Dualtron Ultra

The Dualtron Ultra is a serious off-road electric scooter for riders who want real power in a compact frame. It pulls like a small dirt bike yet still folds and fits in a car. So it suits people who ride long distances, climb steep hills, and want more than a basic city scooter.

You get a big battery, dual motors, and a very solid chassis. At the same time, you take on real weight and strong acceleration. So this is not a casual first scooter.

What Is the Dualtron Ultra?

The Dualtron Ultra is a high power model from Minimotors. It sits in the extreme performance side of the Dualtron range. So it aims at riders who want big torque, high speed on private roads, and strong off-road grip.

It uses two brushless hub motors, one in each wheel. Together they reach up to 5,400 watts of peak power. So the scooter feels strong from the first push of the throttle. It can reach around 80 km/h, or about 50 mph, when derestricted and used in the right setting.

The deck is long and wide. You can stand with a staggered stance and still move your feet a bit. This helps you brace under hard acceleration and braking. The rated max load is about 120 kg, or 265 lb, so heavier riders still fit inside the design.

You see clear off-road intent in the tire choice. Big 11 inch knobby pneumatic tires give grip on dirt, gravel, and forest tracks. On smooth tarmac they feel a bit busy, yet they still hold a line once you get used to them.

How the Dualtron Ultra Works

The core of the Dualtron Ultra is its dual motor system. Each wheel hides a brushless DC hub motor. When you pick dual motor mode, both motors push at the same time. So the scooter launches hard and keeps pulling on long hills.

Two motor controllers sit inside the deck. They read the signal from the throttle and send current from the battery in rapid pulses. This keeps the power smooth and helps with heat control. The base of the deck acts like a big heat sink plate, so airflow under the scooter pulls heat away while you ride.

The battery sits inside the deck as well. It is a 60 V, 35 Ah lithium ion pack, with around 2,060 Wh of energy. That is large for a scooter. So voltage sag stays modest under hard load. You still feel strong pull even when the charge drops into the middle of the pack.

On the handlebar, the EYE display and finger throttle control everything. You see speed, battery bar, and trip data on the small screen. Buttons close to your thumb let you change power mode, pick single or dual motor, and set things like regenerative braking level and cruise control.

Braking comes from dual mechanical disc brakes with 160 mm rotors, plus electronic motor braking. When you pull a lever, the pads clamp the rotor. At the same time, the motors switch into a generator mode that slows the wheels and sends a bit of energy back to the pack. So you get a strong, layered braking feel.

Key Specifications

Here is a clear look at the main technical specifications for the Dualtron Ultra.

These technical specifications put the Dualtron Ultra squarely in the extreme performance group, not near simple rental scooters.

Design & Build Quality

The Dualtron Ultra looks and feels tough from the first moment. The deck is long, wide, and covered with a grippy surface. You can stand with your back foot across the rear and your front foot angled. So you stay stable when you brake or hit a bump.

The frame uses forged aluminum swing arms and a reinforced stem with a steel core. This mix gives strong joints where stress is highest. Bolts and hardware are large and easy to reach. So routine checks, like tightening the stem clamp or suspension bolts, stay straightforward.

Up front, the cockpit feels busy at first but logical after a few rides. You have wide bars, brake levers on both sides, the EYE display and throttle on the right, and switches for lights and modes near the center. Cables run outside the bar in tidy wraps. That looks a bit more raw than hidden cables, yet it makes future repairs and upgrades much easier.

Build quality sits above no-name scooters. Welds look clean. The deck plate sits flush with the frame. The folding joint uses a clamp style design instead of a thin latch. So the stem feels solid when locked, with only minor play if you maintain it well.

Many riders add small tweaks over time. For example, a steering damper on the head tube can calm the front at very high speed. Simple riser bars can change the riding position for taller riders. These small changes show that the base scooter is strong enough to support upgrades.

Performance Fundamentals

The first thing most people notice is the launch. In dual motor mode with high power selected, the Dualtron Ultra pulls very hard from low speed. So you must lean forward and hold the bar tight. It feels closer to a small motorbike than a rental scooter.

You can tame it though. Lower power modes, single motor mode, and gentle throttle pulls make the scooter friendlier in the city. Then you can still ride in traffic without feeling like the front wants to jump every time.

Once you reach speed, the Ultra holds it with ease. Long private stretches at 40 to 50 mph feel stable when the road is smooth and you keep your weight centered. The long wheelbase and wide deck help a lot here. Still, knobby tires wander a bit on perfect tarmac, so you need a light touch on the bar.

Hill performance is one of the strongest points. Short steep ramps that basic scooters cannot climb feel almost flat on the Ultra. On longer grades around 7 to 10 percent, it keeps decent speed with a heavier rider. So you can treat hills as just another part of the route, not as obstacles.

Battery, Range & Efficiency

The 60 V, 35 Ah battery gives the Dualtron Ultra a large energy buffer. The official claim is up to about 120 km, or 74 miles, in eco mode with a light rider on smooth ground. That is a best case figure.

Real range is almost always lower. Rider weight, speed, stops, surface, tire pressure, and outside temperature all cut into it. For example, a heavier rider who likes high speed on mixed pavement and light off-road may see closer to half or two thirds of the claim. A lighter rider who cruises calmly on flat bike paths will get more.

Charging needs some planning. One standard charger needs more than 20 hours to fill the pack from empty. Two standard chargers in the dual ports cut that time roughly in half. A strong fast charger can bring charge times down to around 5 or 6 hours from low state. So many owners keep a fast charger for days when they want two long rides.

