They’re designed to be sleeker and more lightweight, a lot of them having a folding capability to make them easier to take on a bus or a train. Electricity, its pretty damn cool.

How fast can electric scooters go?

I've tested many e-scooters myself, from the best budget e-scootersand the best electric scooters for students to the more premium ones. And, I gathered the best models in this guide, considering things like performance, weight and ease of use, build, and features like app support and anti-theft protection. While private electric scooters are legal in most US states, rules tend to differ from state to state. While some states such as California have embraced them, making them a common sight on roads, other states have different legislations – including strict speed limits, helmets below a certain age or only street use – to ensure safety. Some states even require you to have a driving licence to ride an e-scooter. Are electric scooters legal in Europe?

It provides a great range of 28 miles per charge, meaning that you can go at least a few trips without charging the scooter, and its 14.2kg weight makes it much easier to carry than any of Pure Air’s offerings. The 8.5in pneumatic tyres provide a firm grip on any surface and we love its cruise control feature, which lets you take your hand off the accelerator throttle from time to time. The only downside is that you cannot ride this e-scooter in wet weather and it only accommodates a maximum rider weight of 100kg, neither of which should be a problem for most people. The Eagle One makes this list because Varla found a way to build a quality electric scooter with similar specs to many currently on the market, while keeping the price competitive. And it even comes with some cool accessories. Speed: Most electric scooters will top out at around 15 to 18 miles per hour on a flat road. That's plenty fast for most uses, but there are scooters that will zip along at speeds in excess of 25 MPH.

Riding it is a pleasant, smooth experience due to the powerful dual-braking system and the ease with which the 10in tyres move over both paved and rougher surfaces, such as cut grass. There’s also a splashproof IPX4 rating and effective front and rear lights to help you ride safely in wet, dark conditions. The rear disc brake worked great regardless of the rider's weight. A rear brake light illuminates when engaged and there's an LED headlight with a reflector beneath it. The LED display on the scooter is clear and visible in direct sunlight. It provides information on current speed, battery level and total distance traveled. The scooter is rear-wheel drive; when riding, most of the weight is in the rear and this helps maintain traction. It also makes the front lighter when lifting on or off a curb. Pneumatic tires - Pneumatic tires are essentially just rubber tires filled with air. They deliver better stability, suspension, climbing, and traction than solid tires. When I started riding, I let some air pressure out of the tire so it wouldn't accelerate too fast. This makes turning a tad more difficult, so once you get the hang of it, you'll want to top off. I was zipping around in about 30 minutes.
