Electric scooters are compact, motorized personal transportation devices designed for efficient and convenient travel. They typically feature a standing deck, handlebars for steering, an electric motor, and a rechargeable battery system. Most models include multiple speed modes, electronic or mechanical braking systems, and built-in lighting for visibility. Advanced scooters may also offer suspension, pneumatic tires, app-based customization, GPS tracking, and swappable batteries to extend range.
This category includes seated electric scooters. Some are purpose-built as seated only, such as the iconic Vespa brand. Other scooters feature a removable seat, allowing the rider to switch between seated and standing modes.
These scooters are widely used for commuting, recreational riding, and short-distance urban travel. Their portability, ease of use, and low operating cost make them appealing alternatives to cars, public transit, or walking for trips of a few miles. As cities continue exploring micro-mobility solutions, electric scooters have become a popular choice for individuals seeking fast, efficient, and environmentally friendly transportation that fits into daily life.
