Yume Raptor 2. I've owned the version 1. And overall its a great scooter. The only thing I have to double check all the time is the nut inside the stem which keeps it sturdy.

What's interesting about the Predator's 50Ah battery is they're prismatic cells, less internal resistance,
Most high-end scooters use roughly 200 small "AA-sized" 21700 cells wired together. The Predator uses 20 large 50Ah Panasonic EV cells. Here is why that matters for your power availability:
Massively Lower Internal Resistance (R_i): A single 21700 cell typically has an internal resistance of 15–25 m\Omega. In contrast, the large prismatic cells used in the Predator are rated at \leq 1.0 m\Omega.
Fewer "Bottlenecks": In a 200-cell pack, power has to travel through hundreds of thin nickel strips and spot welds. Every weld adds resistance. In the Predator's 20-cell "Big Block" setup, those bottlenecks are gone.
Reduced Voltage Sag: Because of the low resistance, the battery doesn't "choke" when you pull 100+ amps to maintain 45 mph. On a standard scooter, you might see the battery bar drop from 80% to 60% just by hitting the throttle (sag); on the Predator, the voltage stays much flatter.
📉 Power Curve Comparison
On a standard 72V scooter with 21700 cells, you'll feel a noticeable drop in "punch" once the battery hits 60%. By 40%, your top speed will usually drop by 5–8 mph.
With the Predator's prismatic cells:
0% to 80%: You will have access to 95%+ of the scooter's peak torque.
20% to 30%: You can still maintain high speeds (40+ mph) without the scooter forcing you into a "limp mode" or slowing down significantly.
🌡️ The "Heavy Rider" Advantage
At 250 lbs, you put more stress on the battery than a 150 lb rider.
Heat Management: Standard cells get hot when pushed hard, which increases resistance further (a vicious cycle). Prismatic cells have more surface area and better thermal stability.
Water-Cooled Synergy: The 2026 Predator pairs this battery with liquid-cooled controllers. This means while the battery provides the raw power without sagging, the controllers won't throttle the motors due to heat.
Yeah, I mostly got the predator for the battery and interesting liquid cooling system. First of it's kind. I came from a dualtron bluetran lightning that kept blowing controllers due to overheating. Now I have a Yume x11+, raptor, and predator. Never had an issue despite me people seeing Yume as a budget brand. They are really on the rise
I don't have any extreme opinion on the other brand. I can suggest based on what I own. I own both the Raptor and X11+. If you want power and fun, the Raptor is the move, best performance per dollar under $2k. The X11+ is more comfortable and balanced but less aggressive.
Well my top pick would be the gspace Mars eco, its $1999 but there is a $100 off on the website. It should get you real would 30 miles at high speeds, more if you're crusin.
Yume raptor 2 is my second choice, around $1599 starting with 2 battery options, the Samsung being 1899 is going to get 30 real world miles at high speeds, some cool new features and ok support, definitely not on the level of Mars, but still good.
Last I would pick the inmotion S1F, it's on sale right now for $749, should definitely get you 30+ miles and comes with a ton a gifts with the sale. Only thing this scooter is the slowest at around 25 mph max, and is only like 42v, but it's super lightweight my only problem with inmotion is the CS, it can be hit or miss.
The problem right is summer is coming up and everyone around the world is feeling the effects of the "oil wars" so a lot of scooters are sold-out, the ones I choose were because they are in-stock, there are better scooter just out of stock.
