ... you just need extra capability. The VMAX VX2 Gear has a geared motor and possibly can outclimb anything, but only goes 19. Also dual motor doesn't really increase maximum incline, watch the ESG hill climb of the Climber on the steepest hill in San Fran, he had to lean forward until his stomach touched the display to keep the front wheel from spinning. Dual motor is is more about getting up normal hills at speed. I don't like the idea of turning off the front motor and just dragging it around, although probably no better dragging around a bigger single motor. A better "feature" is when they have the same big battery in a single motor version, just good luck finding any reviews with the dual version getting all the attention. I don't really look at scooters going towards $2K. Most interested in the bottom end Hiley, Eahora. Also the VX2 Hub, less off road-y but stealthy. Understated looks, Beast mode is hidden and doesn't even show on the display.

I have the single motor. It is “awesome”. Super smooth. Peppy. Range all day long. If you don’t live in a hilly area. You won’t need the second motor.

I bought mine for a range. So if I had a dual motor I would run it as a single to eeek out more miles. I go 20mph up hills. I turned the acceleration up. And it’s peppy.

Nice yeah it’ll be good for ya. Still goes 28-31 with single motor I think
