Ultimate Dualtron Summary
MiniMotors: The Mother of Dualtron Scooters
MiniMotors is the longest-running and most well-known brand in the history of electric scooters. In 1999, the company was founded within Busan South Korea, MiniMotors began selling motorized scooters and electric scooters for seniors. The company was not anything similar to the company we are familiar with today.
It’s been a while to 2009, and MiniMotors begins its first venture into electric motorsports through the introduction of a four-wheel electric all-terrain vehicle. This is when the modern day company that we are familiar with today, is beginning to form. By the year 2014, MiniMotors had begun production and releasing its popular Speedway range. In 2015 that MiniMotors achieved a milestone — the launch of the first electric dual-motor scooter.
We know today MiniMotors for the fact that it is the only company which for over two decades it has been the leader and pioneer in electronic scooters. MiniMotors makes the most durable and robust electric scooters, and have the financial backing to prove it. MiniMotors has gained a cult following among its proponents. According to our most recently conducted survey MiniMotors was awarded a 4.7/5 rating, the highest brand-satisfaction scores of any scooter company.
Common Specifications of Dualtron Scooters
Although the Dualtron line includes a taxonomy of electric scooters beginning at 44 lbs and 1320 watt motors, and extends to the 110-pound Dualtron X with its 3370-watt motors, they do have a few common elements.
EYE LCD Display/Throttle
Swag “party” stem lighting
Adjustable rubber cartridge suspension
Two brushless DC electric motors
Dual disc brakes
Electronic anti-lock brake system (e-ABS)
LG battery packs are made from MJ1 cells
6082-T6 aluminum aircraft frame
Dualtron “Stem move”
Dualtron EYE LCD Display/ Throttle
The Dualtron EYE LCD throttle is an efficient combination of an VCR and a TimeX watch
The EYE Throttle is among the main characteristics in the Dualtron scooter, although similar features have made their way into other scooters such as the Zero.
The display has proved to be extremely practical and functions as something that is a mix of the TimeX digital clock and an an old-fashioned VCR. Its adjustment isn’t an easy task and the various functions are listed as P0 or P1 and so on. That means that you’ll need to know what they are, or keep an instruction manual on hand when setting the device up. The throttle integrated is controlled with a single index finger, which can be quite tiring after some time. In addition, you could accidentally accelerate if you use your thumb to tighten the grip on your handlebars , and then take the accelerator in your hand. We hope that one day MiniMotors will upgrade the throttle control to make it something easier to use and perhaps incorporate it into a turn grip-motocross-style accelerator. But, despite that it is the EYE throttle with LCD display is one of the top that is available on electric scooters today.
Dualtron Rubber Cartridge Suspension
Dualtron scooters (with the exception of the Dualtron X) come with an adjustable suspension that adjusts by changing the rubber cartridges. This gives you a completely adjustable ride. For instance, by changing the cartridge to a stiff one, it can be optimized for smooth, swift roads. In rougher terrain it is possible to swap in the cartridge with softer material to be more resilient to bumps.
Dualtron Stem Wobble
MiniMotors in all models Dualtron scooters have a problem with “stem wobble” because of the design of their stem mechanism with a folding mechanism and the long stems of their lever-arms. This means that no matter how the scooter has been folded and locked in position, the handlebars be a little sloppy or movement and this is known as the wobble. It’s a shame, as this is an insignificant, but it is one of the more obvious and disconcerting issues that comes when it comes to Dualtron electronic scooters. This makes a high-end scooter appear low-end and poorly designed.

Summary
Dualtron III Dualtron III is in a totally different class from that of the Dualtron Spider. While Dualtron Spider is a slender, streamlined model that can be used as Dualtron Spider is civil enough to disguise itself as a an all-day commuting machine that is hard-core however, the Dualtron 3 is a serious electric scooter that is high-performance.
Its Dualtron III -packing dual 1600 watt brushless DC electric motors is incredibly fast from a standstill , and can go up to a top speed of 40 miles per hour. It is a beast on hills, as well. Its 1658-watt hours LG battery pack provides it with the power to travel for up to 774 miles on one charge.
We would like to imagine that Dualtron III as the start of the truly fun Dualtron scooters.
Dualtron X vs Dualtron Thunder
The Dualtron X is an absolute wild beast. When compared with its predecessor the Dualtron Thunder, it is much heavier, more spacious and more robust. It is also more powerful. Dualtron X is the fastest and most powerful, sexiest electric scooter available right now.
We’ve tested both bikes and regarding speed Dualtron Thunder is faster. Dualtron Thunder can keep up with the Dualtron X off the starting line, but above 20 miles per hour and above, Dualtron X is the faster model. Dualtron X leaves the Thunder in the dust. It’s all because of twin 3360-watt motors that offer a combined power of more than 6,600 watts and a huge 2940 watts of battery power in the tank.
The tires on the Dualtron X are much larger than those of that of Dualtron Thunder and the X comes with a seat that can be bolted on. The integrated steering damper that helps keep you in a stable position when you’re at high speeds, makes this bike more motorbike-like as compared to the Dualtron X.
Another thing to consider is the fact that suspension as well as comfort of Dualtron X are of the highest quality. The suspension and ride comfort on Dualtron X are absolutely supreme to all scooters we’ve used and even the Thunder. The massive coil-over-shocks as well as its massive size make the X the most comfortable rider that can cover greater distances and reach your destination with minimum fatigue.
Dualtron Scooter Review Summary
The Dualtron scooter range from MiniMotors is the highest level of the latest technology in electric scooters as well as performance. Dualtron is the most reliable electric scooter that you can purchase although other companies try to get closer with the Dualtron line. Zero or the Zero 10X for instance are significant contenders that are definitely worth a look.
Although they set the bar Dualtrons do not come without imperfections. We’ve discussed in the past regarding wobble in stems and the slightly odd EYE LCD. However, despite these shortcomings, Dualtron still remains supreme and almost every model you buy is made to last. If you’re not ready to purchase an electric scooter that is serious and aren’t ready for a serious ride, then Dualtron will not be the best choice for you. If you’re ready for a serious ride and want to get serious about it, then the Dualtron is most likely to be your best choice.
