MetaMoov Scooter
MetaMoov scooter delivers the specs serious riders actually want — dual motors pushing 3000W to 6000W, speeds up to 58 MPH, and ranges that handle week-long commutes on a single charge. Every scooter ships UL 2272 certified with hydraulic brakes and US-based technical support. You get performance that competes with Kaabo and Dualtron at prices that don’t require financing.
Dual Motors That Actually Deliver
The ZU06 runs a single 1200W motor hitting 35 MPH — faster than city traffic, manageable for newer riders. The ZO08 pushes 3000W through dual motors, reaching 45 MPH and climbing 45° inclines. The ZO01 Plus doubles that to 6000W, topping out at 58 MPH with 50° hill climbing. All speeds tested with 180 lb rider on flat terrain, full battery.
50-60 Miles Per Charge
The ZU06 delivers up to 50 miles on its 52V/20Ah battery. The ZO08 steps up to 60V/28Ah for 50-56 miles. The ZO01 Plus runs a massive 60V/35Ah pushing 60 miles. Both performance models include dual charging ports and two chargers—full charge in 5 hours instead of 10. Range drops 30-40% for heavier riders on hilly terrain.
UL 2272 Certified. Hydraulic Brakes
Every MetaMoov carries UL 2272 certification — the standard NYC now requires for all e-scooters. The ZO08 and ZO01 Plus run ZOOM hydraulic disc brakes front and rear for serious stopping power at 45+ MPH. The ZU06 uses dual mechanical discs with electronic ABS. All models include comprehensive lighting; the ZU06 adds turn signals with audible alerts.
US-Based Support. Domestic Parts. Real Warranty.
MetaMoov ships from US warehouses through Amazon. Technical support responds within 24 hours. Replacement tires, tubes, and parts are available on Amazon — no waiting weeks for overseas shipping. Warranty runs 3-12 months depending on component. Not white-glove dealer service, but real support with real parts availability.
PRODUCT COLLECTION GRID
MetaMoov ZU06 — Green Black (Full Kit)
The complete commuter package. This variant includes the removable padded seat for sit-or-stand flexibility plus a front head bag for carrying essentials. NFC smart unlock means tap-to-start convenience — no fumbling for keys. The 8-light safety system with turn signals and audible alerts keeps you visible in traffic. Folds in 3 seconds flat, fits in a car trunk or under an office desk. Best for daily commuters who want the full accessory kit out of the box.
MetaMoov ZU06 — Black Green (Base Model)
Same ZU06 performance without the seat and head bag — $30 less if you prefer standing or already own accessories. You still get NFC smart unlock, the 8-light safety system, 4-arm dual shock absorption, and the 3-second folding mechanism. Ideal for riders who want the entry-level MetaMoov without paying for extras they won’t use. The 390 lb weight capacity handles heavier riders better than most scooters in this price range.
MetaMoov ZO08 — All Terrain with Seat
The sweet spot of the lineup. Dual 1500W motors deliver genuine 45 MPH speed and 45° hill climbing while staying under $1,000. The 60V/28Ah battery pushes 50-56 miles — more than enough for serious commutes and weekend adventures. ZOOM hydraulic brakes provide motorcycle-level stopping power. Dual charging ports and two included chargers cut recharge time to 5 hours. At 80 lbs it’s the lightest performance model, with quick-fold design for trunk storage. Best for enthusiasts who want real dual-motor capability without the $1,500+ price tag.
MetaMoov ZO01 Plus with Seat & Damper
The flagship. Dual 3000W motors push 6000W total, hitting 58 MPH and climbing 50° grades. The 490 lb weight capacity is among the highest available — built for heavier riders who’ve been told other scooters “technically support” their weight but perform poorly. The steering damper eliminates high-speed wobble. C-Type full suspension front and rear absorbs everything trails throw at you. Black Orange colorway maximizes visibility. This is near-motorcycle territory. Full protective gear is mandatory, not optional. Best for experienced riders who want maximum performance or riders over 250 lbs who need a scooter that actually works at their weight.
MetaMoov ZO01 Plus — Seat Only
Same 6000W flagship platform as the Black Orange — identical motors, battery, suspension, and 490 lb capacity. The difference: this variant ships without the steering damper. At speeds under 45 MPH, most riders won’t notice. If you plan to regularly push 50+ MPH on rough terrain, consider the Black Orange with damper included, or purchase the damper separately from MetaMoov accessories. The stealth black colorway hides trail dirt better than orange. Best for riders who want flagship performance but don’t need high-speed stabilization out of the box.
