Fast Answer for Busy Riders β‘ (TL;DR)
If you want the best all-rounder for fast commuting, weekend blasts and serious value, the MUKUTA 10 Plus is the overall winner here. It delivers fierce performance, excellent suspension, strong safety features and a feature list that embarrasses many pricier rivals, all at a noticeably lower price than the Dualtron City.
The DUALTRON City, meanwhile, is the king of comfort and stability on terrible roads - think "magic carpet over potholes" - and its removable battery is a huge quality-of-life upgrade for apartment dwellers. Choose the City if your streets are war zones, you crave maximum stability and you're happy to pay extra (and haul extra weight) for it.
If you want a thrilling, well-sorted performance scooter that still makes financial sense, go MUKUTA. If you want a rolling armoured sofa on 15-inch wheels and don't care what it costs, go Dualtron City.
Stick around - the real differences only reveal themselves once we dig into how these two actually ride in the wild.
There's a particular type of rider who looks at a "normal" e-scooter and thinks: "Cute. Now where's the real thing?" This comparison is for that rider. The Mukuta 10 Plus and Dualtron City both live firmly in the "serious machine" category - big power, big batteries, big weights, and equally big grins when you open the throttle.
I've spent enough kilometres on both that my knees now instinctively flinch when I see cobblestones, and my neighbours have stopped asking if I've bought "another weird bike". The Mukuta 10 Plus is the hooligan commuter: compact(ish), brutal on acceleration, surprisingly refined, and aggressively good value. The Dualtron City is the massive-wheeled cruiser: absurdly stable, wonderfully forgiving on bombed-out streets, and as subtle as a small moped.
One suits riders who want maximum fun per euro; the other suits riders who want to glide over the city like they own it. Let's break down which one belongs in your garage.
Who Are These For, and Why Compare Them?
On paper, these two shouldn't be enemies: one rolls on "normal" 10-inch tyres, the other on comically huge 15-inch hoops. But they sit in the same broad category: high-performance dual-motor scooters with serious batteries, aimed at riders who are done with rental toys and ready for a long-term, high-speed partner in crime.
Price-wise, the Mukuta sits in the upper mid-range enthusiast bracket. The Dualtron City is firmly premium - think another several hundred euros on top. Both will outrun city traffic, both can handle long commutes, both demand respect (and proper protective gear), and neither will be welcome on your third-floor walk-up staircase after the second day.
Why compare them? Because many riders are exactly torn between these profiles: traditional dual-motor 10-inch performance scooter versus ultra-stable big-wheel cruiser. Same voltage class, similar power figures, overlapping ranges - but very different answers to the question "What makes a great daily scooter?"
Design & Build Quality
Pick up (or attempt to pick up) the Mukuta 10 Plus and it feels like a modern evolution of the classic performance scooter formula: stout frame, chunky swingarms, a purposeful "tail-fin" stem that looks like it's stolen from a stealth jet. The finish is surprisingly refined for its segment: tidy welds, neat cable routing, a clean deck with grippy rubber instead of cheap tape, and integrated lighting that looks like it was actually designed in from day one, not bolted on at the last minute.
The Dualtron City, by contrast, looks and feels like industrial equipment. Aviation-grade alloy, big exposed hardware, tall ground clearance, and those gigantic wheels that visually dominate everything. It's less "sports scooter", more "urban assault vehicle". The removable battery bay at the rear is cleverly executed and feels solid; slide the pack in and out and the mechanism locks with a reassuring clunk. The classic Dualtron clamp system on the stem is overbuilt and confidence-inspiring once dialled in, but it's also fiddly compared with the Mukuta's simpler, quicker clamp.
In hand, the Mukuta feels slightly more cohesive and contemporary - like someone took the proven VSETT/Zero formula and sanded off the rough edges. The Dualtron City feels bomb-proof and engineered to survive years of abuse, but also a bit old-school in places: more bolts to check, more mass everywhere, more "tank" than "sports car". If you like that mechanical, purposeful aesthetic, you'll love it; if you want something that looks sleek and modern out of the box, the Mukuta has the edge.
Ride Comfort & Handling
This is where the character difference hits you within the first 500 metres.
The Mukuta 10 Plus runs on chunky 10-inch pneumatics combined with a stout multi-spring suspension at both ends. On battered city tarmac, expansion joints, and even mild off-road, it feels plush and controlled. The deck sits at a reasonable height, so you feel connected to the ground; you can carve corners, load the chassis with your bodyweight and really "ride" it. It's playful - you can hop off curbs, thread through gaps, flick it around at low speed without feeling like you're man-handling a small motorcycle.
