Scooter sharing has boosted the general public’s awareness of micro-mobility and driven the growth of electric scooters. The soaring e-scooter market has led to a large number of different e-scooter categories. Adult commuting electric scooters are the most common type of scooter available on the market. They tend to be more practical than other scooter types and are usually sold at a reasonable price.
Realizing this trend, TurboAnt has introduced a line of urban commuting electric scooters, including the most popular X7 Pro and X7 Max models, both of which are known for their removable batteries and great value for money.
TurboAnt currently offers 5 different e-scooter models, from entry-level to advanced. All of them are commuting e-scooters featuring good portability, decent range, and traffic-avoiding speed, and all at an attractive price point. As the top-selling model, the TurboAnt X7 Pro is highly recommended. It’s designed with a detachable battery for fast and convenient battery charging and recharging, making it a superior choice for efficient and sustainable urban mobility. For its part, the X7 Max is just as good as the X7 Pro, but with some additional upgrades including a longer range, wider deck, and a battery lock. Keep reading to find which one would be the best fit for you.

Part 1. TurboAnt X7 Pro Review
TurboAnt X7 Pro – Speed & Range
The X7 Pro is a nippy device, allowing you to effortlessly glide along at 20 mph, which is fast enough to get wherever you are going, all while not being dangerously fast especially when the street is crowded. You get about 30 miles out of one charge, so you can not only easily whizz to work at top speed, but also run a bunch of errands like going grocery shopping. Once you’re done, just pop the battery out and charge it using a wall socket.
TurboAnt X7 Pro – Riding Features
Riding the X7 Pro is a delight, thanks to its many rider-friendly features. With the goal of lifting the commuting pressure from commuters, the X7 Pro has incorporated a detachable battery in its design. It allows for fast recharge and makes storage much easier. What’s more, the foldable stem is quite sturdy, with a locking latch for dependable portability. Thanks to this, folding up and taking your scooter onto the train or metro only takes a few seconds! The scooter is propelled by a 350 W motor and a 10 Ah battery. You will easily be able to feel the power kicking in, just by pressing down on the responsive throttle. The best part? The scooter’s 275 lb load-carrying capacity means that it will take a lot to slow you down, even as you climb slopes of up to 15%.

The scooter also comes with a bright 3 W headlight and a taillight that blinks when you brake to enhance night safety. On the top bar, you will find the handlebars with rubber grips, a left brake lever, a clear LED display, a soft rubber throttle, and a bell. The TurboAnt X7 Pro comes with large 10-inch pneumatic tires, whose good cushioning and great traction are key factors in determining the overall quality of your ride. The scooter’s overall appearance is also a plus, with a sleek shape and a classic black aluminum coating.

TurboAnt X7 Max – Speed & Range
At 20 mph, the X7 Max has the same top speed as the X7 Pro. However, TurboAnt slightly upgrade to the maximum range and increased it to 32 miles with a full battery. In other words, you get to do more with this longer range and all at the same exciting speed.
TurboAnt X7 Max – Riding Features
The TurboAnt X7 Max electric scooter is the TurboAnt X7 Pro’s latest upgrade. Compared with its processor, the X7 Max is somewhat larger and is considered one of the best budget electric scooters with a swappable battery feature. Featuring the same motor and battery as the X7 Pro, the X7 Max adopts some improvements to extend its mileage. It has great foldability thanks to its seamless folding design, requiring no special skills to fold and unfold. Although it has the same loadbearing capacity of 275 lb as the X7 Pro, the X7 Max’s widened deck allows for a steadier and more comfortable riding stance, even on hilly streets of up to 15%.
TurboAnt X7 Max – Details
The X7 Max has a 3 W LED headlight positioned below the cockpit, as well as a red taillight that comes on whenever you apply the brakes. I personally like the battery lock, it helps avoid theft when you have to leave your scooter outside unattended.
