What to look out for when buying your first e-scooter
When purchasing your first e-scooter, you’re bound to have questions. You want to ensure you’re getting value for money and an e-scooter that is the right fit for your needs, so we’ve broken down the crucial things to consider.
Distance
When talking about distance, we’re referring to the range an e-scooter can go without running out of charge.
The amount of mileage you will require is certainly something you need to consider. If you plan on travelling a short distance, our 9.5 miles collection should suffice, while those looking to go further afar need to keep in mind the amount of charge their e-scooter will have or opt for a higher mileage range.
If you want to go on longer journeys, and avoid the fear of your e-scooter running flat, make sure to check out our range of e-scooters with a higher mileage, including the 54 miles and 68 miles range. These e-scooters are equipped with powerful motors, fit to keep you scooting for hours.