The Dualtron City plays a different game. Those 15-inch tyres don't just roll over cracks - they erase them. Cobblestones that have your legs bracing on the Mukuta become a distant rumble on the City; potholes that you'd normally dance around are things you sometimes barely bother to avoid. Combined with Dualtron's rubber cartridge suspension, it delivers an almost eerie glide, especially on long, broken boulevards. You stand much higher, which gives a fantastic commanding view, but also makes it feel more like you're piloting a small moped than a nimble scooter.
Handling reflects that: the Mukuta feels more agile and "alive" under you, eager to change direction, excellent for weaving through dense bike-lane traffic. The City is calmer and slower to respond; once leaned into a line, it tracks like it's on rails. Lovely for sweeping curves and straight-line blasting, less ideal if your daily ride involves constant tight manoeuvres, narrow ramps or weaving through pedestrians.
Performance
Neither of these machines is short on shove. The Mukuta's dual motors deliver that classic "snap" when you punch the throttle - the kind of punch where your first unprepared launch ends with a surprised laugh and a mental note to lean back more. It absolutely embarrasses cars off the lights up to city speeds and still has plenty in reserve when the road opens up. The throttle is on the sensitive side out of the box; in the higher modes the first millimetres of trigger travel already mean "we're doing this". Fortunately you can tame that with settings if you value smoothness over theatrics.
The Dualtron City's acceleration feels a little different. With motors in the same general power class but much larger wheels, the initial hit is slightly more measured, more like a strong motorbike surge than a twitchy dragster launch. It still hauls - don't be fooled - but it does so with a more mature, linear feel. The upside is control: it's easier to feed in just the amount of power you want when creeping around pedestrians or cornering on questionable surfaces.
Top-speed sensation is also telling. On the Mukuta, higher speeds feel exciting and a bit naughty; the chassis is stable, but you're very aware you're on a scooter. On the City, the same speeds feel almost relaxed. Those big wheels kill the usual high-speed nervousness, and the wobble that plagues some smaller-wheeled beasts is noticeably absent. On long bridges or open boulevards, the City is the one that makes you think, "I could cruise like this all day."
Hill-climbing is a draw in practice: both chew through nasty climbs with little drama, even with heavier riders. The Mukuta tends to feel a bit more eager off the line on steep inclines; the City feels like it just locks in and grinds up without slowing. Braking, both deliver serious stopping performance via hydraulic systems; the Mukuta's feel is strong and predictable, the City adds Minimotors' electronic ABS, which works but can feel a little "machine-gunny" at the lever. Personally, I slightly prefer the Mukuta's simpler, more organic brake feel, but the City's extra safety net on slippery city surfaces has its merits.
Battery & Range
Range claims from both factories live in the usual fantasy land of lightweight riders tip-toeing along at bicycle pace. Out in the real world, with an adult rider and a healthy mix of full-throttle joy and sensible cruising, both comfortably cover proper daily-commute distances without anxiety.
The Mukuta offers battery options in the same voltage as the City but with capacities that, in practice, translate to very usable real-world range. Ride it hard - dual motor, spirited cruising, some hills - and you're still looking at a distance that will satisfy most commuters for a couple of days before you even think about the charger. Nurse it in eco mode and you'll be surprised how far it goes; it's a genuinely efficient setup for its performance level.
The Dualtron City packs a high-quality LG pack with a slightly larger capacity on paper. In the wild, though, the big wheels and heavier chassis mean energy consumption isn't magically lower. Expect broadly similar real-world distance if you ride them in a comparable way, with the City maybe giving you a mild edge if you're disciplined with modes and speed. The optional extra battery trick is interesting in theory - swap packs and you've essentially doubled your range - but that second pack is heavy and expensive, so it's a niche use case.
Charging behaviour differs more. Both offer dual ports, so you can cut charging times with a second or faster charger. The Mukuta's pack size and pricing make a fast-charger upgrade feel like a sensible splurge. The City's standard charging time with the included brick is glacial - it almost forces you into buying a fast charger on top of an already expensive scooter. The City claws back points by letting you bring the battery indoors easily, which for many urban riders is worth its weight in gold.
Portability & Practicality
Let's be clear: neither of these is "portable" in the sense that a rental scooter is portable. They live in the "light vehicle" category. But there are degrees of pain.
The Mukuta, at well over thirty kilos, is absolutely not something you want to shoulder up several floors every day - unless your gym membership has long since lapsed and you need a new challenge. That said, its overall footprint is still recognisably "scooter": reasonable length, 10-inch wheels, a fold that actually becomes semi-compact. Getting it into the boot of a normal car is doable. Wrestling it into a lift or through a narrow hallway is mildly annoying, not life-threatening.
