With the trials for Electric Scooters in full swing, we believe that, as a nation, we are steering in a positive direction - one that prioritises sustainable transport and the use of all electric vehicles.
Considering this, many of us have thought about the impact of our own carbon footprint and find the commute to work, school and out to socialise agonising - constantly having to plot the prime time to leave in the hopes of avoiding the ever building swarm of traffic. This is why there is a need to discover alternatives sources of travel, ones that aren't as costly, offer more efficiency and reduce our impact on the environment.
Having said that, Electric travel provides much more than that. When we optimise our time we have the ability to do more with our day, whether that be to connect with friends and family, enjoy a luxurious lie in or explore new places - the options are endless.
So, you have clicked on this blog, we assume as a beginner in the hopes of receiving guidance on how to select the electric scooter that is right for you. Before we begin, should you not find the information you are looking for in this blog, then please consult our Buyers Guide: Electric Scooter Buyers Guide | Important Information | Electric Travels
Fortunately, there are many Electric Scooters out there that are suitable candidates for beginner riders, which means as a consumer you have the ability to be selective and choose an Electric Scooter that accommodates your needs.
But what questions should be asked? Well, here are a few recommendations below:
- What will I be using the Electric Scooter for?
- What conditions will I be riding in? Terrain?
- Do I live in a climate where it rains often? Perhaps I should consider an Electric Scooter with a higher IP rating.
- What distance will I be covering with the Electric Scooter?
- Do I need to consider max load? What are weight limitations for some Electric Scooters?
If you have various needs and identify that many of these factors are important or significant, then first consider what your top priority is. From there observe the list of features those scooters have and if it doesn't match with your requirements then search for other models that have the features you are after.
If you don't have any demands or requirements, then we suggest opting for the best overall / higher end models.
