Everything the Dual Motor X trail has to offer

Let’s take an in-depth look at the top-selling points of the Dual Motor X trail scooter.

The body: Material

In this Dual Motor X trail review, we will be starting with the body of the scooter. It is made of aluminum alloy 6061. This incredible finishing to the body of the X-trail scooter leaves it resistant to water. The colour, texture, and the quality of the materials used in every part are merely astounding. 

The aluminum alloy used in making the metal-framed parts of the scooter is just the best decision. If you don’t know aluminum alloys, they are always attractive in appearance, cost-effective and they can be easily recycled. These features are a win. 

Assuming this scooter has been made with other metal alternatives like iron, copper or brass, the weight will be three times its current weight. The use of Aluminum alloy makes the scooter very sturdy and with a very high strength-to-weight ratio. 

Additional advantages of using aluminum alloy are that the scooter enjoys resilience under static and dynamic loading. This frame makes the scooter resistant to corrosion, gives it the ability to conduct heat and a reflective surface that makes the bike all the more beautiful. 

Tires

This is also an impressive part of the scooter. First of all, the tires are 10 inches wide, and they are tubeless. The off-terrain tires are adapted for any terrain you may want to ride on. These tires are adapted for riding on the road, in the woods, and not-too-deep quicksand. The tires are as rugged as they can get and with the quad shocks fitted with them, your scooter is more than safe. 

The Dual Motor X-trail has quad shocks in the front wheel and dual shocks at the rear wheel. The shocks are perfect for keeping your scooter balanced and steady.  

On the front wheel, there are two shocks each on either side, while at the rear, there is one quad shock on either side. Featuring the quad and dual shocks on the front and back wheel respectively is very impressive. This is another score for X-trail. 

Suspensions

This Dual Motor X trail scooter review will not be complete without a word of how effective the suspension system is. During our test ride, the suspension was very useful as it combined seamlessly with the disc braking system to bring the scooter to a stop whenever we wanted. With this suspension, we can assure you of complete safety and balance.

The suspension also makes handling very easy. Coupled with the motors and the ergonomic handles, handling is effortless. The purpose of the motors is to get you going without having to expend much energy. The suspension system makes this process easier. 

Motors

Just as the name implies, it is a dual-motor scooter, and you can only imagine the power and speed this will offer you. The motors featured on this bike are 800 watts each. In total, you get 1600 watts. This high power delivered by the motor brings about fast speeds, and you can quickly move uphill without worry. The motors are situated in the rear wheel, with a shiny silvery finishing to complement the aesthetics of the scooter. 

The battery

The motors are powered by a 15 Ah battery of 48 volts. The lithium battery produces enough power to push the scooter for over 40 kilometres. This is impressive and makes it worth every penny you will pay for this bike. 

While preparing for the Dual motor X trail scooter review, we took it to about 60 km, well beyond the stipulated maximum of 40 km. This seems insane, right? This is to prove that the scooter can be pushed beyond its boundaries. Of course, you won’t push it that hard every time, but when needed, you can always achieve it. The recommended distance is 32km, and we think this is more than enough for everyday use. 

The batteries get to full charge between 5 to 6 hours. So, just by leaving the scooter plugged in overnight, it becomes fully charged, and you are ready to commute the next day. 

The handles

These are just ergonomic as they can get, making handling very effortless. There are other components on the handlebar, all designed to improve functionality in the scooter. 

First on the handle is the display. Switching on display is quite easy. There is a power button just beside it, which you hold down for just about a second before the LCD control screen turns on. Just beneath the display screen, there is the red button to control the motors. You can switch between single and full power on the motors. Using this all depends on the terrain you are currently on. If you are going downhill, turning to the single motor to conserve power is advisable. If you will be riding uphill, you can decide to use dual motors. 

Right beside the red button, there is a yellow button meant for the horns. It’s not quite as loud as found in motorcycles, but it does the job of letting people know you are right behind since most of your travel will be done on the pedestrian lane.

On the left hand, there is another horn (a red button this time). So you can use your horn while trying to switch between motors. This is just so convenient. 

Lights

There are also the light controls on the handlebars. The Dual Motor X trail scores so well with its lighting system. The headlights are bright, and you have no problem navigating the streets at night. With the swift controls, you can toggle them off and on, quickly. 

The scooter also has a lightning system around the board that provides for adequate night visibility. Hence, when riding at night, you don’t have to worry about an incoming car not seeing you and the scooter. The light twitches at a fast frequency to get the attention of incoming persons immediately. 

There is also a rear lightning system for the brakes. Once you press on the brakes, the light comes on to notify those behind you. All these lighting systems make the Dual Motor X trail scooter cool, way out of the league of traditional scooters. Toronto roads are always busy and to ensure safety, you have to be visible while you commute. The Dual Motor X Trail takes care of that.

Brakes

There are two brakes for the Dual Motor X trail scooter, working in sync with the suspension. Each of the wheels has its connected disc brake. The rear wheel has the brake on the left handle, while the front wheel’s brake is located on the right handle. Beyond the disc braking system, there is a feature of the electric brakes that automatically cuts the motor off when pressed. 

Collapsing and assembling

This scooter has many parts and features that make this scooter top-notch. However, beyond the components, lightweight, and ease of drive, the folding is another characteristic that will surely catch your fancy. 

Whether you are travelling, or you want it stashed away for some time, you can do it with ease. Folding the scooter away is very simple. On the handle, there are two levers on either side. Pull back at the levers and you can have it folded in no time. 

There is a third lever just behind the front wheel, pull it back, followed by pulling another lever right beside the front wheel.  Pulling these two levers, the whole stem of the scooter falls back on the board. It is that easy.

Assembling the collapsed scooter back into place is also very easy. Pull the collapsed stem back up, and allow for the lever to clutch back into place. Then make sure it is keyed by pushing the lever behind the front wheel into position once these are done, then to the handle levers. Just by lifting the handles back up, they snap into place. In a few seconds, your scooter is all set. 

Adjustable stem

In the course of the Dual motor X trail scooter review, we found that the stem can also be adjusted. This solves the problem of height compatibility. By opening the lever along the stem, you can raise or reduce the height of the stem to your height. Once you get the height right, lock the lever back into position, and you are ready to ride. 

This is an excellent feature if you are going to share the scooter with other adults or young teenagers. You don’t have to worry about getting a scooter that complements different heights. This does the trick for everyone.
