Dualtron Spider Max

Dualtron Spider Max is a lightweight dual motor scooter that hits hard for its size. It feels like a real performance machine but still stays kind of friendly in daily life. So it works well for riders who want strong power, solid range, and a scooter they can still pick up when they need to. In this overview you will see what it is, how it works, and what living with it looks like.

What Is the Dualtron Spider Max?

Dualtron Spider Max sits in the sweet spot between compact commuters and huge “tank” scooters. It runs a 60 V system with a 30 Ah Samsung 21700 battery pack, so you get around 1.8 kWh of energy under the deck. The scooter weighs about 31.5 kg, around 69.5 lb, which feels sturdy on the road but still manageable in the hand.

Power comes from two brushless hub motors, one in each wheel. Each motor is rated at 1000 W nominal, with a combined peak of about 4000 W. On private roads and in perfect conditions the listed top speed reaches up to 80 km/h, close to 50 mph, with a light rider and a full battery. The claimed range goes up to about 100 km, around 62 miles, at low speeds with a lighter rider on flat ground.

The frame and swing arms use 6082 T6 aluminum, with a steel steering shaft for strength. So the Dualtron Spider Max feels closer to a compact motorcycle chassis than a rental scooter. The rated load is 120 kg, about 265 lb, which covers a wide range of riders. An IPX5 rating means it handles light rain and splashes, though deep puddles and storms still stay off limits.

How the Dualtron Spider Max Works

The heart of the scooter is the 60 V battery buried in the deck. It feeds a controller mounted near the rear. That controller reads the throttle signal and then sends timed pulses of current to each motor.

Both motors are brushless direct drive hub units. They hide all moving parts inside the wheels. So there are no chains or belts to tighten or replace. You press the thumb or trigger throttle. Then a sensor reads how far you push it. The controller reacts and tells the motors how much torque to give. The response feels quick yet smooth when everything is set up right.

Stopping power comes from hydraulic disc brakes backed up by electronic braking. NUTT hydraulic calipers bite 140 mm rotors on both wheels. At the same time the electronic brake mode adds motor resistance when you pull the levers. You can change the strength of this electric braking in the display menu. So you decide if you want a free rolling feel or a strong “engine brake” effect.

The EY4 display sits at the center of the handlebar. It shows speed, battery level, riding mode, and trip data in a bright layout. It can also pair with your phone over Bluetooth for deeper settings and logs. Cruise control is built into this system. Once you switch it on in the menu, you can hold a steady speed on long, empty stretches with a quick trigger action.

Key Specifications

On paper, the specifications put the Spider Max in the lighter side of the high performance class, with a clear focus on power to weight.

So the raw specifications tell you this is not a toy. It is a serious scooter that can still fit into normal daily life.

Design & Build Quality

The Dualtron Spider Max keeps the sharp, almost industrial look that many riders already know from the brand. The deck is long and wide enough for a natural stance with one foot forward and one back. A raised rear footrest gives extra leverage when you launch hard or brake hard. The rubber deck covering feels grippy even if your shoes pick up a bit of dust.

At the front you get a double clamp steering tube. That design gives better stiffness than older single clamp stems. So you hear fewer creaks and feel less flex when you push the scooter at higher speeds. Foldable handlebars make the cockpit narrow when you need to store or carry it. Then they lock firmly when you open them again, which is important for confidence.

The EY4 display mounts close to the center. Brake levers and the throttle sit near the grips. Buttons for lights, horn, and turn signals sit close to your thumbs. So you can keep both hands on the bar and still reach the controls. Cables and hoses follow clean paths down the stem and into the deck. The rear controller placement moves weight toward the back and keeps the main frame less crowded.

Fit and finish feel quite refined. Welds look clean, paint looks even, and rubber covers sit where they should without gaps. The kickstand has a solid stance and does not feel flimsy. So daily use, from parking outside a shop to rolling it into a hallway, feels simple and steady.

Performance Fundamentals

On level ground the Dualtron Spider Max picks up speed fast, yet not wild if you choose the right mode. In the strongest setting the scooter jumps to city speeds in only a few seconds. So it makes sense to start in a gentler mode on day one. Then you can move up once your finger gets used to the throttle.

At 25 to 30 mph the scooter feels calm and planted. The long wheelbase and 10 inch tires help it track straight. The wide bar and double clamp stem cut down wobble. So even on slightly rough pavement you get a stable ride as long as you keep your weight centered and your knees a bit bent.

Hill climbing is one of the fun parts. On slopes in the 7 to 10% range, the Dualtron Spider Max keeps pulling without drama if the battery still has a good charge. You lean forward a bit, keep both feet firm on the deck, and it just climbs. It does not feel like a small commuter scooter gasping near the top of the hill.

Top speed runs are serious business. You need full gear, clear roads, and respect for local rules. Many regions cap legal speeds for scooters far below the listed maximum. So it makes sense to set the top speed and power mode to match where you ride and how busy the street is.

Battery, Range & Efficiency

The 60 V 30 Ah battery gives a lot of energy for this weight. On paper you see up to around 100 km of range, about 62 mi, with a light rider, smooth pavement, warm weather, and low average speed. In real life most people will not ride like that. So a more honest range for mixed riding sits in the 40 to 60 km band, around 25 to 37 mi, on one charge.

Speed has a big impact. If you spend most of the time at high speed, range drops faster. Rider weight, hills, tire pressure, and outside temperature change things too. So two owners of the same scooter can see very different numbers from the same battery and specifications.

