Best long-range electric scooter in South Africa (2026)
Which electric scooter goes the furthest on one charge? We compare range, battery and motor across the Inokim range for South African riders.
If you ride long distances — a cross-town commute, weekend trips or rural roads — range is the number that matters most. Here's how to pick the right long-range electric scooter in South Africa.
What actually decides range?
Battery size, measured in watt-hours (Wh), is the biggest factor. Bigger battery, more kilometres. Rider weight, hills, speed, tyre pressure and wind all reduce real-world range, so treat the official figure as a best case.
Up to 110 km range, dual 1000W motors and a carbon frame.
The longest-range Inokim models
INOKIM OXO 2026 Carbon — 57.6V 26Ah LG battery (1536Wh), up to 110 km range, dual 1000W motors (1300W peak each), full hydraulic suspension. R58 500.
Inokim OXO 2000W Dual Motor — the same 1536Wh battery and up to 110 km range, twin 1000W motors, Red Dot Design Award winner. R49 560.
INOKIM OX 48V 1300W and OX Carbon Special Edition — up to 60 km, lighter (26–28 kg) and great for daily commutes. From R42 500.
Which one should you buy?
For the longest rides and hills, choose an OXO. The 2026 Carbon is the flagship; the OXO 2000W gives the same range for less. If you ride under 40 km a day and want something lighter, the OX range is the sweet spot.
