Product Information

There are comfort, practicality and safety issues here so you’ll often be better off walking the thing home if you run out of power unexpectedly. Can the police confiscate your electric scooter? How you plan to use your scooter will go a long way to determining the best electric scooter for your needs. If you're using it as a "last-mile" vehicle — getting you from your home to the bus or train, and then from the bus or train to your office — you'll want to prioritize an electric scooter that's small and light. Look for a scooter that weighs between 20 and 30 pounds. You cannot use an e-scooter if you have an overseas provisional licence, learner permit or equivalent. Insurance Thanks to its dual 250-watt motors, the Unagi Model One Voyager powers up hills with aplomb, zipping along twice as fast as other scooters with just a single motor. Using both motors (you can opt to use just one) causes the battery life to drop significantly lower than the scooter's advertised 20-mile range.

It has been announced that e-scooters are set to become road legal in the upcoming year. The news was foreshadowed by Transport Secretary Grant Shapps towards the end of April when he was asked by a fellow member of the Commons Transport Committee, Ben Bradshaw, when this change would happen. Shapps rather unambiguously replied, “I shall announce it on 10 May.” It isn't a slouch in performance either. A solid ride touting a 1000W motor, it definitely has a lot of power for more than just urban commutes. That motor allows it to haul its rider up a hill faster than other e-scooters. One thoughtful addition I love is the dedicated driving mode button that makes changing modes during rides a less stressful affair, I found, since my thumb need not to move too far away from the throttle. Thanks to its 1,000-Watt motor, the Cargo has some real getup — it was real fun cruising around our neighborhood — but the chain drive was a bit noisy compared to direct-drive motors. And, its size and weight — 75 pounds — makes it best suited for those who have a garage where they can store it. Compared to the sleek lines elsewhere, the Micro Merlin looks decidedly practical. It’s not ugly, but it definitely looks more like a push scooter with power than the future of urban transportation. It’s an aesthetic you might like, and there is method to the clunky madness, because, and again, this echoes the push scooter ranges available, you can buy spare parts for the Merlin, even book it in for a service. Oddly, given the antiquated aesthetic, it could actually be the most future proof design available.Although electric scooters are getting a bad rap because of irresponsible riders as well as the lax road rules that govern their use on public roads, they're actually excellent commuting alternatives.Plus, they'll help you limit your carbon footprint as well as minimize air pollution and road congestion. They will also help you save money by reducing your fuel usage. Added Gloucestershire (Cheltenham and Gloucester) and North and West Northamptonshire (Northampton, Kettering, Corby and Wellingborough) to trial areas.
