Dualtron 3

The Dualtron 3 is a big step up from a basic city scooter.
It is a heavy dual motor machine for riders who want strong power, long rides, and real brakes, not just a toy to buzz around the block.
In this guide we walk through what it does well, where it feels tricky, and how its key specifications translate into daily use.

What Is the Dualtron 3?

The Dualtron 3 comes from Minimotors, a Korean brand that focuses on high power electric scooters.
This model runs a 60 V system with two brushless hub motors that peak around 3,600 watts.
So it lands in the performance class, not in the small rental style group, yet it still stays below the huge hyper models.

On private roads the Dualtron 3 can reach about 40 mph (65 km/h).
In many countries shops sell it with a speed limiter, often set near 15.5 mph (25 km/h), so riders stay closer to local rules.
The deck hides a 60 V 28 Ah battery, around 1,658 Wh, built from branded cells.
On paper that gives a rated 62 to 75 mi (100 to 120 km) in gentle riding with a light rider at low speed.

Real life looks different.
Most owners see something like 35 to 50 mi (55 to 80 km) in mixed city use with a mid weight adult, rolling hills, and cruise speeds in the 20 to 30 mph range.
So this scooter works well for longer commutes, extra errands, and weekend rides without a midday charge.

The frame weighs about 79 lb (36 kg) and the rated load sits around 265 lb (120 kg).
Weight sits low in the deck, which helps stability at speed but makes stairs a pain.
So the Dualtron 3 fits riders with a garage, ground floor parking, or at least an elevator more than people who live on the fourth floor with no lift.

How the Dualtron 3 Works

Each wheel hides a brushless DC hub motor inside the rim.
When you pull the trigger throttle, the controller feeds power from the deck battery into those motors.
So torque comes in fast and the scooter moves forward with a strong yet smooth pull and a soft electric whine.

On the right side of the handlebar you get the EY3 LCD display with the trigger throttle.
The screen shows speed, trip, total mileage, voltage, and ride time.
You can go into the P menu and tweak how sharply the scooter starts, how strong the electronic brake feels, and whether cruise control turns on.

The left side carries the rear brake lever and a small switch module.
One button flips between Eco and Turbo, and the other swaps Single or Dual motor.
So you can run calm Single Eco for crowded paths or full Turbo Dual for steep hills and open stretches.

Brakes use discs front and rear with 140 mm rotors.
When you pull a lever, the caliper clamps the disc and the system also triggers regenerative braking in the motors.
Regen helps slow the scooter and sends a bit of energy back into the pack, while saving some pad wear.

Many Dualtron 3 units come with an electronic ABS feature.
Under very hard braking ABS pulses the regen in quick bursts.
So the tires keep rolling instead of locking all at once on smooth or wet ground, even if the lever pull is not perfect.

Key Specifications

Here is a quick specifications table for the Dualtron 3 with both imperial and metric units.

Local law can change top speed limits, where you can ride, and what gear you need, so check those details before your first trip.

Design & Build Quality

The Dualtron 3 looks chunky and serious from the first glance.
The deck is long and wide with a raised rear footrest, so you can plant your rear foot and really lean into braking and hard pulls.
Side LED strips along the deck and neck give it a clean light show at night without turning it into a toy.

Welds on the frame look thick and neat.
The swing arms feel solid when you rock the scooter side to side, and there is no rattling from the main joints when everything is set up right.
The folding stem uses a sliding clamp that you tighten and then lock with a small screw.
Once you learn how much to tighten, the bar feels firm for city speeds.

The handlebars fold in to shrink the width for storage.
The cockpit is a little busy at first, yet you get used to it.
On the right side you have the EY3 display, throttle, and front brake lever.
On the left side you have the rear brake, a bell or horn if fitted, and the Eco or Turbo plus Single or Dual buttons.

Cables stay close to the stem and front plate.
So most riders will not hit them with their knees while turning.
Overall the scooter feels like a compact tank, with finish quality that matches its price and power.

Performance Fundamentals

Launch feels very different depending on how you set it up.
In low gear levels with Single motor and Eco mode, the Dualtron 3 pulls away in a smooth and friendly way.
So a rider who comes from a smaller scooter can get used to the trigger without stress.

Turn on Turbo Dual with a stronger start setting and the scooter really wakes up.
The pull from a stop can surprise you if your stance is not ready, so many owners keep a softer launch on P settings and save full spicy mode for open roads.
Rolling acceleration from 15 to 25 mph still feels strong, which helps on hills and short sprints.

Cruising at 25 to 30 mph feels stable.
The long wheelbase, wide deck, and 10 inch tubeless tires all work together to keep the scooter planted.
You can lean into wide turns with steady handlebar pressure and the scooter tracks the line without drama.

Near the top end some riders feel a bit of stem wobble, especially with soft suspension inserts and low tire pressure.
So suspension setup matters.
Stiffer rubber cartridges, correct pressure, and a steering damper for very fast use keep the front end calmer.

Hill riding is one of the fun parts.
On grades around 7 to 10% the Dualtron 3 holds speed with a mid weight rider and still has more power for short bursts.
Steeper ramps need a little run up and a forward lean, yet the scooter still climbs in a confident way rather than slowing to a crawl.

Battery, Range & Efficiency

The 60 V 28 Ah battery gives enough energy for serious daily use.
If you roll on flat routes at low speed with a light rider, you can get quite close to the rated upper range.
In normal mixed city riding most people land in that 35 to 50 mi window on a full charge.

