Micro merlin electric scooter
Der Micro Merlin X4 wird von seinem Hersteller nicht nur als E Scooter mit einer hohen Reichweite von 25 km/h, sondern auch als Modell mit besonders hohem Fahrkomfort und toller Ausstattung beworben. Doch entspricht das wirklich der Wahrheit und kann der Merlin X4 tatsächlich halten, was versprochen wird? Um dies herauszufinden, unterzogen wir auch diesen Elektroroller einem ausführlichen Praxistest.
Die wichtigsten Leistungsdaten zum Micro Merlin X4:
Der E Scooter hat einen starken 500W Motor, das maximale Tempo liegt bei flotten 25 km/h (Nabenmotor vorne). Optional lassen sich auch Fahrprogramme mit niedrigeren Höchstgeschwindigkeiten einstellen. Zur Ausstattung gehört ein 280Wh Lithium-Ionen Akku, der eine hohe Reichweite von 25 Kilometern ermöglichen soll. Die Ladezeit liegt bei etwa 3 Stunden.
Der Rahmen dieses Modells besteht aus Aluminium. Das Gewicht des Elektrorollers liegt deshalb bei nur 11 kg – damit ist dieses Modell leicht, aber es gibt andere Elektroroller mit noch deutlich weniger Gewicht. Die maximale Belastbarkeit beträgt 100 Kilogramm.
Dank integrierter Vorder- und Rücklichter kann dieses Modell auch bei schlechten Witterungsverhältnissen und nachts gefahren werden.
Ein Display zur Anzeige zur Anzeige von Geschwindigkeit, Batteriestatus, aktuellem Fahrprogramm und sogar Temperatur ist vorhanden.
Sowohl vorne als auch hinten gibt es eine Federung (Vorder- und Hinterradaufhängung), der Elektroroller fährt auf 8“ Gummireifen.
Selbstverständlich lässt sich auch dieser Elektroroller mit wenigen Handgriffen komplett zusammenfalten.
Eine Hupe ist vorhanden, ein Ständer dagegen nicht.
Micro Merlin X4 – Testbericht
Nach dem Auspacken des Micro Merlin X4 fiel uns zuerst die ansprechende Optik auf. Dieser Scooter sieht verdammt cool aus (wie man es von den Micro Scootern ja ohnehin gewöhnt ist), und wirkt schon auf den ersten Blick sehr hochwertig.
Doch wie machte sich der Micro Merlin X4 auf der Straße? Um das herauszubekommen, testeten wir den Roller unter unterschiedlichen Straßenbedingungen.
Auf geraden, asphaltierten Straßen machte sich der E Scooter wirklich sehr gut. Die Beschleunigung via Daumengasgriff erfolgte schön smooth und nicht so ruckartig wie bei manch anderen Elektrorollern. Die Bremsen machten auch einen guten Job und brachten den E Scooter sicher und soft zum Stehen. Die Maximalgeschwindigkeit von 25 km/h ließ sich gut erreichen, auch wenn einige andere von uns getestete Elektroroller noch etwas mehr Power haben.
Bei Steigungen dagegen hatten wir den Eindruck, dass sich der Scooter z.T. doch ein wenig schwer tat. Aber auf weitgehend ebenen Flächen schlug sich der Merlin X4 wirklich gut.
Tolle Federung
Die Federung fanden wir wirklich klasse. Auch auf unebenem Asphalt und Pflastersteinen konnte man noch angenehm fahren, ohne zu stark durchgeschüttelt zu werden. Im Gelände und auf Feldwegen mühte sich der Roller dann aber doch ein wenig ab – für den Offroad-Einsatz ist dieses Modell aber auch nicht konzipiert.
Als kleines Manko fiel uns auf, dass dieser E Scooter über keinen Ständer verfügt.
Das Gewicht von 11 kg fanden wir noch OK, auch wenn es durchaus leichtere Modelle gibt – der Micro Merlin X4 ist aber immer noch leicht genug, um ihn im zusammengeklappten Zustand bequem herumzutragen. Das Zusammenklappen verlief im Test problemlos und war mit wenigen Handgriffen erledigt.
