10,000 watts of raw electric power, 68 mph top speed, and a battery that refuses to quit. The Mars XTR isn’t your average electric scooter. It borrows design cues like the dual-stem locking system from the Wolf King GTR – a self-proclaimed beast on wheels. The Mars XTR also packs a telelever suspension system directly inspired by the ones found on BMW Motorrad two-wheelers. What you eventually get is an e-scooter that rightfully blurs the line between scooter and light motorcycle.
I’ve tested dozens of electric scooters over the years, from nimble last-mile solutions to supposedly “high-performance” models. The Mars XTR makes them all look like children’s toys. At 136.4 pounds, this behemoth demands respect before you even twist the throttle. The dual motors (4,000W continuous, peaking at 10,000W) deliver acceleration that is best termed as ‘ludicrous’.

Let’s talk numbers, because they’re wild in the best way possible. The tested top speed of 65.4 mph (105.2km/h) puts this scooter firmly in highway territory. That’s not a typo – while the EU curbs e-scooters at a paltry 25km/h, this beast exceeds that limit by more than a magnitude of 4x. You could theoretically keep pace with cars on the interstate, though I wouldn’t recommend it unless you enjoy the unique thrill of terror-induced adrenaline. The 72V 45Ah Samsung battery delivers a real-world range of 56.8 miles. Don’t buy this if all you’re going to use it for is a trip to the grocery store and back.
The build quality matches the absurd performance specs. The frame borrows design cues from the Wolf King GTR with its dual-stem locking mechanism, a necessity when you’re hitting speeds that would make a road cyclist weep with envy. Available in military camo or stealth black, the Mars XTR looks like something Batman would ride if he decided Gotham’s streets were too congested for the Batmobile.
Nutt hydraulic disc brakes front and rear provide the stopping power you absolutely need when hurling yourself through space at motorcycle speeds. The suspension system absorbs urban terrain without complaint, though at 65 mph, even small potholes become existential threats. The wide deck gives you plenty of stance options, crucial when you’re managing the kind of torque that threatens to leave you behind when you hit the throttle.
What fascinates me most about the Mars XTR is how it completely redefines what we consider an electric scooter. While companies like Bird and Lime optimize for rental convenience, and mid-range manufacturers focus on commuter-friendly features, Teewing skipped all that and went straight to “what if we made something to terrify the competition?”
The result is glorious overkill. The Mars XTR can support riders up to 440 pounds, which means you could theoretically ride with a passenger, though I suspect that would violate several laws of physics and definitely some traffic regulations. The 8-hour charging time feels reasonable given the massive 3240Wh battery capacity. For context, that’s roughly 6-8 times the battery capacity of a typical commuter scooter.
Riding the Mars XTR fundamentally changes your relationship with urban transportation. Suddenly, 10-mile trips across town aren’t just feasible; they’re trivial. Hills that would leave other scooters wheezing and crawling become minor inconveniences. The power delivery is immediate and brutal, with enough torque to lift the front wheel if you’re not careful. This isn’t a scooter that forgives mistakes; it’s one that rewards skill and respect.
The price tag of around $3,399 means the Mars XTR isn’t for the average e-scooter buyer. It costs about the same as a decent used motorcycle while delivering comparable performance with zero emissions. For tech enthusiasts and early adopters who want to experience the bleeding edge of personal electric vehicles, this price represents remarkable value. If you’re still waiting on the Tesla Roadster, you might as well pull your deposit and buy the Mars XTR instead.
Is it practical? Absolutely not. You won’t be carrying this up to your fifth-floor walkup or tucking it under your desk at work. The Mars XTR demands garage space, a sturdy lock, and probably some explaining to concerned neighbors who will assume you’re harboring military equipment. But practicality isn’t the point here. Should you buy one? That depends entirely on your appetite for speed, your respect for physics, and your relationship with self-preservation. The Mars XTR isn’t for everyone, and that’s precisely what makes it special.
