9 Fastest Electric Scooters: Based on 136 Hours of Tests & Data

So, let’s get right into the nitty-gritty of why you’re here: speed. The SPLACH Titan has lots of it. Propelled by dual 52V 1000W motors and powerful controllers, it produces a peak power output of 2600W allowing this firecracker to hit 37 mph in a flash.

And I mean a flash. During my tests, I was able to accelerate from 0-15 mph in a sizzling 2.5 seconds and hit 25 mph in 4.9 seconds. Surprisingly, this acceleration rate leaves the much pricier Apollo Ghost eating dust. As a result, it delivers pound-for-pound power that’s deserving of its name.

The simple fact is that no other scooter within the SPLACH Titan’s price class gets anywhere near it when it comes to raw speed and power. It’s in a league of its own, with even the likes of the Mantis V2 – which is $760 more expensive – getting a run for its money.

But of course, to harness such ferocity, you need formidable stopping power. Well, fear not, because the SPLACH Titan wields front and rear disc brakes that will bring you to a complete halt from 15 mph in just 2.4 meters. This kind of performance is usually confined to semi or full hydraulics, so the performance of the standard discs should be applauded.

And if you want that extra layer of security, you’ll likely find it among the 12 speed settings that let you control your pace with consummate ease by switching between a mix of three gears, as well as eco/turbo and single/dual motor modes.

You’ll also want to retain that all-important sense of stability when racing down the street at the speed of a greyhound. Again, the Titan delivers. Billed as the SUV of the electric scooter world, it bears all the hallmarks of a model built with safety, control, and maneuverability in mind.

At 27 inches, the handlebars are among the widest I’ve ever tested; this detail is crucial when it comes to balance and steering control. They’re tall, too, which means you won’t find yourself in an unnatural hunched-over position – even if you’re over six feet. A special mention must also go to the flared handgrips, which are an exhibition of ergonomic design.

Elsewhere, the frame is streamlined yet durable (hello, IP54 water-resistance rating), while the stem has been reinforced to eliminate any potential wobbles at high speed. Weighing in at 64 lbs, it’s also light enough to qualify as a portable performance scooter (they typically weigh 60-80 lbs), while sturdy enough to support up to 220 lbs of weight.

My only gripe from a build and design standpoint is with the deck. Though sufficiently grippy, it’s on the short side at 19.5 inches long. It does, however, have 6.2 inches of ground clearance, which makes a big difference to ride quality. And, after all, the reinforced kickplate extends the space available for your feet. Nevertheless, the Titan manages to deliver a level of ride quality that’s often associated with much pricier scooters.

A big contributor to the ride quality is its tires. I tested the 9-inch variants and their tread and profile are something I’d never seen before. Not only are they extremely thick at 3 inches, but knobbly, too. Meanwhile, the front-on profile sits somewhere between rounded and square, which boosts their traction and ability to absorb shocks. Working in tandem with the extremely well-calibrated front and rear springs, they make this scooter a certified dream to ride over varying terrain.

If you think that the 9-inch tires are a little too diminutive for you, you can purchase the SPLACH Titan with 10-inch tires instead. These sport a different tread and profile, but are well-equipped for different types of terrain. In fact, if you want to take corners at speed, I recommend the 10-inch tires over the 9-inch ones since they hold their grip better.

You may be thinking that all of this goes way beyond what you’d expect from a scooter that costs just $1,139 – and you’d be right. Yet, amazingly, there’s more.

The 52V 20.8Ah battery delivers a maximum range of 44 miles (or 29 miles while riding it in its fastest setting – according to my tests), which makes a mockery of every other scooter within its price class.

As for hills, well this is one model that makes molehills out of mountains. If you plan to ride in an undulating environment, the Titan will be your best friend.

Did I mention that it also comes equipped with one of the best lighting rigs in the business? On top of the blinding miniature star that masquerades as its headlight, you get some pretty pimpin’ stem and deck LEDs that make you look like a moving carnival. These can be controlled via a mobile app where you can adjust their color, brightness, patterns, and even make them dance to songs or your voice.

Everything about the Titan is premium – except its price. SPLACH deserves our heartiest praise for prioritizing value over profit; in the process, it’s sent shockwaves through the industry with a model that leaves illustrious rivals looking a little sheepish.
