As Dubai's streets evolve, so does our need for efficient, eco-friendly transportation. We at ScootUp.ae have tested countless electric scooters, and we're excited to share our top picks for UAE riders. Let's dive into six standout models that could change your daily commute or weekend adventures forever.

 

APRILIA ESRZ: Italian Flair Meets Urban Practicality

    Aprilia's leap into the e-scooter world brings us the ESRZ, a nimble city companion priced at a wallet-friendly 1,600 AED (down from 2,000 AED). This scooter doesn't just look good - it performs. With its 300W motor (peaking at 600W), the ESRZ tackles Dubai's flat roads and modest inclines with ease, managing gradients up to 15%.

    The ESRZ shines in its versatility. Four speed modes max out at 25 km/h, perfect for zipping through Jumeirah or cruising along Beach Road. Its 8.5-inch tires provide a stable ride, while the electronic front and rear disc brakes offer reliable stopping power - crucial for navigating busy areas like Dubai Mall or DIFC. The IPX5 water resistance is a nice touch for those rare rainy days. While the max load of 100kg might be limiting for some, the ESRZ's compact frame and 4-hour charge time make it an ideal choice for most Dubai commuters.

INOKIM OXO: The Long-Range Powerhouse

    For those seeking serious scooter performance, the INOKIM OXO is a game-changer. Yes, the 6,900 AED price tag (down from 9,950 AED) is steep, but hear me out. This beast boasts a top speed of 65 km/h and an impressive 110 km range - enough to get you from Dubai Marina to Sharjah and back on a single charge.

    The OXO's 2,000-watt motor laughs in the face of Dubai's occasional strong headwinds, while its 10-inch tires and hydraulic disc brakes provide a smooth, controlled ride even at higher speeds. I took this scooter from Downtown Dubai to Palm Jumeirah, and it handled the varied terrain like a champ. The 33.5 kg weight isn't exactly featherlight, but the solid build quality gives you confidence in its durability. If you're a heavy user looking to replace car trips or just want the best performance available, the OXO is hard to beat.

SEGWAY NINEBOT KICKSCOOTER F2 PRO: The All-Rounder

    Segway's reputation for quality shines through in the Ninebot Kickscooter F2 Pro, available at ScootUp.ae for 2,200 AED (reduced from 2,800 AED). This model strikes a nice balance between performance and portability, making it ideal for Dubai's mixed urban landscape.

    The F2 Pro's 450-watt motor won't set speed records, but its 25 km/h top speed is perfect for most urban uses, be it commuting to Dubai Internet City or leisurely rides along Kite Beach. What impressed me most was the 55 km range - enough for several days of typical use. The 10-inch pneumatic tires handled the occasional uneven pavement around older parts of Deira with aplomb, and the disc brake system provided confident stops.

I appreciate the thoughtful extras: the integrated app for tracking rides and locking the scooter, the clear display, and the built-in lighting for those early morning or late evening trips. At 15 kg, it's manageable to carry up stairs or onto the Metro when needed. The F2 Pro isn't the fastest or the longest-range option, but its well-rounded feature set makes it a solid choice for many Dubai riders.

INOKIM QUICK4: The Urban Speedster

    INOKIM strikes again with the QUICK4, a sleek performer priced at 4,150 AED (down from 6,620 AED). This scooter hits the sweet spot between the everyday commuter and the speed enthusiast. With a top speed of 40 km/h, it's perfect for those looking to cut down on some minutes off their commute to Dubai Media City or for quick jaunts between meetings in DIFC.

    The QUICK4's 70 km range is a standout feature, easily covering longer trips like Dubai to Sharjah without range anxiety. Its 600-watt motor provides ample power for most of Dubai's terrain, though you might notice a slight lag on the steeper approaches to some of the city's elevated walkways. The front and back drum brakes offer reliable stopping power, crucial when navigating busy areas like JBR Walk. At 21.5 kg, it's not the lightest option, but still manageable for carrying short distances or storing in your office. The 10-inch tires and IPX4 water resistance make it a versatile choice for year-round use in Dubai's climate.

HR-F40: Budget-Friendly Reliability

    For those dipping their toes into the e-scooter world, the HR-F40 offers an attractive entry point at just 990 AED (reduced from 1,399 AED). Don't let the price fool you - this scooter packs a punch for urban Dubai living.

    With a range of up to 35 km and a top speed of 30 km/h, the HR-F40 is well-suited for short to medium commutes, like zipping from Dubai Marina to JLT or exploring the length of City Walk. The 10-inch honeycomb tires are a clever touch, offering puncture resistance while maintaining a smooth ride - perfect for the occasional debris you might encounter in developing areas of the city.

    I was impressed by the 120 kg weight limit, accommodating for a wider range of riders or those carrying groceries from Dubai Mall. The rear disc brake paired with EABS (Electronic Anti-lock Brake System) provides reassuring stopping power, even when navigating the sometimes unpredictable traffic around older parts of Deira. While the climbing angle of 15° won't conquer every hill, it's more than adequate for most of Dubai's urban landscape. The inclusion of an app for easy tracking and the bright LED lights for nighttime visibility make this an excellent value proposition for budget-conscious Dubai riders.

LAMBORGHINI AL EXT: Italian Luxury on Two Wheels

    For those who want their scooter to make as much of a statement as their car, the LAMBORGHINI AL EXT delivers. Priced at 5,800 AED (down from 6,000 AED), this scooter brings Italian flair to Dubai's streets.

    The AL EXT isn't about raw speed - its top speed of 25 km/h adheres to local regulations. Instead, it focuses on style and build quality. The 11-inch tires (the largest of our reviewed models) provide a supremely comfortable ride, soaking up the occasional bumps you might encounter along Sheikh Zayed Road or in older neighborhoods like Satwa.

    With a 40 km range, it's ideal for daily commutes or weekend leisure rides along Jumeirah Beach. The 500-watt motor, while not the most powerful, provides smooth acceleration - perfect for gracefully pulling away from Dubai's many traffic lights. The combination of front and rear disk brakes plus electric braking ensures you stop as elegantly as you ride.

    At 28.5 kg, the AL EXT is on the heavier side, but this translates to rock-solid stability, even when fully loaded to its 120 kg capacity. It's the scooter equivalent of a luxury SUV - not the fastest or most agile, but unmatched in presence and comfort. If you want to turn heads while gliding through Dubai Marina or arriving at a business meeting in Business Bay, the LAMBORGHINI AL EXT is your stylish steed.
