Best electric scooters of 2025

Dimensions and power supply

Shopping scooters may require some compromise. For example, while larger scooters may be ideal for long-distance travel, managing scooters over 90 pounds in a walking apartment is not fun. Conversely, while last-mile scooters are lighter and more portable, they often lack the range and speed of larger sizes. They usually slow down steep slopes and usually lack any shock absorbers, making them unsuitable for rough terrain.

Maximum speed

Consider a scooter that is slow to save battery? While you may not need to reach 50 mph, faster scooters usually have larger batteries. A scooter that rides a 50 mph at about 25 mph may only cost once a week. By comparison, a scooter with a top speed of 25 mph, you can run continuously at full speed and may require a daily charge.

scope

The travel range provided by the manufacturer is based on a rider of a certain weight (usually 180 pounds) to travel on a horizontally smooth surface at a set speed (usually 15 mph). Terrain, wind and heavy loads all play a role in how far they go on one charge. Plus, like a car, the faster you go, the faster the battery of the electric scooter will be.

Protect yourself

Whether you choose a scooter or a bike, always remember to wear a helmet. When I was a teenager in New York, I only wore a helmet. A friend’s suggestion changed my point: people were not texting or driving at the time. We all need to pay attention to ourselves. Happy riding and safe there.