Good habits help keep the battery healthy. Try not to drain it to zero every ride. Instead, stop when there is still some charge left if you can. For storage longer than a week, leave it somewhere near half charge and in a cool, dry place. These simple steps slow down cell wear over time.

Ride Quality & Comfort

Ride feel on the Dualtron Ultra is a mix of firm control and decent comfort. The big 11 inch pneumatic tires take care of small bumps and gravel. Off-road tread digs into loose dirt and loose stones. So forest tracks and fire roads feel natural for this scooter.

Suspension uses rubber cartridges front and rear. They feel firmer than air or coil shocks at low speed. Then, when you hit a larger bump, they compress in a controlled way and keep the scooter from slamming into its stops. Different cartridge stiffness levels exist. So you can pick softer ones for comfort or stiffer ones for a more sporty feel.

The tall stem and wide bars let you move your weight and steer with your whole body. On rough ground you can bend your knees, lift your heels a bit, and float over small hits. Yet at very high speed on rough surface, some riders feel a hint of stem flex or wobble. A steering damper and correct tire pressures reduce that and make the front calmer.

Long rides feel easier thanks to the roomy deck. You can switch your stance from time to time. So your legs and feet do not tire as fast as on narrow commuter scooters.

Braking & Safety Features

Strong brakes are vital on a scooter this fast. The Dualtron Ultra uses dual mechanical disc brakes with 160 mm rotors. Lever feel is firm, with most of the power coming in after about half the lever travel. So you get some room to modulate before the wheel locks.

Electronic braking adds another layer. When you set higher regen levels, rolling off the throttle or touching the lever makes the motors slow the wheels. This adds drag before the discs need to do all the work. It also cuts pad wear. An ABS style function pulses the electronic brake to reduce skids, which helps on sand or loose gravel.

Stock lighting covers the basics. LED headlights sit near the front of the deck, and rear lights glow at the back with a brake function. At city speeds in dark areas, many riders still add a brighter bar level headlight. Reflective tape on the deck and helmet also helps drivers see you sooner.

Water resistance is usually listed around IP54. So the scooter can handle dust and light splashes. Heavy rain, deep puddles, or washing it with a hose bring more risk. After a wet ride, it is smart to dry the scooter and let it rest in a ventilated space.

Portability & Daily Usability

Portability is one of the clear trade offs. At about 37 kg, the Dualtron Ultra is heavy. You can lift it into a car or up a small set of stairs. Still, doing that many times a day will tire most people.

The stem folds down onto the deck. So the scooter becomes lower and a bit easier to fit in a car trunk or storage room. The footprint stays fairly long and wide though. Tight hallways, crowded bike rooms, and small apartments are not its natural home.

For daily life, you can think of it more like a compact electric motorbike than a last mile scooter. It works best for people with ground level storage, a garage, or a large elevator. The side stand is strong and keeps the scooter stable on flat hard ground. On soft soil, you might want a small plate under the foot to stop it from sinking.

Security also matters. A high value scooter with this power level is a clear target. A strong chain or U-lock through the frame or deck is a must when you leave it outside. Many riders add an alarm or GPS tracker as well. When it is possible, keeping the scooter indoors at night is still the best move.

Dualtron Ultra vs Alternatives

So how does the Dualtron Ultra compare to other scooters out there? You can split the field into three rough groups.

Entry level and mid range commuter scooters sit far below it. They are lighter, cheaper, and easier to carry. They often use a single motor and a small battery. So they work fine for city errands and short daily rides. Once you add steep hills, heavy riders, or long off-road sections, they fall behind quickly.

Mid level performance scooters with dual motors move closer. They bring decent power, higher speed, and stronger frames, yet they still run smaller batteries and lighter parts. They can feel easier to live with in tight cities. They do not match the Dualtron Ultra when you ask for very strong hill climbs, long trail days, or repeated high speed runs.

On the other side, you find newer and bigger models, like the Dualtron Ultra 2, which push power and range even further. If you want to see how that step up looks in a product context, you can check the detailed page for the Dualtron Ultra 2. These models hit even harder but also weigh more and feel bulkier.

Meanwhile, some riders move the other way and choose a powerful yet more city friendly scooter. For example, a model like the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Ultra trades raw power for lower weight and more practical daily use. It still feels strong next to basic rentals yet stays far easier to carry and store.

Who the Dualtron Ultra Is (and Isn’t) For

The Dualtron Ultra suits riders who:

• Want serious off-road power and real high speed on private roads
• Have solid storage at ground level, in a garage, or in a big elevator
• Already know how fast scooters, dirt bikes, or motorcycles feel
• Plan longer trips on trails, fire roads, or open country lanes

It does not suit everyone though. Daily commuters with short rides, many stairs, and tight storage will be happier on lighter scooters. Students who carry a scooter through buildings or on public transport face the same problem. Brand new riders who have never touched a fast scooter may find the Ultra far too strong at first.

Local rules on helmets, speed limits, power, and where you can ride change from place to place. So you should always check the rules for your city or region. A scooter this fast deserves serious gear as well. A full face helmet, gloves, and some body protection make a lot of sense once you see how quickly it can move.

When you respect its power, learn its handling, and keep up with basic care, the Dualtron Ultra becomes a very rewarding machine. It blends big torque, long range, and off-road ability in a package that still fits in a car or small garage, which is exactly why it has such a loyal fan base.