Accessories
Replacement parts ship from the same US warehouse as the scooters — no hunting through overseas suppliers or waiting six weeks for delivery. Tires, tubes, seats, and steering dampers all available on Amazon. This is what separates MetaMoov from budget brands that leave you stranded when something wears out. Keep your scooter running without the headache.

All speed and range figures based on 180 lb rider, flat terrain, full battery charge, moderate ambient temperature. Heavier riders, hilly terrain, aggressive throttle use, cold weather, and battery age will reduce performance. Plan for 20-40% reduction under real-world mixed conditions.
Three Scooters. Three Different Riders. Find Yours.
You need reliable transportation for a 5-15 mile daily commute. Speed matters less than range and practicality. You’ll store the scooter at work or bring it inside, so weight and folding matter. You’re not chasing thrills — you’re replacing rideshares and parking headaches. Your scooter: ZU06. The 50-mile range handles a full week of 10-mile round trips without mid-week charging. 35 MPH keeps pace with city traffic. The 3-second fold fits under desks or in car trunks. NFC unlock means quick starts without fumbling. Grab the Green Black variant if you want the seat for longer rides, or save $30 with the base model if you prefer standing.

You want real speed and all-terrain capability without spending $2,000. Weekend trail rides, exploring new routes, maybe some light off-roading. You’ve outgrown entry-level scooters but don’t need the absolute maximum specs. Value matters — you want enthusiast-grade performance at a reasonable price. Your scooter: ZO08. Dual 1500W motors hit 45 MPH and climb 45° grades. The 60V/28Ah battery delivers 50-56 miles of mixed riding. ZOOM hydraulic brakes stop fast from high speed. At 80 lbs it’s manageable for lifting into trucks or SUVs. Dual charging ports mean 5-hour recharges instead of all-day waits. You’re getting specs that compete with $1,500+ scooters for under a grand.
You weigh over 220 lbs and you’re tired of scooters that “technically” support your weight but feel sluggish and drain battery fast. Or you want the absolute maximum performance available — 58 MPH, 60 miles, no compromises. You understand this is serious equipment requiring full motorcycle gear. Your scooter: ZO01 Plus. The 490 lb weight capacity isn’t just a spec — it’s built for riders who need it. Dual 3000W motors maintain speed and hill climbing even at higher rider weights. The 60V/35Ah battery compensates for increased power draw. C-Type full suspension and 11″ fat tires handle rough terrain without jarring your spine. The steering damper eliminates wobble at 50+ MPH. Pick Black Orange for visibility or Black for stealth.
You’re curious about electric scooters but not ready to drop $1,000+ on a first purchase. You want something capable enough to actually be useful — not a toy that maxes out at 15 MPH. Quality and safety certification matter. You can upgrade later if you get hooked. Your scooter: ZU06 Black Green. Lowest price point with legitimate performance: 35 MPH, 50-mile range, 390 lb capacity. UL 2272 certified so it meets safety standards (and apartment building requirements). Dual disc brakes with EABS provide real stopping power. NFC unlock adds convenience. Skip the seat kit and save for accessories you actually want. This is a genuine commuter scooter, not a starter toy.
Real Feedback From MetaMoov Owners
“Finally found a dual-motor scooter that doesn’t cost $2,000. My ZO08 consistently hits 42-43 MPH on flat ground — I’m 195 lbs so slightly under the advertised 45, which is exactly what I expected. The hydraulic brakes inspire real confidence at speed. Spent months on r/ElectricScooters researching before pulling the trigger. No regrets.”
Marcus T., Scooter Enthusiast
“The ZU06 replaced my second car for my 8-mile commute to the office. Three months in, still getting 40+ miles per charge even through hilly sections of my route. The folding mechanism actually works — I keep it under my desk. NFC unlock is surprisingly convenient when you’re juggling coffee and a laptop bag.”
Rachel K., Software Developer
“At 285 lbs, most scooters feel sluggish and drain battery fast. The ZO01 Plus is different. Still climbs the hill to my neighborhood without slowing down, and I’m getting around 45 miles per charge — not the advertised 60, but realistic for my weight. The 490 lb capacity isn’t just marketing. This thing actually works for bigger riders.”
