Many gasoline scooter manufacturers have come and gone in the last 10 years. It has become a very competitive industry; especially since the influx of cheaper Chinese brand clones entering the US market. That being said, the quality gap between US-made and Chinese-made scooters still skews heavily in favor of American-brand scooters. It’s no surprise that 10 of the top 10 gas scooters are all US-made scooters.
1. EVO 2X power board
The Evo 2X is a third generation petrol scooter from Puzey Design. Evo brand powerboards are the highest quality products on the market and the fastest scooters ever built.

Until now, the range of applications for power boards and scooters has been limited by low-powered, low-revving engines. Now, with the 2-speed gearbox, you can have the power when starting or climbing a hill in first gear and have top speed in second gear. Steep hill climbs for riders over 250 pounds are no problem for the Evo 2X.
Another technological advancement found on the Evo 2X is the patented Cam-Link suspension. It is a true suspension system that offers a smooth ride, while offering excellent resistance when landing after jumps. Once you try it, you’ll simply see that there is nothing like it. This suspension is the strongest and most robust front suspension in the industry today.

The Engine: The Active 50 is not only an impressive power plant, it’s also one of the most reliable engines available. A properly maintained engine running on 91+ octane fuel with a proper mixture (1:40 – 1:50) will last the life of the scooter.
The Deck – The Evo 2X comes with one of the strongest decks available for a scooter. Although it is aluminum, it is incredibly scratch resistant and will never bend or crack.

The Evo 2 is a high performance two speed scooter released as a cheaper version of the Evo 2X. Unlike its big brother, the Evo 2 has no front suspension or a scrub board to protect the area under the bed. Instead of the impressive Active 50, the Evo 2 sports the smoother Active 40 engine.
Since the Evo 2 has the two-speed transmission of the Evo 2X, it still performs impressively despite the lack of performance in the Active 40 engine. If the Evo 2 is used solely for hauling, the Active 40 will provide plenty of power. Along with the two-speed transmission, but if any real speed is desired, an engine upgrade must be the first step.

The Go-Ped GSR46R is one of the most powerful street scooters released by Go-Ped. It is meant to be a street-only scooter, as it lacks any form of frame-based suspension. When the GSR46R was released, Go-Ped marketed it as the fastest production scooter in the world. Although the claim is debatable, it very well could have been true due to the high speeds possible with the big R460 engine.