Range changes fast with rider weight, speed, road surface, and temperature.
Cold days reduce what the pack can deliver and headwinds force the motors to draw more current for the same speed.
So it makes sense to plan longer trips with a bit of buffer and avoid running the battery down to zero every time.

With one stock 1.7 to 2 A charger, a near empty pack takes roughly 16 hours.
Adding a second stock charger drops that to about 8 hours.
A 6.5 A fast charger cuts it to somewhere around 4 or 5 hours if you start low.

For long battery life a simple routine works well.
Try to park the scooter in a cool dry place, not in a hot car.
If you store it for more than a week, leave the battery around the middle, not full and not empty.
Unplug the charger once it finishes rather than leaving it connected for days.

Ride Quality & Comfort

Ride feel comes from the rubber suspension and the fat tubeless tires.
Both front and rear use rubber cartridges that compress as you hit bumps.
You can fit softer inserts for comfort or harder ones for heavy riders and higher speeds.

At city speeds the scooter smooths out cracked pavement and small potholes in a pretty relaxed way.
Square edged hits still come through the deck, yet they feel dull rather than sharp if your tire pressure is in the right range.
The 10 x 2.7 in tires grip well on dry tarmac and roll quickly.

The deck gives plenty of room for a staggered stance.
The raised rear footrest lets you brace during hard braking or launches and it doubles as a handle when you lift the scooter a little.
Bar height works for many riders between roughly 5 ft 6 in and 6 ft 2 in.
Very tall riders may prefer a small riser bar to keep their back straighter on long trips.

Stem flex is present but not wild.
If you push the bar side to side while standing still you will feel a bit of movement, yet during normal riding it does not feel loose once the clamp is set correctly.

Braking & Safety Features

Dual disc brakes give the Dualtron 3 strong stopping power.
Levers feel firm, and the bite ramps up clearly once you pass the half pull point.
So you can feather them for light slowdowns or pull harder for quick stops.

Electronic braking kicks in as soon as you touch the levers.
You can tune regen strength in the EY3 menu.
High settings slow the scooter fast and save pad wear, while lower settings feel smoother and more natural to some riders.

ABS mode pulses the regen when you brake hard.
At very low speeds that pulse can feel a bit noisy and rough at the lever.
At higher speeds it helps keep the tires from sliding as easily on wet or dusty ground.

Lighting covers the basics.
Front LEDs make you visible from the front and side, deck LEDs make the scooter stand out at night, and the rear light brightens when you brake.
For proper night rides, many owners add a bright bar light or a helmet light so they can see farther and read road texture better.

There is no formal IP rating for the Dualtron 3.
So heavy rain, deep puddles, and pressure washing are all risky for the display, connectors, and bearings.
If you get caught in light rain, dry the scooter and let it rest before charging.

Portability & Daily Usability

At around 79 lb the Dualtron 3 is not a grab and go scooter.
Short lifts into a trunk or over a small step are fine for a fit rider.
Carrying it up several flights of stairs every day will feel like gym work very fast.

The folding process stays simple once you have done it a few times.
You fold the handlebars, release the main clamp, lower the stem, and latch it onto the rear footrest.
Then you roll the scooter on its wheels like heavy luggage instead of trying to hold the full weight.

Folded length sits just under 45 in, so it fits in many compact trunks and hatchbacks if you clear out bags and tools first.
For home storage it needs floor space similar to a small bike.
A wall mount or ground anchor plus a strong lock is a good idea if you keep it in a shared garage.

Daily routines help a lot with a scooter at this level.
Check tire pressure, brake feel, stem clamp tightness, and battery level before each ride.
Lock through the frame and at least one wheel when you park, and avoid leaving it outside overnight if you can.

Dualtron 3 vs Alternatives

Compared with small 500 W commuter scooters, the Dualtron 3 brings a big jump in power, top speed, and braking strength.
It also brings more weight and higher cost, so it makes sense mainly for riders who really use that extra performance.

If you know the bigger Dualtron X or the Dualtron Ultra 2, this scooter sits below them in raw power and size.
Those models push deeper into hyper scooter territory with higher voltage and top speeds.
The Dualtron 3 trades some of that extreme edge for lower weight, slightly easier handling in the city, and simpler storage.

For someone moving up from a mid range single motor scooter, this model feels like a huge upgrade.
For someone who already rides a 72 V monster, it may feel like a calmer, more practical option.
On paper its specifications place it in a strong tier that covers fast commuting and fun rides without going overboard.

Who the Dualtron 3 Is (and Isn’t) For

The Dualtron 3 suits riders who already have some miles on smaller scooters or powerful e bikes.
It works well for daily commutes between about 5 and 20 mi each way, especially if your route includes hills or faster sections of road.
It also fits riders who want one scooter for work days and long weekend trips without constant charging.

It does not suit very young riders or people who treat scooters like simple toys.
Power levels stay high enough that you need at least a good helmet and gloves, and many owners use full face gear and armor.
It also does not suit someone who must drag a scooter up several floors of stairs each day.

The Dualtron 3 fits best when you have secure indoor storage, a clear charging spot, and routes that let the scooter stretch its legs now and then.
If your rides are short inner city hops at low speed with lots of carrying, a lighter scooter will likely feel smarter.
If you want huge jumps, off road trails, or 50+ mph road runs, you will probably end up in the bigger class instead.

So take a hard look at your real routes, storage, and local rules.
Then see if the weight, power, and specifications of the Dualtron 3 line up with the way you actually ride, not just the way you imagine riding on a perfect sunny weekend.