Derek M., Construction Manager
“Bought the ZO08 specifically for trail riding. The 10-inch fat tires handle gravel and packed dirt without issues. Suspension soaks up roots and ruts better than my buddy’s Hiboy. We loaded both scooters into my truck bed last weekend — the quick-fold design made it easy. Already planning the next trip.”
James W., Outdoor Recreation
“Wasn’t sure about spending $600+ on my first electric scooter, but the ZU06 convinced me. 35 MPH feels fast enough for city riding, and I’ve done 200+ miles without any mechanical issues. The UL certification mattered because my apartment building in Brooklyn requires it. Glad I didn’t cheap out on a $300 Amazon scooter.”
Nina P., Graduate Student
“Replaced Uber for my daily trips across Austin. The ZO08’s 50-mile range means I charge twice a week instead of daily. Dual chargers cut my recharge time significantly — plug in after dinner, ready by morning. The seat is comfortable for longer rides. My car stays parked most weekdays now.”
Carlos R., Account Manager

MetaMoov isn’t trying to be a premium brand — it’s delivering premium-tier performance without the markup. The numbers speak for themselves.
Advertised Specs vs. What You’ll Actually Get
Every electric scooter manufacturer tests specs under ideal conditions: light rider, flat terrain, full battery, moderate temperature, constant speed. That’s not how you’ll ride. Here’s what to realistically expect based on your weight and riding conditions.
Speed Expectations by Rider Weight
| Rider Weight | ZU06 (35 MPH rated) | ZO08 (45 MPH rated) | ZO01 Plus (58 MPH rated) |
| 150 lbs | 35 MPH | 45+ MPH | 58+ MPH |
| 180 lbs | 33-35 MPH | 43-45 MPH | 55-58 MPH |
| 220 lbs | 30-32 MPH | 38-42 MPH | 50-55 MPH |
| 250 lbs | 27-30 MPH | 35-38 MPH | 48-52 MPH |
| 280 lbs | 25-28 MPH | 32-36 MPH | 45-50 MPH |
Range Expectations by Conditions
| Condition | ZU06 (50 mi rated) | ZO08 (56 mi rated) | ZO01 Plus (60 mi rated) |
| Optimal (180 lbs, flat, moderate speed) | 45-50 miles | 50-56 miles | 55-60 miles |
| Typical (200 lbs, some hills, mixed speed) | 35-40 miles | 40-48 miles | 45-52 miles |
| Demanding (250 lbs, hilly, aggressive) | 25-32 miles | 30-38 miles | 35-42 miles |
| Cold weather (add 20-30% reduction) | 20-35 miles | 25-40 miles | 30-45 miles |
Rider weight affects everything. A 250 lb rider puts roughly 40% more load on the motors than a 180 lb rider. The motors work harder, draw more current, and drain the battery faster. Speed drops because the same power moves more mass. Hill climbing ability decreases proportionally.
Terrain compounds the effect. A flat commute at steady speed maximizes range. Stop-and-go city riding with frequent acceleration cuts it. Hills drain batteries fast — climbing a 15% grade can use 3-4x the power of flat riding. Mix hills with heavier rider weight and you might see 50% of advertised range.
Temperature matters too. Lithium batteries perform best between 60-80°F. Cold weather reduces capacity and power output. Riders in northern climates should expect 20-30% range reduction in winter months. Store and charge batteries indoors when possible.
The takeaway: if you’re a 180 lb rider on flat terrain, advertised specs are achievable. If you’re 250 lbs riding hills in Chicago winter, plan for roughly half the advertised range and 15-20% lower top speed. Neither situation is a defect — it’s physics.
Built for Riders Over 250 lbs
Most electric scooters claim 220-330 lb weight limits. Technically accurate, maybe. But a 280 lb rider on a “330 lb capacity” scooter often gets sluggish acceleration, reduced hill climbing, and battery drain that cuts range in half. The scooter supports the weight. It doesn’t perform well at that weight.
The ZO01 Plus approaches this differently. The 490 lb capacity comes from dual 3000W motors (6000W total) paired with a 60V/35Ah battery — significantly more power and energy storage than typical 330 lb scooters. A 280 lb rider still has 210 lbs of headroom. The motors aren’t straining at their limits. The battery isn’t constantly depleted by overworked motors.
