5TH WHEEL W16S Electric Scooter vs Phantomgogo A2 Electric Scooter

The Phantomgogo A2 is the better pick for most riders: a larger 36V 10.4Ah battery gives up to 15 miles of range, it weighs about 26.5 lbs, and it carries an IP54 water-resistance rating the W16S does not list. The 5TH WHEEL W16S answers with a higher 265 lb load limit, turn signals, a rear shock, app control and a faster 4-hour charge. Both run 8.5-inch solid tires and top out near 18 mph, so the choice comes down to range and weather rating versus payload and safety lights.

• Choose the 5TH WHEEL W16S if you are a heavier rider, want turn signals and app control, or value a rear shock and quicker charging.
• Choose the Phantomgogo A2 if you want more range, a lighter scooter to carry, and an IP54 rating for wet commutes.