Charging fits well into normal routines. One stock charger needs about 17 hours from empty, which works for slow overnight fills. Two standard chargers cut that down to roughly 9 hours. A 6.5 A fast charger trims it to about 4.6 hours from low state of charge. So you can pick a charging setup that fits your day and your outlets.

Good charging habits help the pack last longer. So it makes sense not to drain the battery down to zero every time. Many riders keep daily use between roughly 20% and 90% and save 100% charges for longer trips. Storing the scooter in a cool, dry place with the battery around half full during long breaks also helps.

Ride Quality & Comfort

Ride comfort on the Dualtron Spider Max comes from the tires, the rubber suspension, and the roomy deck. The 10 x 2.5 in pneumatic tires use inner tubes. So they soak up small cracks and rough patches better than solid rubber. Tire pressure matters a lot here. Too high, and the ride feels harsh. Too low, and the scooter feels vague and risks pinch flats.

You get rubber block suspension at the front and rubber cartridges at the back. The rear cartridges come in different stiffness levels. So lighter riders can pick softer units and heavier riders can choose stiffer ones. The ride ends up firm but controlled. You still feel sharp potholes, yet the scooter does not bounce around or pogo.

Stem flex stays low thanks to the double clamp and solid tube. On broken pavement at medium speed, the scooter holds its line without much chatter in the bar. The long deck and rear footrest let you move your feet a bit during longer rides. So you can swap stance, stretch your legs a little, and keep your body more relaxed.

Braking & Safety Features

The braking setup on this scooter is strong for its class. NUTT hydraulic calipers with 140 mm rotors sit on both wheels. Lever feel starts smooth and then ramps into a firm bite about halfway through the pull. So you can feather speed easily or go for a strong stop when you need it.

Electronic braking adds another layer. When you turn it up in the menu, rolling off the throttle and using the levers makes the motors act like engine brakes. This helps on long downhills and reduces stress on the mechanical parts. It also gives a more controlled feel when you slow down from higher speeds.

Lighting and signals cover most city needs. A bright 30 W front headlight lights the path and makes you visible from ahead. Rear lights, a brake light, and turn signals show others what you are doing. Side LEDs on the deck give extra visibility from the sides in low light. An electric horn gives a clear sound that stands out more than a small bike bell.

With the IPX5 rating, the Dualtron Spider Max can deal with wet roads and light rain. Even so, wet pavement always means longer stopping distances and less grip. So it makes sense to slow down, give more space, and ride smoothly when the road is shiny.

Portability & Daily Usability

At around 31.5 kg, or 69.5 lb, the Dualtron Spider Max is not a featherweight. Still, it is much easier to move than the huge 11 inch dual motor scooters. Lifting it into a car trunk, up a short flight of stairs, or onto a train platform is doable for many adults, especially if you use both hands and plan the lift.

The folding system helps a lot here. The stem folds down toward the deck and the handlebars fold inward. Folded size is about 1140 x 220 x 510 mm, or roughly 45 x 9 x 20 in. So it fits into many trunks, closets, and under some desks. A hook on the rear footrest can latch onto the folding point to keep the scooter together while you carry it.

For home storage, a dry hallway, garage, or shed works fine. The IP rating gives some peace of mind, but the battery still prefers a cool and dry spot. For daily parking, a strong lock through the frame and a cable through both wheels makes sense. The scooter looks expensive, so smart parking spots and good locks are part of the routine.

Dualtron Spider Max vs Alternatives

In the wider scooter world, Dualtron Spider Max fills a clear gap. Regular commuter scooters in the 500 to 800 W range often weigh 15 to 20 kg and top out at 25 to 30 km/h, or 15 to 18 mph. They shine on flat bike lanes but lose steam on steep hills. Big 11 inch dual motor scooters can weigh 45 kg or more and feel more like small motorbikes to move and store.

Spider Max lands right between these groups. It brings real high speed potential, strong torque, and long range, while still staying under 32 kg. So it makes sense for riders who have outgrown smaller models like the original Dualtron Spider and want more power and better suspension without jumping to a massive frame.

At the same time, riders who want an even stronger machine may look at heavier models in the line, including Dualtron Spider 2. Those can add more raw punch and sometimes more features, but they also move a bit farther from the “carry it sometimes” zone.

For city and suburban pavement, the Dualtron Spider Max gives a very balanced mix. It feels fast, yet not absurd. It folds, yet still feels like a serious machine when you stand on it.

Who the Dualtron Spider Max Is (and Isn’t) For

Dualtron Spider Max works best for riders who want real performance and still need some level of portability. Daily commuters with hills, mixed roads, and some open stretches will like the strong motors and the stable chassis. Students and workers who ride part of the way and then jump on a train can still lift it for short periods and tuck it into small spaces.

The scooter also suits heavier riders inside the 120 kg limit who feel that small commuters run out of steam. Families can share it between members of different weights, as long as everyone respects the power and wears proper safety gear.

It is not ideal for every case. People who climb many floors of stairs by hand every single day will find it heavy. Riders who only need a tiny scooter for short flat trips may prefer something lighter and simpler. Off road fans who spend most of their time on rough dirt or forest tracks may want longer travel suspension and 11 in knobby tires.

For many urban and suburban riders though, the mix of power, weight, range, comfort, and practical specifications makes Dualtron Spider Max a very solid all round choice that still leaves room to grow as your skills improve.
