The Ausom L1 is a budget electric scooter that punches well above its price tag in ways that are hard to ignore.

Segway's Max G3 Plus takes an already excellent commuter scooter and sharpens it further: a stronger motor, more usable range, and rear turn signals finally visible in traffic; all wrapped in a riding experience that feels expertly refined. It's a model upgrade rather than a reinvention, so a few rough edges remain, like mechanical rather than hydraulic brakes and a boost-mode activation that's actually gotten fussier than before. Even so, it remains the most complete, tech-loaded scooter in the commuter category, and most of what's left to criticize could be fixed with software updates.
