If you've been scouring the web and social media for answers on which is the best electric scooter to buy, you've probably realised by now that there are thousands of choices for you to pick from. In this handy guide, we are going to give you a few pointers to help you decide which is the best electric scooter for you.
The Type of Electric Scooter You Want
We suggest the first thing you do is make a list of criteria for what you want from your scooter and, importantly, your budget. (See List Below for Ideas)Using this list will help narrow down your options to find the perfect E scooter for your needs. The first thing to do when compiling your list of criteria is to work out your ideal budget. It is worth remembering that most online retailers now offer Buy Now Pay Later electric scooters with companies like Klarna, PayPal, and Clearpay/Afterpay. Bear this in mind when choosing your budget, as something that is currently out of your budget may become a viable option when considering splitting the cost over three monthly payments.
Next, you need to decide if you are looking for an Adult Electric Scooter or a Kids Electric Scooter. Kids scooters tend to be very similar, and your options are limited, whereas Adult Electric Scooters present new options. Range, for example, is something you should consider if you are purchasing for commuting purposes. In the example of a fixed distance journey every day, you need to make sure that the scooter's quoted range is in excess of your requirement because you don't want to get caught short running out of battery halfway through your journey. Speed is also something to consider. If your journey is long and has inclines along the way, then speed would be a factor to consider, and lower-powered slow scooters are not going to make for a fun journey up steep inclines.
Next, consider whether you need an on-road or off-road scooter. If your journey or where you plan on riding includes trails or off-road tracks, then you may require a scooter that is suitable. If not, then you may have another question: do I want a light electric scooter? Perhaps part of your journey includes taking the scooter on public transport or you want to be able to take the scooter with you in the car, and portability becomes a serious quality to consider.