Fazit: Den Micro Merlin X4 können wir auf jeden Fall empfehlen. Im Praxis-Fahrtest hat sich dieser Elektroroller wirklich gut geschlagen, vor allem auf weitgehend ebenen Straßen. Die Federung leistete gute Arbeit, so dass man diesen Scooter auch auf unebenem Untergrund bequem und sicher fahren konnte. Das Anfahr- und Abbremsverhalten war smooth und nicht so ruckelig wie bei manch anderen Elektrorollern. Es macht wirklich Spaß, diesen E Scooter zu fahren. Nur mit Steigungen tat sich der Merlin X4 manchmal ein wenig schwer – allerdings lag die Leistung immer noch im grünen Bereich.
Auch in Sachen Ausstattung gibt es so gut wie nichts zu meckern – es gibt Lichter vorne und hinten sowie ein gut lesbares, übersichtliches Display. Im zusammengeklappten Zustand kann man den E Scooter problemlos herumtragen und z.B. mit in Bus oder Bahn nehmen. Als klassisches Last-Mile Vehikel für den urbanen Bereich ist dieser E Scooter ganz ohne Zweifel gut geeignet.
Toll finden wir übrigens auch die recht hohe Reichweite von bis zu 25 Kilometern – damit ist dieses Modell auch gut für etwas längere Touren geeignet.
Kein Zweifel – für einen Preis von (derzeit) 799,- Euro (UVP des Herstellers) bekommt man mit dem Micro Merlin X4 einen klasse Elektroroller.
The Best Electric Scooters, According to Experts
New York State officially legalized electric bikes and scooters after a state budget agreement was reached in early April 2020, making getting around on motorized wheels easier than ever—and just in time, as many city residents were looking for alternatives to public transit at the start of the pandemic. It also doesn’t hurt that current electric scooters are better than ever, too. “Battery technology has vastly improved over the years, giving riders a quicker charge time and longer range,” says Ben Gibson, managing director of MicroScootersUK. “These technological improvements make electric scooters an even more viable method of commuting for more people.”
When you’re scooter shopping, the main factors to consider are weight, distance, and battery life. Typically, scooters weigh between 20 and 90 pounds, can hit speeds of 15 to 50 mph, and cover as much as 75 miles in on a single charge. The experts we spoke to recommended that first time buyers look for a scooter that is, above all, lightweight because “getting the scooter in and out of the apartment or office can be tedious,” says Manuel Saez, the CEO and co-founder of Brooklyness, a scooter subscription service.
Many of the experts we spoke to also highlighted the importance of a good suspension, which allows your scooter to glide along the road smoothly, even when conditions are less than ideal. As KC Cohen, the owner of Joulvert Electric Bikes and Scooters in NYC, says, without sufficient suspension, “it will feel like riding a jackhammer.” Gibson also warns that the e-scooter market has been flooded with cheaper models, which “are often made with less robust parts and can be prone to product recalls.” And Damon Victor of Greenpath Electric Bicycles says, whatever you do, ”don’t buy a cheap scooter with a cheap suspension. If the suspension breaks while at speed — well, it is not pretty.”
Another thing to keep in mind, says Eric Levenseller, the CEO of Levy Electric, is “the level of post-sales support you’ll be getting.” He adds that first time purchasers often “think an electric scooter will last them as long as a traditional bike, with little maintenance required. But electric scooters, while simple in their design, have complex electronics and battery systems that will likely require replacements over time.” Almost every expert we spoke to echoed this sentiment, so before buying, make sure your e-scooter can get proper maintenance and has a good warranty with replaceable parts. We asked six electric scooter experts (plus two other pros) about the best scooters available right now. Here’s what they recommend.
Best budget electric scooters
Victor says this one is “inexpensive and insanely reliable.” He says that while the Dolly is lightweight enough that you can haul it around the city with relative ease, “it also has a built in ‘dolly’ feature, where you can pull out a handle and roll it on two small dedicated wheels, like carry-on luggage.” It’s the only e-scooter on the list that has this feature, which is especially useful when your battery runs low. Instead of carrying your 30-pound deadweight scooter back to a charging station, at least you can roll it.
