Fastest Electric Scooters

Speed is one of those ego metrics that everyone checks when it comes to anything with wheels, and electric scooters are no different. Behind range and power, speed and acceleration are the specs that often determine a purchase.

Most electric scooters for adults typically cruise between 10 and 30 mph, so anything above that is considered relatively fast in scooter terms.

However, riding above 30 mph can get pretty sketchy, due to the general structure and design limitations of most scooters. Th...

Electric Scooters for Heavy Adults: Guide to Key Features

Finding an electric scooter when you’re a bigger rider feels like shopping for shoes when you wear size 15. The options shrink fast, and what’s left often feels like an afterthought.

The good news, though, is that there are electric scooters designed with higher weight capacities (some up to 300 lbs or more). But you do need to know what to look for, because riding a scooter that’s struggling under your weight is about as fun as pedaling uphill with flat tires. Trust me, I’ve tested hundreds of...

Long-Range Electric Scooter Buyer’s Guide: Key Features

In this guide, we’ll break down what counts as “long-range,” help you figure out if you need one, and show you what to look for when shopping.

“Long-range” isn’t an official category, but generally it means a scooter that can travel at least around 25–30 miles on a single charge.

Considering most budget and commuter scooters only get 10–20 miles, anything above 30 miles per charge is usually considered long-range. These scooters pack larger batteries and often fall into higher performance cate...

Electric Scooter Buyer’s Guide: How to Choose the Right Model

Buying an electric scooter is difficult at the moment. Manufacturers have seen that there’s demand for electric scooters, and now there are tens of manufacturers popping up every day. Most are just slapping their logo on the same generic frames rolling out of the same factories. I’ve seen the exact same scooter sold as a different brand. Same specs, same frame, but different price ranges depending on how fancy the website looks. Manufacturers also inflate their statistics so they can seem better...

Electric Bikes vs. Electric Scooters: Which Should You Choose?

Let’s start with the answer most people hate. It depends. Your best choice depends on stuff like how far you travel, what roads you use, performance and ride quality you are looking for, where you can store the thing, how much you want to spend, and what you can live with day-to-day.

But just to give you the quick overview, if your daily trips are short, flat, and storage space is tight, a folding electric scooter is hard to beat. They’re also cheaper upfront, easier to take on public transit,...

Electric Scooters for Tall Adults: The Complete Guide

Electric scooters are designed with portability in mind, which generally means compact dimensions. And while this works great for average-height riders, it can create challenges for taller adults who might feel cramped or uncomfortable on standard-sized scooters.

Adult Electric Scooter Buyer’s Guide: How to Choose the Best Model

Lately, buying an electric scooter for adults has been quite the hectic ordeal. And it’s not because it’s hard to find what you’re looking for. No. It’s because the minute you walk into a store or open a few tabs online, you quickly realize that you might not exactly know what you want, or rather, what you need.

Off-Road Electric Scooter Buying Guide: What to Know

Off-roading on an electric scooter might sound a bit crazy at first. Traditionally, e-scooters were built for smooth pavement with small wheels, minimal suspension, and upright riding posture, which is not exactly a recipe for trail riding.

But throw on some bigger wheels, add proper suspension, and upgrade to a beefier motor and battery, and you’ve got yourself a scooter that can handle the dirt, bumps, and hills on off-road adventures. In other words, it is possible to have fun off the beaten...

How Much Does an Electric Scooter Cost

Like most purchases, it depends. Electric scooters run anywhere from $200 for something basic to $7,000 for an ultra-premium model. The real question is figuring out what you actually need.

Based on scooters I’ve owned and what you’ll see most people riding around the city, the range can be narrowed down further to  $400 and $2,200. That’s the sweet spot where you’re likely to find something that works well and lasts.
