Comparing The Dualtron Thunder’s Features With The Wolf Warrior 11’s
Power
According to each e-scooter’s specifications, they’re both powered by dual 1200W motors that put out a maximum of 5400W power at peak performance, however, after being tested under real-world conditions, the Dualtron Thunder proved to be a more powerful electric scooter than the Wolf Warrior 11+.

Dualtron Thunder
In a real-world hill-climbing test, performed by a popular YouTuber who reviews electric scooters, the Wolf Warrior 11+ struggled and eventually failed to travel up what looked like a 35° incline on two attempts while the DualTron Thunder, albeit slow, climbed up the same hill – twice!

The DualTron Thunder also beat the Wolf Warrior 11 in an acceleration test carried out by the same rider. The Thunder was able to zip from 0 to 19mph in 2.6 seconds while the Wolf Warrior attained that same speed in 3.5 seconds.
If you’re a heavy rider, say between 200lbs and 300lbs, looking for a powerful 50mph electric scooter, the DualTron Thunder might be a good fit for your needs.

Ride Quality
Let’s face it, there’s no such thing as a “perfect road”. Even the smallest road irregularity can knock your electric scooter off balance and cause you to lose control. This is why performance e-scooters are equipped with high-grade shock mitigation systems – to absorb the vibrations from bumps and improve overall ride quality.
The Wolf Warrior 11+ utilizes telescopic forks (a form of hydraulic shocks) for its front suspension and steel springs for its rear suspension, while the Dualtron Thunder is equipped with swingarms for both its front and rear suspensions.
When compared to stiff swingarm suspensions, telescopic forks are better at smoothening bumpy rides. This is because the forks are able to isolate the e-scooter’s weight and completely soak up the vibrations from the wheels as the scooter rides over bumps.
However, the cartridges in the Dualtron Thunder’s front and rear swingarms can be replaced with softer ones if the e-scooter is to be adapted for off-road riding.
Portability
Both e-scooters lack in the area of portability (The Wolf Warrior weighs 101lbs/45Kg and the Dualtron Thunder weighs 95lbs/43kg). However, carrying the DualTron Thunder might not be as inconvenient as carrying the Wolf Warrior 11

When folded, the DualTron Thunder’s proportions beat the Wolf Warrior in terms of portability and practicality. Unlike the Wolf Warrior that has two stems, the DualTron Thunder’s single stem makes it a bit more convenient and practical to carry (assuming you want to lift it by the stem)
Also, the Dualtron Thunder’s handlebars are foldable, making it a more portable alternative to
the Wolf Warrior which maintains its 23.6in width (because its handlebars are not foldable) and spans an even lengthier 59in when folded (compared to its 49in length when open)
Lights
The Dualtron Thunder’s front-facing deck lights might not be the best option for riding at night as their beams don’t exactly illuminate far ahead of the rider. Unlike the Wolf Warrior 11+’s front-facing LED headlights that are located in-between the stems just below the handlebars.
Front-facing LED headlights are better suited to nighttime riding because they illuminate the road ahead and help riders spot objects located in front of them before coming within close range with said objects. Besides the LED headlights, the Wolf Warrior 11+, like the DualTron Thunder, also has front-facing deck lights.
However, it’s worth noting that the Wolf Warrior 11’s rear lights don’t suffice as brake indicators because they are not very bright compared to the Thunder’s bright brake lights that flicker whenever the brakes are applied.
Mileage
Both electric scooters are powered by 60V 35Ah lithium-ion batteries, however, the DualTron Thunder’s range on a full charge exceeds the Wolf’s by 5 miles (75 miles VS the Wolf’s 70 miles).
This slight difference in range might be due to the fact that the Thunder weighs six pounds less than the Wolf Warrior 11+
It is worth noting that each e-scooter’s mileage may be affected by external factors like rider weight and road conditions. Also, switching to more conservative motor modes may also extend your electric scooter’s range.

