Electric scooters are becoming more popular for their convenience and eco-friendly features. With a variety of models available in 2023, it's important to consider speed, battery life, and insurance coverage before choosing the best electric scooter for you.

The Types of Electric Scooters
Electric scooters come in different shapes and sizes, from 16” wheels to 24” wheels. The most popular type of electric scooter is the portable foldable electric scooter with 16” wheels. Then there are e-scooters with bigger tires with 18” to 24” wheels and higher speeds. These types of electric scooters usually require more maintenance and tend to be heavier and more expensive.

Benefits and Disadvantages of Riding an Electric Scooter
Riding an electric scooter is a great way to get around town quickly and easily. They are also considered eco-friendly and require no gasoline or pollutants to power them. However, they do have their downsides. For example, 25 mph electric scooters typically have a shorter range than bikes or mopeds, they may be illegal to ride in some parts of the city and require more maintenance than regular bikes. Additionally, riders must wear protective gear such as helmets, knee pads and elbow pads for safety reasons.

Battery Life of Electric Scooters
Electric scooters typically have a battery life of up to 20 miles, depending on the model and its features. Some models may be able to travel further distances but this greatly depends on the brake system, terrain and rider's weight. Generally speaking, the heavier the rider, the shorter the range of the scooter. Looking for an electric scooter with a longer battery life? Invest in one with a powerful motor and high-capacity lithium-ion batteries so you can ride comfortably for longer distances.