Real-world results for heavier riders: expect 45-50 MPH top speed at 280 lbs (vs. 58 MPH at 180 lbs) and 35-45 miles of range (vs. 60 miles optimal). That’s still faster and farther than most scooters perform for lighter riders. The 11″ tubeless tires and C-Type full suspension handle the additional load without bottoming out. The wide deck provides stable footing.
If you’re over 250 lbs and tired of scooters that technically work but practically disappoint, the ZO01 Plus is built for your reality.
Hydraulic vs. Mechanical Brakes
Stopping a 200 lb rider on an 80 lb scooter traveling 45 MPH requires serious braking force. The physics are unforgiving. Kinetic energy increases with the square of velocity — doubling your speed quadruples the energy your brakes must dissipate. A scooter at 45 MPH carries roughly 4x the stopping energy of the same scooter at 22 MPH.
Mechanical disc brakes use a cable to pull brake pads against the rotor. They work fine at lower speeds. But cables stretch over time, reducing braking force. The mechanical advantage is limited by cable friction. Riders need significant hand strength to achieve maximum braking at high speeds. In emergency situations, this delay and effort can mean the difference between stopping safely and not stopping at all.
Hydraulic disc brakes use fluid pressure instead of cables. Fluid doesn’t stretch or compress — force transfers directly from lever to caliper. The hydraulic system multiplies input force, so light lever pressure produces strong braking. Response is immediate. Stopping distance shortens. Rider fatigue decreases on long rides with frequent braking.
The ZO08 and ZO01 Plus both use ZOOM hydraulic disc brakes front and rear. This is the same technology found on motorcycles and high-end mountain bikes. At 45-58 MPH, hydraulic brakes aren’t a luxury feature — they’re a safety requirement. The ZU06 uses mechanical disc brakes with electronic ABS (EABS), which is appropriate for its 35 MPH top speed but wouldn’t be adequate for the faster models.
One more consideration: hydraulic brakes are largely self-adjusting and require less maintenance than mechanical systems. Mechanical brakes need periodic cable tension adjustment as cables stretch. Hydraulic systems maintain consistent performance until pads wear down, then simply need pad replacement. For high-mileage riders, this translates to less fiddling and more riding.
Common Questions About MetaMoov Electric Scooters
What is the realistic range for a 220 lb rider?
Expect 30-40 miles on the ZU06, 38-45 miles on the ZO08, and 42-50 miles on the ZO01 Plus. Advertised ranges assume a 180 lb rider on flat terrain at moderate speed. Heavier riders, hills, cold weather, and aggressive acceleration reduce range by 20-40%. Plan routes using conservative estimates.
Are MetaMoov scooters street legal in my state?
Electric scooter laws vary by state and municipality. Most states permit scooters under 750W on bike paths; higher-wattage models like the ZO08 and ZO01 Plus may require registration or restrict riding to private property. Check your local Department of Motor Vehicles regulations before purchasing.
Does MetaMoov offer replacement parts?
Yes. MetaMoov-US sells replacement tires, inner tubes, steering dampers, and accessories directly on Amazon. Parts ship from US warehouses. The ZO08 and ZO01 Plus use split motors designed for easy tire and tube replacement by owners. Common wear items remain available for purchase.
What does UL 2272 certification mean?
UL 2272 is a safety standard from Underwriters Laboratories covering electrical and fire safety for personal electric vehicles. Certified scooters pass rigorous battery, charger, and electrical system testing. New York City now requires UL 2272 certification for all e-scooters sold or rented. All MetaMoov models are certified.
How long does the battery last before needing replacement?
Lithium-ion batteries typically retain 70-80% capacity after 500-800 charge cycles — roughly 2-4 years of regular use. Proper care extends lifespan: avoid full discharges, store at 40-60% charge, charge indoors at moderate temperatures. Battery replacement costs vary; contact MetaMoov support for current pricing.
Can the ZO01 Plus actually handle a 300 lb rider?
Yes. The 490 lb weight capacity comes from 6000W dual motors and a 2,100Wh battery — significantly more power than typical 330 lb scooters. A 300 lb rider will see reduced top speed (approximately 45-48 MPH) and range (approximately 38-45 miles) compared to lighter riders, but performance remains strong.