Weight: 28 poundsRange: 15 milesWeight limit: 255 poundsRecharge time: Four to six hours
This is the “ultimate budget scooter,” says Chuck Temple, founder of Electric Scooter Guide, who has tested more than 75 electric scooters for his site. “The M365 is quite sleek and well thought out. It’s also easy to use and uncomplicated, making it a great beginner scooter,” he says. The M365 has a 14.6-mile range, “a decent top speed of just under 16 mph, and a braking mechanism on each wheel, with the rear one being a disc, which we consider to be reliable,” he explains. Plus, there are pneumatic tires: “Large tires are safer because they take less force to roll over bumps, and being air-filled helps to cushion the ride.” They grip the road better, too.
Weight: 26.9 poundsRange: 18.6 milesWeight limit: 220 poundsRecharge time: Five hours
Best lightweight electric scooter
The Micro Merlin is one of Micro Scooter U.K.’s best-selling electric scooters, says Gibson. “It is lightweight and has four speed settings, making it suitable for every type of journey.” He also notes that the Merlin has “cruise control for effortless riding and an integrated dual suspension for comfort, a three-hour full recharge with regenerative braking, LCD display, and a 15-mile range.” It weighs only 24 pounds — one of the lightest on our list — and can hold a weight of 220 pounds.
Weight: 24 poundsRange: 15 milesWeight limit: 220 poundsRecharge time: Three hours
Best long-distance electric scooters
“I would recommend this particular model for leisure rides. It has a wide base and tall standing height, both features that make longer distance riding more comfortable,” says Levenseller. This is a heavier scooter, weighing in over 40 pounds, so it’s less ideal for commuting. But if you need to leisurely get somewhere on the weekends, this could be perfect for you. The Ninebot KickScooter Max also stands out with a 40-mile range, though it does have a longer charge time, at six hours. It can reach a top speed of 18.6 mph and handle a 220-pound weight load. Plus, it has an LED dashboard, making it easier to check maintenance issues, power levels, and Bluetooth connectivity.
Weight: 40 poundsRange: 40 milesWeight limit: 220 poundsRecharge time: Six hours
“The Cruiser is basically the Toyota Corolla or Honda Accord of electric scooters,” says Temple. “It’s super-practical and has features that make it comfortable for long-range commuting: huge tires, a large standing area (called a deck), turn signals, a good top speed, good hill-climbing ability, and legendary range.” Temple says the EMOVE has a range of about 50 miles, and it will charge in under 12 hours. At 50 pounds, it’s not exactly lightweight, but many riders will be willing to overlook that for the scooter’s long range and reliability.
Weight: 59 pounds
Range: 50 miles
Weight limit: 350 pounds
Recharge time: Nine to 12 hours
Best electric scooter for even longer distances
“This is the Tesla Roadster of electric scooters,” says John Klinger, the brand manager of MiniMotors USA. Though it’s much heavier, at 95 pounds — almost three times the weight of some of the other recommended models — it “comes with a huge battery pack which will give you up to 75 miles of range, top speeds of over 50 mph (please ride responsibly), and great suspension, which is adjustable,” Kinger says. This scooter is perfect for longer distances, with almost triple the range of other models on our list. It also has ultrawide tires that are great if you travel on less than ideal road conditions. “It’s super impressive that you can have a personal transport device with 50 miles of range that will cost you 50 cents to charge up,” says Klinger.
Weight: 95 poundsRange: 75 milesWeight limit: 265 poundsRecharge time: 20 hours
Best commuter electric scooter
“For someone that is using their scooter primarily for short-distance commuting, I don’t think there are many better options than our original Levy model,” says Levenseller. “It’s also the only electric scooter with a removable battery, meaning you don’t need to carry the whole scooter around with you to get a charge on it.” You can store a backup battery in the stem of the scooter, just below the handles. It has a ten-mile range, a three hour charge time, and it weighs around 27 pounds, “which means carrying it with you on the subway, up the stairs, and tucking it away in your office shouldn’t be an issue.”
