Our Take

The Colt Sport DX is a sporty Class 3 road scooter with a performance edge. It reaches 8 mph, so it runs on roads as well as pavements. Four wheels also keep it planted through faster turns. A high-torque motor and tuned controller give it eager pull. In addition, the frame carries riders up to 159 kg.

A single charge covers around 17 miles, so daily runs and longer errands are easy to plan. Moreover, the sleek bodywork gives it a distinctive look on the road. Suspension keeps the ride settled over kerbs and rough tarmac. As a result, it feels lively without punishing you on bumps.

This machine weighs 68 kg without its batteries, and about 90 kg with them. It does not fold, but it does come apart — the heaviest piece is the front section at 29.5 kg. That is a heavy lift, so plan for help or a ramp if it is going in a car boot. Instead, you would move it with a ramp or a tail-lift. For most owners, therefore, it stays local and travels under its own power.

This scooter suits riders who want a spirited, stylish road machine over a plush touring set-up. However, its sporty focus means fewer soft-touch comfort extras than a Celebrity model. Buyers who want maximum comfort or car portability should look elsewhere instead. In short, for a road ride with real character, the Colt Sport DX stands out.

If it’s the Colt Sport DX’s longer range that appeals, a couple of rivals are worth lining up next to it. The CareCo X-Go Astro stops a little sooner at 16 miles and the CareCo X-Go Cosmic is lighter at 48kg, while the CareCo X-Go Pinnacle is a close match on the numbers. Comparing them side by side is a good way to narrow things down.

The Colt Sport DX is made for getting further afield, not just to the corner shop. That said, a proper test drive tells you far more than any spec sheet. Use our Find this Product Near Me search to track down local dealers and compare prices, and have a read of Buyer’s Guide for what to look for.
