But in order to find the best electric scooter specifically for you, it is worth considering various aspects.
User experience and method of use
It is important to think about the user's skills and previous experience. For a beginner, a stable model with a wider deck is suitable, providing a sense of security. Experienced electric scooter users may prefer smaller and lighter models that are convenient to carry. The weight limit of the electric scooter must also be considered to find a model that fits the user's weight.
For many, it is important that the electric scooter is foldable, allowing it to be stored more conveniently at home or transported more easily when necessary. If long distances or gravel roads are involved, electric scooters with larger wheel diameters should be preferred, as they offer better riding comfort.
If it is a child's first electric scooter, it is important to choose a size suitable for their age and a sufficiently low platform.
Electric scooter battery and range
In the case of an electric scooter, battery capacity is one of the most important indicators. The more powerful the battery, the longer the distance that can be covered. The battery must provide a sufficient range so that the user can make necessary trips without constant need for charging.
Electric scooter batteries most commonly use lithium-ion technology, which charges relatively quickly – usually in 3-6 hours. Some electric scooters have removable batteries, allowing for charging at home without bringing the entire scooter inside. In colder seasons, it must be noted that battery performance decreases and the range can be up to 30% shorter.
With proper maintenance habits, a high-quality lithium-ion battery should last 500-1000 charging cycles or 2-4 years, while maintaining good performance and range. To extend the life of an electric scooter battery, there are a few simple but important rules:
- Charge the battery at room temperature (10-25°C).
- Avoid letting the battery run out completely – start charging at a 20-30% battery level. It is best to keep the charge in the 20-80% range.
- Avoid extreme temperatures – if possible, keep the electric scooter indoors in winter and do not leave it in direct sunlight in summer.
- Always use the original charger for the electric scooter battery.
If you notice unusual phenomena such as battery swelling, overheating, or abnormal charging, check the battery and replace it with a new one if necessary.
Electric scooter speed and power
In Estonia, the speed limit for electric scooters is 25 km/h and the motor power is up to 1000 W. Scooters with more powerful motors are also on sale, such as Yume electric scooters, which have a top speed of 70-80 km/h. Electric scooters with a motor power greater than 1000 W are permitted to be ridden only on territories closed to public traffic.
The speed of electric scooters designed for children should be lower, generally up to 15 km/h, which ensures safer use.
Electric scooter weight and size
The weight of the scooter plays an important role, especially if it needs to be lifted or carried frequently. The weight of electric scooters is generally 10–20 kg, with more powerful models weighing as much as 20–40 kg.
If the electric scooter needs to be carried up and down stairs, lighter models should be preferred. If the scooter will always be kept outdoors or does not require constant transport, the weight of the electric scooter is not such an important criterion.
Electric scooter sizes vary, and the selection includes models with both smaller and larger wheel diameters, such as 8.5”, 9”, 10”, or 11”. Larger wheels and a wider platform provide better stability and riding comfort, especially on uneven surfaces and over longer distances, while smaller and lighter models are better suited for maneuvering and carrying in urban environments. A dual-motor electric scooter – such as the ES-1 iEnryd – is preferred when riding frequently on slippery or uneven terrain, as it offers better grip and stability. It is also a good choice if a higher load capacity is important.
Electric scooter price
The price range for electric scooters is wide and depends largely on features, battery life, and motor power. Electric scooter prices start from 200-300 euros, but more expensive models can cost 2000 euros or more.
When buying an electric scooter, it is worth thinking about the long-term perspective and, if possible, making a decision based primarily on your expectations, because a correctly chosen high-quality scooter will serve you for years.
Need for additional features
The selection of electric scooters includes many models that have various additional features or the possibility to install additional accessories to make the riding experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
In the selection of electric scooters, you can find the Kugoo Kukirin C1 Pro and Iscooter i12 models with seats, which are well-suited for those who prefer to ride while sitting.
For many, it is important that the electric scooter has a bag or luggage storage option so that personal items can be safely stored during the ride. In this case, electric scooter models that come with a bag may be suitable.