Weight: 27 poundsRange: Ten milesWeight limit: 230 poundsRecharge time: Three hours
Best electric scooter for carrying more weight
The IMAX S1 has an adjustable power setting via a “control panel on the handlebars,” says Victor. “This allows one to increase the wattage to either go faster or get up a hill. Or, one can choose a lower setting to go further in distance and get better range.” It takes only about three hours to reach full battery, and it has a range of up to 20 miles and can reach a top speed of 20 mph. The IMAX S1 is one of the heavier e-scooters, weighing around 36 pounds. But it has a powerful motor and pneumatic tires for long, comfortable rides. If your main concern is comfort, then the IMAX S1 will do the job over long distances, but it weighs almost 12 pounds more than some of the other models the experts recommended, which could be a major drawback for some people.
Weight: 36 poundsRange: 20 milesWeight limit: 528 poundsRecharge time: Three hours
Best electric scooter for a comfortable ride
“This thing is the Maserati of scooters,” says Victor. “Not because of its powerful motor that can go over 40 miles on a single charge, but rather,because of its advanced suspension, system which makes it one of the easiest scooters to control and handle on the market.” The suspension, he says, also “makes it one of the most comfortable for long rides.” It reaches a top speed of 15.5 mph and it can reach a 68-mile range if you use the eco-mode setting, though you’ll have to wait seven hours for a full charge. Plus, it weighs only 27 pounds, and it can hold a maximum weight of 264 pounds.
Weight: 27 poundsRange: 68 milesWeight limit: 264 poundsRecharge time: Six hours

These Are The 10 Best Electric Scooters in 2023
What are some of the most popular debate topics these days? Public transportation, protecting the environment and urban traffic. What if you could find a solution to all three issues with just one move?
Getting from point A to point B in a decent amount of time is a daily necessity, and doing so in an eco-friendly fashion will get you admired and applauded. Some may say that electric scooters are a joke, but they might just be the most efficient means of transportation – at least for the urban jungle.
Energy-efficient, easy to ride, and not at all expensive, electric scooters have been constantly updated and improved, and we’re not just talking about battery technology and range per charge. What should you look for when you’re buying an electric scooter?
Weight, distance, and battery – these should be the key factors when you’re making this decision. The suspension is also important, as it is responsible for a potentially smooth riding experience and warranty might also be an important issue to consider. Some people also look at design and handling, and the main idea is that cheap is not necessarily better.
Let’s just hope the list we’ve put together will point you in the right direction. So without further ado, here are the 10 best electric scooters you can buy in 2023.
Glion Dolly
A great option, at least from a financial point of view, this scooter is lightweight and oddly dependable. Its name hints towards a built-in “dolly” feature, that allows you to pull out a handle and roll this tiny scooter around, just like you would with a small carry-on suitcase.
That may not sound like much, but considering that you are dependent on electric power and you may end up with a drained battery – in that case, you begin to realize that feature is brilliant. Lugging a 30-pound scooter? That’s not a cool way of spending your time.
In terms of power, the Glion Dolly delivers a 15-mile range and it will easily carry a rider up to 255-pounds. The scooter will fully charge in four to six hours – all for the price of just 430.
Micro Merlin
Lightweight, by nature, this 800 electric scooter is called the Micro Merlin, for good reason. The company’s best-selling design, this thing has a four-speed setting, cruise control, and an integrated dual-suspension – talk about a comfy and enjoyable ride. It will take up to three hours to fully charge and it also comes with regenerative braking, a feature feature that might come in handy too.
Sure, the 15-mile range doesn’t sound all that impressive, but this lightweight electric scooter does weighs in at just 24 pounds. That’s a pretty big achievement, and a fair price for what you get.
Levy Electric Scooter
Commuters, rejoice: there’s another budget option for you in this list. If you’re in a rush and don’t really enjoy walking (or running) from one place to another, short-distance commuting will be faster than ever with this thing. For just 499, the Levy Electric Scooter will try to make your days a lot better – Just think of the stress you could do without and all the traffic jams you could avoid.
