Electric scooters have been around for quite a while but it’s only recently that their designs have matured enough for electric scooters to be considered a serious form of transportation.
Electric scooters are eco-friendly and they pack away small and are ideal for transporting or for stowing rather than paying for expensive parking in a big city and they’re better for the planet too. What more could you want?
The best electric scooters use a lot less carbon than cars do and while they use a bit more carbon to produce than a gasoline vehicle, they swiftly pay it back when they’re on the road.
A French study also found that they were a net benefit to the environment. So, keep that in mind as you peruse our 10 best electric scooter brands!
You’re not just investing in transport but you’re also investing in the future of the planet when you opt for these best electric scooters.
GoTrax XR Ultra Electric Scooter
With a max speed of about 15 mph this isn’t going to win any prizes for speed but it’s a low-cost mid-range scooter with plenty of value for money to be had.
That makes it the best electric scooter in its class. Don't expect huge battery life but you'll get a smooth ride when compared to other electric scooters.
Though it will only carry a rider weight of up to 220 lbs. which may be a deal breaker for some. It can be best to test electric scooters before you buy them if you're worried about a particular constraint, there are a lot of other scooters to choose from.
You can find the GoTrax XR Ultra Electric Scooter online.
Swagtron High Speed Electric Scooter
This is a surprisingly affordable option in our best electric scooter lineup, and it has a rider weight capacity of, a fairly hefty, maximum weight capacity of 320 lbs.
This means you don’t need to be “child-sized” to get the most out of its performance and top speed. It also offers a comfortable ride and a choice of riding modes which isn't always the case in the electric scooter world.
It also has a removable battery which means you can use a spare to increase its already impressive maximum range.
With a top speed of 18 mph, you can run around town very effectively on the Swagtron. However, we would note that it’s not the best hill climber of the bunch.
It has a reasonably impressive range though and it's great to get some fresh air as you flick on the cruise control and enjoy the riding mode you've picked.
You can find Swagtron High Speed Electric Scooters online.
Glion Dolly Foldable Lightweight Electric Scooter for Adults
This totally folding mechanism design is perfect for those who have to catch a bus or a train to work before needing to cover some distance on either end between the office and home.
Most importantly, it’s light enough to carry when you need to move it around. This means it's not one of the highest performance models but it offers a truly unique experience compared to a traditional kick scooter.
You can find the Glion Dolly Foldable Lightweight Adult Electric Scooter online. We think it's the best electric scooter in its class.
Razor E100 Kid’s Electric Scooter
If you want your kids to get the benefit of an e-scooter, this nifty model is what they need.
This Razor has a low top speed of 10 miles per hour but it still has no problem getting up hills.
The controls are super simple and it’s very easy to stay out of trouble on it.
You can find the Razor E100 Kid’s Electric Scooter online.
Razor Pocket Mod Miniature Euro Electric Scooter – Vapor
If you want something a bit different then this scooter looks like a Vespa bike-style scooter and yes, you can sit down on it.
It runs at a top speed of 15 mph and only takes a rider weight of up to 170 lbs. but at this price?
That’s an absolute steal and if your kids don’t like to stand they’ll love it.
You can find the Razor Pocket Mod Miniature Euro Electric Scooter – Vapor online.
Nanrobot D4+ 2.0
This isn’t a cheap option, but it is a solid and much faster scooter than most. It's one of the best electric scooters if you have a need for speed.
The D4+ 2.0 is a luxury scooter with the motor power to go 40+ miles on a single charge and to do so at a top speed of 40 miles per hour!
The D4+ also features independent suspensions in the front wheel and rear wheel. The LCD display is very informative too.
You can find the Nanrobot D4+ 2.0 at Roadrunner Scooters online.
Razor Ecosmart Metro Electric Scooter
Another seated option from Razor, this time accommodating a weight limit of up to 220 lbs. of ride and it can run for up to 12 miles on a charge.
It’s very comfortable and reasonably priced too.
You can find Razor Ecosmart Metro Electric Scooters online.
Levy Electric Scooter
This Levy scooter is one of the most fun ride experiences that we had in our tests, it's one of the best electric scooters when it comes to looks aswell in my opinion.
The suspension is amazing, and it can run for 15 miles before it needs a charge.
It’s one of the very few models that connects the brakes to the taillights as they should be, which are led lights.
You can find the Levy Electric Scooter on the Levy Website.
Apollo Explore
With a max speed of 31 mph the Apollo Explore is no slouch but it’s not cheap either.
It will go 34 miles on a single charge though and it’s very lightweight for this class of scooter, but we still wouldn’t want to carry it around very often. 52 lbs. are hard work.
You can find the Apollo Explore at the Apollo website.
Unagi Model One
We found this scooter to be a top performer in our tests, the best electric scooter in our opinion.
It runs great on one engine and has a much faster top speed than many other models but if you switch over to the dual motor varient, you get more power but at the cost of lithium ion battery life.
We found the controls to be very intuitive and we liked the bright and bold display they use. It also features 7.5 inch pneumatic tires instead of the traditional air filled tires.
If you want to try before you buy, they have rental programs in New York and Los Angeles for a low monthly cost.
You can find the Unagi Model One online.
Last Word on Electric Scooters
If you’ve ever thought about buying an electric scooter, then this might be the year that you should take the plunge.
We hope that our guide to the best electric scooter brands has given you something to think about and maybe it’s even inspired a passion for a particular scooter? They’re a lot of fun to ride too.
Of course, if that’s not the right option for you, why not take a look at our favorite electric skateboards, they’re even easier to park than a scooter.
Of course, if you want something a bit bigger, we’ve also got a guide to electric motorbikes and we think you’d be surprised at how powerful an electric bike can be now.
