Our verdict

Lots of scooter for $140 with a useful speed limiter — but quality is hit-and-miss, so check it thoroughly when it arrives.

The MAXSHOT PR is aimed at ages 10+: 350 W motor, three modes up to 19 mph, 12-mile range, dual suspension, 8.5" solid tires, front EABS + rear drum brakes, UL 2272 and an app that lets parents limit top speed.

Ideal for

Teens (10+) who've outgrown 10 mph kids' scooters, with a parent setting the speed limit.

Skip it if

Younger children, or buyers who want proven quality control.

In-depth review

What it's like to own

The PR sits between kids' scooters and adult commuters. A 350 W motor gives three modes — 7.5, 11 and 19 mph — and the app lets parents cap the speed, check the battery and change modes. Suspension at both ends softens the 8.5-inch solid tires, and it's UL 2272 certified.

It sells in big numbers (900+ last month) and at $140 it's the cheapest electric scooter in our catalog. Parents like the three speeds for different skill levels, the sturdy feel and the easy fold; one family praised MAXSHOT's support after a loose faceplate and a failed power button.

The flip side is consistency: a quarter of ratings are 1-star, citing missing screws, batteries that don't hold charge and a unit that only ran while plugged in. Inspect it on arrival, set a speed limit in the app, and keep the return window in mind.

Pros

  • Cheapest electric scooter in our catalog
  • UL 2272 certified
  • App speed limit for parents
  • Dual suspension
  • 22 lb, folds in seconds

Cons

  • 25% 1-star ratings (battery and assembly issues)
  • Short 12-mile range
  • 19 mph is fast for younger kids — use the limiter
  • Drum rear brake