Smart, by nature, this electric scooter features a removable battery – which means maintenance and charging will be pretty easy. Sure, the ten-mile range could be improved; there’s still time for that. Otherwise, there is nothing else to keep you away from this scooter.
Magnum IMAX S1
I’m not sure why you would use a scooter for carrying around heavy loads, but for those of you willing to spend 1,000 to put that to the test, the Magnum IMAX S1 is waiting for you. Designed with an adjustable power setting, this powerful scooter allows the rider to customize the experience, depending on his or her requirements – more speed, range, or helping you carry extra weight.
It takes three hours to charge and the maximum range stands at 20 miles, but that’s because it has a 36-pound overall weight. The IMAX S1 is still pretty comfortable, due to its pneumatic tires, so it all balances out in the end. An interesting design, this one, for sure.
Xiaomi M365
Designed to be compact and provide riders with a decent range, this elegant scooter was made from aerospace-grade aluminum. A good choice for those of you shopping for something affordable and lightweight, this scooter offers a top speed of 15.5 mph and an 18.6-mile range, which will not impress most people.
But, the fact that this design won the Red Dot “Best Of the Best Award”, makes it totally worthy of a place on our list. The Xiaomi M365 packs a 250-watt motor, working alongside a high-capacity battery, which makes it ideal for city commuters. Regenerative braking is a nice touch, but you will need 5 hours for a full charge. That might be its only downside.
Inokim OX
Are you looking for the most comfortable electric scooter ride? The Inokim OX might be just what the doctor ordered. Equipped with an advanced suspension system, this stunning scooter will set you back 1,700. But it’s all worth it. Comfortable for long rides and able to reach speeds of up to 15.5 mph, this thing will keep going for about 68 miles.
There’s also an eco-mode setting worth mentioning, although I would not want to wait seven hours for a full charge. That is definitely not time-efficient, although you could be doing something else in that time. What do you think?
Turboant X7 Pro
Inspired by the successful Turboant X7, the Turboant X7 Pro promises high-quality rides and the best value for your money. This cool scooter brags about more power, 10-inch pneumatic tires, and a 20-mile range – not to mention the 20 mph to speed – it may difficult to find anything better in the same price range (around 500).
This scooter is also foldable and the detachable battery pack is also a great idea. With an overall weight of 33 pounds, the Turboant X7 Pro might just be a keeper. Any urban dweller would be lucky to own one of these.
Mercane WideWheel Pro
Looking like a high-end scooter, at a decent price, Mercane’s WideWheel Pro is definitely something else. The wide and solid wheels on this thing offer a comfortable ride, while the scooter’s surprisingly powerful 500W motors will deliver quite the thrills.
With a top speed of 26 mph and range of 30 miles, things are looking very good. The 6-month warranty, though, might leave you with a bitter taste in your mouth. But the 48V Lithium-ion battery comes in to save the day. The front and rear spring suspension is also very impressive, making this scooter a comfortable choice too.
Segway Ninebot KickScooter Max
If you’re looking for a better range, look no further. Ideal for leisure rides, this 600 scooter features a wide base and a tall standing height. The Segway Ninebot KickScooter Max is a bit on the heavy side, which might not make it a good idea for commuting around town, but it still offers a very comfortable ride.
This scooter brags about a 40-mile range, however, you should consider the 6-hour charging time. Top speed stands at 18.6 mph, while the modern LED dashboard helps diagnose any potential maintenance issues. Overall, an impressive choice.
Dualtron Thunder Electric Scooter
If you’re willing to invest a few more cents – actually, 3,699 – this electric scooter blows everything out of the water. It’s called the “Tesla Roadster” of electric scooters for good reason. Boasting a huge battery pack, which takes its overall weight to 95-pounds, this thing is pretty heavy, but also incredibly fast.
Riders may enjoy an impressive 75-mile range, while the top speed stands at a cool 50 mph – a bit too much for a scooter, if you ask me, but still very appealing. The Dualtron Thunder also comes with a carefully-designed suspension system and extra wide tires, which help with balance and comfort, but its 20-hour charging time might and the hefty price might discourage a few people.
