When choosing an electric scooter there are several important considerations:
- Range – Make sure your scooter can accommodate the distance of your commute because you don’t want to buy a model that will leave you stranded.
- Speed – Most riders are fine with a normal speed around 15 MPH but if you’re looking for performance and a more recreational speed consider a faster scooter.
- Weight – If you will be carrying your scooter in between destinations you want something you can carry and lift into an overhead compartment for example.
- Charging Time – So you can be ready to go when you need to ride.
- Durability – For light daily commutes on pavement most models will perform well. But if your path includes rocky roads or dirt trails you’ll want a more rugged model that can take the vibration.
- Wheels – Depending on where you’ll ride, decide if normal city wheels will work or if you need something bigger for off road situations.