What safety gear do you recommend for high-speed riding?
Full-face motorcycle helmet, armored jacket, knee and elbow pads, and motorcycle gloves at minimum for speeds above 30 MPH. The ZO01 Plus reaches 58 MPH — treat it like a motorcycle. Closed-toe shoes, high-visibility clothing, and eye protection are essential. Protective gear is mandatory, not optional.
How do dual charging ports work?
The ZO08 and ZO01 Plus include two chargers and two charging ports. Connect both simultaneously to charge in approximately 5 hours instead of 10. Using a single charger still works but takes twice as long. Both methods are safe — the smart BMS prevents overcharging regardless of charging configuration.
What’s the difference between the two ZO01 Plus color options?
Performance is identical. Both variants include 6000W dual motors, 60-mile range, 490 lb capacity, detachable seat, and steering damper. Black Orange offers higher visibility for safety-conscious riders. Black provides a stealth aesthetic and shows less dirt from off-road riding. Choose based on personal preference.
Do MetaMoov scooters work in rain?
The scooters carry IP54 water resistance ratings — protected against dust and water splashes. Light rain and wet roads are acceptable. Deep puddles, heavy rain, and submersion are not recommended. Water damage from improper use may void warranty. Dry the scooter after wet rides and avoid charging while wet.
How does the NFC smart unlock work on the ZU06?
The ZU06 includes two NFC cards. Tap a card against the dashboard sensor to unlock and power on the scooter — no keys required. Lost cards can be deactivated by contacting MetaMoov support. The system prevents unauthorized use and adds convenience for riders juggling items during their commute.
UL 2272 Certification – What It Is and Why It Matters
UL 2272 is a safety standard developed by Underwriters Laboratories specifically for personal electric mobility devices. The certification tests electrical systems, batteries, chargers, and overall construction for fire and electrical hazards. A UL 2272 certified scooter has passed testing for overcharging, short circuits, temperature extremes, vibration, and impact resistance.
Why does this matter? Lithium-ion battery fires in e-scooters and e-bikes have caused deaths and destroyed property. Many of these incidents involved uncertified devices with substandard batteries or charging systems. The Consumer Product Safety Commission now urges manufacturers to comply with UL standards. New York City passed legislation in 2023 requiring UL certification for all e-scooters sold or rented in the city. Many apartment buildings now prohibit non-certified devices.
The certification process isn’t simple. Manufacturers submit devices to UL-accredited laboratories for extensive testing. Batteries undergo thermal cycling, overcharge, and abuse testing. Electrical systems are evaluated for short-circuit protection and insulation integrity. Chargers are tested for safety shutoff and voltage regulation. Manufacturing facilities receive audits to ensure ongoing compliance. Products can lose certification if quality control lapses.
All five MetaMoov models — both ZU06 variants, the ZO08, and both ZO01 Plus variants — carry UL 2272 certification. This isn’t just regulatory compliance. It’s verification that the battery won’t catch fire during normal use, the charger won’t overcharge and damage the battery, and the electrical system meets rigorous safety standards.
For buyers, the practical implication is simple: UL 2272 certified scooters are demonstrably safer than uncertified alternatives, meet legal requirements in jurisdictions like NYC and Singapore, and satisfy apartment building policies that increasingly ban non-certified e-mobility devices. The certification mark appears on compliant products and can be verified through UL’s online database.
Your First 48 Hours With a MetaMoov
Your MetaMoov arrives 95% assembled. The remaining 5% takes about 15 minutes and requires only the included tool kit. Unfold the stem, secure the locking mechanism, attach the handlebars if separate, and install the seat if your model includes one. The user manual walks through each step with diagrams. Don’t skip the manual — it contains model-specific information about your scooter’s features and controls.
First Charge Protocol
Charge the battery fully before your first ride. This isn’t optional. Lithium-ion batteries ship at partial charge for safety during transport. A full initial charge calibrates the battery management system and ensures accurate range readings on the display. The ZU06 takes 8-10 hours with its single charger. The ZO08 and ZO01 Plus charge in approximately 5 hours using both included chargers simultaneously, or 10 hours with a single charger. Charge indoors at room temperature — not in a garage during freezing weather or direct sunlight.
