Today we’ll be taking a look at some of the best electric scooters for adults and
commuting to work.
We’ll break them down into the best categories of best commuter, off road and speed, portability,
and most affordable.
We also have plenty of coupon codes to save you some money on many of these options, so
be sure to take a look in the description if you’re interested in buying yourself
a scooter.
Alright, first up - taking a look at options that are great for getting you to work.
The Niu KQi3 Pro is a great sturdy option that also offers plenty of functionality for
the average commuter.
With 31 miles (50 km) of range, a top speed of 20 miles per hour (32 kmh), and an app
to track your rides and smart lock your scooter - the KQi3 Pro is great for anyone to get
around town for the day.
The 350 watt motor gives you four different levels of speed - eSave, Sport, Custom, and
walking mode (get speed levels for each.
This one can get additional speed through the app?)
For brakes, the Niu will get you to a quick stop with dual disc brakes, but it also features
regenerative braking with the motor that will put a little more charge in your battery.
If you’d like, you can also adjust the regen settings in the app.
For safety, we especially like the bright halo headlight on the Niu.
It’s also loaded with reflectors and an LED tail light - so you’ll be plenty visible
at night.
The scooter is also built with a digital lock that can be accessed through the Niu app to
unlock your scooter.
The app also details ride statistics, the battery life, and you can even see data on
your other Niu rides.
The KQi3 Pro unfortunately doesn’t have any suspension, but as long as you’re keeping
it to the streets and bike paths and not going offroad - it handles just fine.
Niu also offers the KQi2 with a smaller 300W motor and overall slightly smaller build,
that gives you up to 25 miles of range (40km) and a top speed of 18 miles per hour (29 kmh).
The KQi2 will run you $599, while the KQi3 Pro costs $799.
But there’s deals available, and we have coupon codes that will save you up to $100
off, so be sure to check the description of this video for those.
The Niu scooters also include a 2 year warranty, which is one of the longest warranties we’ve
seen on a scooter, especially one with this price tag.
Most other brands have a warranty of 1 year or less.
Another great commuter option is the Segway F40.
We reviewed this one already, and the F40 has a solid build, with a great design and
good specs.
It features a 350 watt motor in the front wheel that will get you up to 19mph (30 kmh)
and a range of 25 miles (40 km).
It doesn’t feature any suspension, but it still rides pretty smooth with 10-inch pneumatic
tires - and we also like that it features regenerative braking.
It also comes with the Segway app that lets you lock the scooter, get ride stats, and
adjust the regenerative braking levels.
For price, the F40 comes in at $770, which is pretty steep, but compared to the Niu’s
- the F40 has a much slimmer build, making it a lot easier to carry and store.
For weight, these commuter options are on the slightly heavier side, with the KQi3 Pro
at 45 lbs (20 kgs), the KQi2 at 40 lbs (18 kgs), and the F40 is the lightest coming in
at 35 lbs (16 kgs)
In case you’re interested in a scooter that’s super lightweight and ultra portable, we recommend
checking out the Segway Air T15.
With a unique folding mechanism that gets this thing ridiculously compact and a weight
of just 23 lbs (10 kgs), the T15 is the most portable scooter we’ve tested on the market.
It also comes with an app, where you can see the battery life, ride details, and customize
the settings like regenerative braking.
You can also customize the long LED strip down the front and choose from the entire
rainbow of colors and even change effects.
The only problem with the T15 is that it has much smaller wheels, and it’s not gonna
get you very far or get you there very fast.
With a top speed of 12 mph (19 kmh) and a max range of 9 miles (14 km), we can’t stress
enough that this scooter is gonna be for the shorter commutes.
We also wanna note that the T15 has a shorter handlebar stem.
So - this rider at 5ft11 felt less comfortable riding than this rider at 5f5.
Thankfully, the price for Segway’s T15 also came down since we reviewed it - now at $550
on Amazon.
Another compact option would be the Inokim Light 2 - with a stem that can collapse into
itself and handlebars that can fold down - but the Light 2 comes in at a pretty steep price
at $1000.
But, with their folding system and a weight of 30lbs (14 kgs), it’s definitely one of
the more portable scooters we’ve tested that has more powerful specs.
The Light 2 has a top speed of 21 mph (34 kmh) and range of 20 miles (32 km) - as well
as bigger battery options getting you up to 28 miles of range (45 km) and the Light 2
unfortunately doesn’t have any suspension, but we still found it to ride pretty smooth.
In case you’re looking for options with good suspension for off road, as well as a
much higher speed - we recommend taking a look at the Vsett 10+ - a monster scooter
with dual 1,400 watt motors that will get you up to 50 mph (80 kmh).
It even has a Turbo button that gives you 2 minutes of maximum peak performance.
It starts at $1,899 for the 20.8Ah battery which will get you up to 45 miles of range
(72 km), but RevRides also has a 28Ah version that gets you up to 70 miles of range (113
km).
We tested the VSETT off-road and were impressed with how it handled the trails.
For suspension, the scooter has large dual shocks in both the front and rear, allowing
it to handle every bump, large feature, or jumps that we hit.
The scooter also has a max rider weight of 286 lb, making it perfect for heavy riders.
While riding, the right side of the handlebar features the display and control buttons.
It’s a color LCD, showing the speed, battery and odometer.
While the buttons allow you toggle the gear and turn on and off the lights.
The scooter even features NFC for locking and unlocking.
When you turn it on it asks to scan the NFC card to unlock it, and it comes with extras
in case you lose any.
The handlebars also have the turn signal indicator buttons built in on both sides.
Pressing the button will turn on either blinker light, located on either side of the platform.
For lights, it features a front light in the front fender, as well as dual rear LED lights
on either side of the deck.
Next up - in case you don’t need too much speed and you just need a cheap scooter to
get you places - currently the HiBoy S2 is on sale for $425 on Amazon.
The S2 comes packed with a 350W motor that will get you up to 19 mph (30 kmh) and a range
of 17 miles (27 km) - which is pretty standard for scooters at this price range.
Though, the S2 also has dual rear suspension and app connectivity to lock your scooter,
check battery, and adjust speed settings - which is less common for this price range.
And for an extra $40, you can even open up this little flap and attach a seat to your
scooter.
Another great option at $450 is the GoTrax G3 scooter, which has similar specs to the
HiBoy S2.
It has a 300W motor that will get you 18 miles of range and a top speed of 18 miles per hour.
The G3 doesn’t have any fancy app functionality, but these newer GoTrax scooters are still
the only scooters we’ve reviewed that have a built in retractable cable and combo lock.
Now, the lock is nothing special and we wouldn’t recommend it for overnight safety - but it
is convenient for short trips in a store or jumping into a quick meeting.
GoTrax also has a total of 9 different models available, from lower cost options starting
at $350, and higher end ones with more range and top speed for up to $800.
We made a full comparison video of the GoTrax scooter lineup, so be sure to watch that next.
Alright, that’s it for now.
