Jetson Scooter Models and Specs: Which One Fits
Jetson’s two adult models with a full published spec sheet, the Knight and the Ryder Pro, both top out at 20 mph, while its entry kids’ scooter, the Joust, is capped at 8.2 mph.
A Jetson scooter is one of roughly a dozen electric and kick scooters the brand sells for kids, teens and adults, priced from $139.99 for the kids’ Joust up to $899.99 for the adult Canyon. Jetson publishes a full spec sheet, top speed, range, motor wattage and rider weight limit, for only two adult models: the Knight Folding and the Ryder Pro, both rated at a 20 mph top speed. Jetson does not manufacture in its own factories; it designs and imports the scooters, then sells mostly through Walmart, Target and DICK’S Sporting Goods rather than shipping directly, and checked in September 2026, every model on Jetson’s own site, ridejetson.com, was listed sold out.
Jetson’s electric scooter lineup: kids, teens and adults
Jetson splits its range by rider age rather than by riding style. The kids’ line, Joust, Omega and Echo X, runs $139.99 to $229.99 and uses a smaller motor and a lower speed cap for riders as young as 8. The Joust, for example, is capped at 8.2 mph, runs a 120W motor on a 24V, 4.5Ah lead-acid battery, and lists a 120 lb maximum rider weight and an 8-and-up minimum age on Jetson’s own product page. The Echo X and Omega add color-changing LED lighting, but Jetson does not publish a full spec sheet for either on the current site. Ember, aimed at tweens and teens, adds a built-in speaker for music and sits at $399.99, again without a published top speed or range.
The adult and teen line, Knight, Ora Pro, Eris, Element Pro, Quest Folding and Canyon, runs $349.99 to $899.99 and swaps the kids’ lead-acid pack for lithium-ion, with folding frames for storage. Only the Knight and the Ryder Pro currently show a full spec sheet, top speed, range, motor wattage and rider weight, on ridejetson.com. The rest list price and features, such as Ora Pro’s two speed settings or Eris’s three, without a published top speed, range or weight limit, so treat any number you see for those models elsewhere as unverified until Jetson posts it directly.
Top speed, range and weight limits, the specs Jetson does publish
| Model | Price | Top speed | Range / run time | Max rider weight | Min. age |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Knight Folding | $599.99 | 20 mph | 15.5 mi | 220 lb | 12+ |
| Ryder Pro | $799.99 | 20 mph | 10 mi | 265 lb | 12+ |
| Joust (kids) | $139.99 | 8.2 mph | 40 min run time | 120 lb | 8+ |
Jetson lists the Knight’s battery as 36V, 5Ah lithium-ion. Multiply volts by amp-hours (36 x 5) and that is a 180Wh pack. Divide that by the claimed 15.5-mile range and the Knight works out to roughly 11.6 Wh per mile, a figure realistic only for a light rider at a moderate speed on flat pavement. The Ryder Pro’s 36V, 6Ah pack works out to 216Wh (36 x 6), and 216 divided by its claimed 10 miles is about 21.6 Wh per mile, nearly double the Knight’s implied energy use per mile, so the Ryder Pro is roughly half as efficient at the same 20 mph top speed. That gap is normal across the scooter market: a hill, a headwind, a heavier rider or riding at full throttle instead of eco mode all cut range, so a manufacturer’s mile figure is a best-case ceiling, not a guarantee. Use our amp-hours to watt-hours calculator to run the same math on any scooter or e-bike battery listed in volts and amp-hours.
Where to actually buy a Jetson scooter
Jetson sells almost entirely through mass retailers rather than shipping from its own warehouse. Checked in September 2026, Walmart, Target and DICK’S Sporting Goods all listed current Jetson scooter inventory, while ridejetson.com showed every model, kids and adult alike, as sold out. That split is typical for Jetson: the brand refreshes model names and colorways often, so a scooter unavailable on the direct site may still be in stock at a big-box retailer, or the reverse. Confirm the maximum rider weight and minimum age on the specific listing before buying, since Jetson reuses similar names, Ryder and Ryder Pro, Eris and Eris Pro, Element and Element Pro, for different price and spec tiers.
How a Jetson scooter compares with alternatives
A Jetson scooter competes mainly on price, not on range or power. A rider who wants the same $350 to $600 budget with a longer real-world range has options. The Hiboy S2 Nova costs $315 and carries a 324 Wh battery, nearly double the Knight’s 180Wh, though its top speed is slightly lower at 19 mph. The GoTrax G3 Pro, at $550, matches the Knight’s 20 mph top speed on a 280.8 Wh pack and folds down to 39 lb. For a commute that regularly runs past the Ryder Pro’s claimed 10 miles, the Varla Falcon Urban Commuting, at $599, packs a 499.2 Wh battery, more than double the Ryder Pro’s 216Wh, on a similar 500W-class motor.
None of that makes a Jetson scooter a poor choice for a short commute or a first scooter; it means the calculus changes once a rider needs more than a few miles or a steady hill in the route. On the kids’ side, a rider who has outgrown the Joust’s 8.2 mph cap but is not ready for an adult model has a specific alternative built for that gap: the Hiboy S2 Lite for Teens tops out at 13 mph on a 180 Wh battery with a 21.8 lb frame light enough for a young teen to carry.

Frequently asked questions
How fast does a Jetson scooter go?
Jetson’s fastest published adult models, the Knight and the Ryder Pro, top out at 20 mph according to Jetson’s own spec pages. The kids’ Joust is capped at 8.2 mph, and Jetson does not publish a top speed for several models, including the Omega, Echo X and Eris, on its current site.
How much does a Jetson scooter cost?
Checked September 2026, Jetson’s own site listed scooters from $139.99, the Joust, for kids, to $899.99, the Canyon, an adult model, with most adult folding models priced between $349.99 and $649.99.
Where can I buy a Jetson scooter?
Walmart, Target and DICK’S Sporting Goods all carried Jetson scooters as of September 2026. Jetson’s own site, ridejetson.com, listed every scooter model as sold out at the same check, so a big-box retailer is currently the more reliable source for stock.
How long does a Jetson scooter take to charge?
Jetson’s adult models charge in 3 to 5 hours; the Knight is rated up to 3 hours and the Ryder Pro up to 5 hours. The kids’ Joust, with a smaller lead-acid battery, is rated up to 8 hours. A charger’s output amps at a given voltage sets that charge time; our watts-to-amps calculator converts between the two if a replacement charger lists watts instead of amps.
What age is a Jetson scooter for?
Jetson’s kids’ scooters, like the Joust, start at age 8, and the two adult folding models with a published spec sheet, the Knight and the Ryder Pro, list a minimum age of 12. Jetson does not publish a minimum age for every model in the current lineup, so check the individual listing before buying for a specific age group.