A cheaper and less powerful alternative to the Wolf King – the Wolf Warrior comes with dual 1200W brushless hub motors that put out 5400W of power at peak performance — 1350W less than the King.
While its features cannot be compared to that of the king’s, Kaabo’s Wolf Warrior is still considered an off-road beast among scooter enthusiasts. It is a great 50mph electric scooter whose shock mitigation system makes it a suitable choice for riding on uneven terrain.
It even beats the Wolf King when it comes to mileage. Thanks to its 60V 35Ah Li-ion battery, the Wolf Warrior can cover up to 70 miles on every full charge, which is almost two times the Wolf King’s mileage.
However, like the Wolf King, the Wolf Warrior isn’t portable. It weighs 101lbs (45.8 kg) and, while it’s foldable, might prove very inconvenient to carry.

The Kaabo Mantis Pro is one of the most portable high-performance electric scooters in the market. Weighing just 68lbs, this electric scooter’s motors can generate up to 3200W of absolute power to climb steep hills and reach maximum speeds of 40mph.
Because of its portability, speed, acceleration (0-15mph in 2 seconds), hill-climbing ability (up to 30°), etc., the Mantis is often regarded as an all-around e-scooter.
It’s worth noting however that the Mantis Pro is not a commuter scooter. While users might find carrying the Mantis more comfortable than carrying either the Wolf King or the Wolf Warrior, at 65lbs, it’s still very heavy to be conveyed around in-between commutes.

5 Most Powerful Adults Electric Scooters
What Makes Kaabo’s High-Performance e-Scooters Special (Pros of Kaabo e-Scooters)
1) They Have Some of the Most Powerful Electric Scooters on the Market
Did you know that the maximum power some electric scooters generate is equal to the nominal power of one of the Wolf King’s hub motors?
For example, at peak performance, the Apollo Explorer’s motors put out 1400W, while one of the Wolf King’s motors is just getting started at 1500W.
Kaabo’s electric scooters are beasts!
If you’re looking for hill-flattening power, instantaneous acceleration, insane speeds even when supporting heavy loads, then, Kaabo’s powerful e-scooters might be the best place to start.
2) Superior Shock Mitigation Systems
Kaabo’s e-scooters are equipped with some of the best shock absorbers in the industry. From the Wolf Warrior 11+’s hydraulic motorcycle-grade front suspension to the Mantis Pro’s front and rear spring suspension systems, Kaabo’s high-powered e-scooters are designed to be ridden on any terrain.
Even at high speeds, their shock absorbers will soak up vibrations from bumps and ensure the rider experiences smooth ride quality regardless of terrain type.
3) They Come With Very Powerful Batteries
Unlike other brands’ high-powered electric scooters that can only travel short distances, the Wolf Warrior can cover up to 70 miles in eco mode when fully charged.
Even though Kaabo’s electric scooters are heavy, the fact that they can cover long distances on a full charge ( and they don’t take long to charge as they mostly come with two charging ports and two chargers) means riders can commute to work and back without the need to use any other form of transportation and hence eliminating the need to carry the scooter in between commutes.

Cons of Kaabo’s High-powered Electric Scooters
1) They aren’t cheap
With Kaabo’s e-scooters, you’re getting what you pay for — performance. Their extreme scooters usually cost between $1700 and $4000.
However, if you’re on a budget and can’t fork out all that money once, Voromotors (a distributor for Kaabo) offers qualified visitors an 18-month payment plan at $188/month.
2) Kaabo high-power e-scooters are not portable
Even the Kaabo Mantis pro, which isn’t as heavy as the Wolf Warrior and the Wolf King, can’t be considered a lightweight electric scooter because it weighs more than a microwave oven (and in some cases, a bear cub).
The very fact that high-performance e-scooters require bigger, more powerful batteries & motors makes them heavier than average e-scooters.
Final thoughts
If you’re a speed junkie who’s obsessed with traveling at blazing speeds and conquering steep hills, the DualTron Thunder might be the best 50mph e-scooter for you. However, keep in mind that you might have to install — or replace — a few kits to improve your safety and/ the e-scooter’s overall performance.
The Wolf Warrior on the other hand, is the entire package. It is an all-around 50mph electric scooter. If you’re in the market for a cost-efficient high-performance scooter, the Wolf Warrior 11+ might just be up your alley.
