Answer
The manufacturer's rated top speed is usually pretty accurate. But the range will vary upon a lot of factors including: rider weight, terrain, hills / inclines, etc. Under ideal conditions you'll get 75-85% of the rated range. Under worse conditions, you could get 50% or less. Here's another good resource for electric scooters: http://www.eco-wheelz.com/catalog/electric-scooters-c-2.php