Pre-Ride Checklist
Before your first ride, check tire pressure. Pneumatic tires lose air during shipping and storage. The recommended PSI is printed on the tire sidewall — typically 40-50 PSI for these models. Under-inflated tires reduce range, affect handling, and increase puncture risk. Check that all folding mechanisms are fully locked. Test brakes at walking speed before riding. Verify lights function. Familiarize yourself with the display, speed modes, and controls while stationary.
Break-In Recommendations
The first 50 miles are a break-in period. Keep speeds moderate — avoid sustained full throttle. This allows motor brushings, brake pads, and suspension components to seat properly. You might notice slight changes in braking feel and suspension stiffness during this period. After break-in, re-check tire pressure and inspect all fasteners for tightness. Some bolts may need minor retightening after initial vibration and settling.
Safety Gear Requirements
This isn’t a suggestion. At 35-58 MPH, you’re traveling at motorcycle speeds on a vehicle with smaller wheels and less stability than a motorcycle. Minimum gear: DOT-certified helmet (full-face recommended above 30 MPH), closed-toe shoes, gloves, and eye protection. For ZO08 and ZO01 Plus riders regularly exceeding 35 MPH: armored jacket, knee pads, and elbow pads. High-visibility clothing for riding in traffic. Your scooter has lights. You should too.
NFC Smart Unlock
The ZU06 includes NFC (Near Field Communication) smart unlock — a feature typically found on scooters costing twice as much. Instead of fumbling for keys or entering codes, you tap an included NFC card against the dashboard sensor. The scooter powers on instantly. Tap again to lock when you’re done. Simple as unlocking your phone.
What’s
Included
Each ZU06 ships with two NFC cards. Keep one in your wallet, leave one at home as backup. The cards are credit-card sized and durable enough for daily pocket carry. No batteries required — they’re passive RFID tags powered by the scooter’s reader during the tap.
Security Considerations
The NFC system prevents casual unauthorized use. Someone can’t just hop on and ride away — they need a paired card. If a card is lost or stolen, contact MetaMoov support to deactivate it and pair a replacement. The system isn’t foolproof against determined theft (no system is), but it adds meaningful friction compared to key-start or no-security scooters.
Practical Benefits
Commuters appreciate NFC unlock most. Picture arriving at work with coffee in one hand, laptop bag in the other, wearing gloves in winter. Fishing for keys is annoying. Tapping a card against the dash takes one second. The ZU06 targets daily commuters specifically—this feature reflects that focus. The ZO08 and ZO01 Plus don’t include NFC, likely because their target riders prioritize different features.
About MetaMoov
MetaMoov exists because high-performance electric scooters shouldn’t require high-performance budgets. The math never made sense: similar motors, similar batteries, similar frames — yet price tags ranging from $900 to $2,500 depending on the logo stamped on the deck. Brand prestige accounts for a lot of that gap. Engineering and materials account for less than you’d think.
The scooters are manufactured by Shenzhen ZonD Technology Co., Ltd. — known in the industry as ZonDoo. They’ve been building electric mobility devices since 2016, supplying OEM and ODM products to brands worldwide. MetaMoov is their direct-to-consumer brand for the US market, cutting out distributor markups and dealer margins. Same factory. Same engineering. Different price structure.
That’s the tagline, and it’s not just marketing copy. Electric scooters represent practical freedom — skipping traffic, avoiding parking, reducing car dependence. The ZU06 keeps commuters moving through daily routines. The ZO08 keeps enthusiasts moving on trails and back roads. The ZO01 Plus keeps heavy-duty riders moving when other scooters can’t handle their weight. Different riders, same principle.
MetaMoov isn’t trying to be Dualtron or Kaabo. Those are established brands with loyal followings and premium positioning. MetaMoov targets riders who research specs, compare prices, and refuse to pay brand premiums for equivalent performance. If you want boutique brand cachet and white-glove dealer service, pay for it elsewhere. If you want 3000W dual motors, hydraulic brakes, and 50+ mile range under $1,000 — we should talk.
Products ship from US warehouses through Amazon. Technical support operates during US business hours with 24-hour response targets. Replacement parts are stocked domestically and available on Amazon. This isn’t the same as walking into a local dealer for hands-on service. It’s also not the nightmare scenario of waiting months for parts from overseas with no English-speaking support. Reasonable expectations, reasonably met.