The Dualtron City is another story. Those 15-inch wheels make everything larger: length when folded, height, and the general impression that you've just parked a trimmed-down motorbike in your hallway. The weight tips deep into "two-person job" territory if there are stairs involved. As a last-mile companion on metro or bus, it's a hard no. As a door-to-door car replacement, parked in a garage or bike room, it's brilliant.
On the practicality front, though, the City lands a major punch with that removable battery. If your building's bike room or garage has no power socket, the ability to leave the muddy frame downstairs and carry only the battery to your flat is life-changing. The Mukuta's NFC lock and more compact fold are its counter-arguments: park it, tap your card, done - no faffing with apps, and it fits into more everyday spaces.
Safety
Safety on powerful scooters is a mix of hardware and how they make you ride. The Mukuta 10 Plus ticks the obvious boxes: proper hydraulic brakes, a stiff chassis, good high-speed stability, and a surprisingly thorough lighting package including turn signals. The stem design isn't just a styling flourish; it gives the front end a planted feel at speed, and the integrated indicators mean you can keep both hands on the bars while signalling - a non-trivial safety upgrade on something this fast.
The Dualtron City, however, plays the ace card of physics. Big wheels are simply more forgiving. The number of "that pothole would have killed me on my old scooter" stories from City owners is staggering. The gyroscopic stability of those tyres makes riding one-handed for hand signals feel far less sketchy, and the tall riding position helps you read traffic further ahead. Its hydraulic brakes with electronic ABS add another layer of security on rainy commutes, even if the ABS feel won't be to everyone's taste.
Lighting is solid on both. The Mukuta's integrated deck and stem lighting plus signals make you visible and communicative. The City borrows Dualtron's signature stem light show and adds turn indicators and deck lights; good for being seen, though, as with most scooters, a higher-mounted aftermarket headlight is wise if you ride dark country lanes. Overall, the Mukuta feels like a modern, safety-focused performance scooter; the Dualtron City feels like a stability machine that just happens to be very fast.

Price & Value
This is where things get brutally simple. The Mukuta 10 Plus delivers dual-motor performance, serious suspension, hydraulic brakes, strong range, good safety features and modern niceties like NFC and indicators - all for a price that undercuts the Dualtron City by a very noticeable margin. It's in that sweet spot where you repeatedly double-check the spec sheet and the price tag to see if someone misprinted something.
The Dualtron City charges a premium, and you're paying for three things: the big-wheel chassis, the removable LG battery system, and the Dualtron name with its ecosystem of parts and upgrades. If those matter to you, the price can be justified - especially if it's genuinely replacing car journeys. But from a cold, value-for-money perspective, the Mukuta gives you more scooter for each euro you hand over.
Service & Parts Availability
Dualtron has the advantage of age and scale. Minimotors has been doing this longer than most; parts, upgrades and tribal knowledge are widely available across Europe. Need a replacement controller, new suspension cartridges, or upgraded clamps? Chances are your local PEV shop has them in stock or can order them quickly. The owner communities are huge and very active, which also makes troubleshooting easier.
Mukuta is newer as a badge, but not as naΓ―ve as that might suggest. It comes from the same manufacturing lineage as several well-known scooters, and parts - motors, controllers, swingarms - are not exotic unicorns. European distributors are picking up the brand fast, and spares are becoming easier to source. It doesn't yet have the sprawling ecosystem of Dualtron, but in daily reality you're not buying an unserviceable oddity either.
If having a mature, global aftermarket is your priority, the City wins this one. If you're fine with a growing but slightly younger ecosystem in exchange for better value, the Mukuta is already in a comfortable place.

Final Verdict - Which Should You Choose?
If we strip everything back, the Mukuta 10 Plus is the better all-round proposition for most riders. It delivers proper "big scooter" performance, impressive comfort, confident safety gear and modern features - yet remains just compact enough, just light enough and just affordable enough to make sense as a daily machine rather than an extravagant toy. It feels like a scooter designed by people who have spent serious time listening to what real riders actually want.
The Dualtron City is not outclassed - it's simply more specialised. If your daily routes are peppered with monstrous potholes, tram tracks, and broken cobbles; if you have secure parking but no plug and the idea of popping the battery out each evening makes your life easier; if you value stability and comfort over agility and price - then the City might well be your dream machine. It's the one that makes bad infrastructure almost irrelevant.
For everyone else, especially riders juggling budget, performance and practicality, the Mukuta 10 Plus is the scooter that feels like it gives more than it asks. It's the one I'd confidently recommend to a friend who wants a serious upgrade and intends to ride hard, often, and with a big stupid grin on their face.
