Top electric scooters compared

About Top electric scooters compared

Electric scooters vary more by what you give up than by what you pay. Across 46 brands in this category, the entry price a shop asks for its cheapest model runs from €68.57 to €1,315.44, with a median of €399. The top of the range sits far higher, with an upper quartile of €2,361. So the opening trade-off a reader weighs is whether a cheap entry price leads to a thin specification, or a higher figure buys a scooter with real range, proper brakes and suspension. The next trade-off is where it can be bought. Several brands here ship to the US only, while others list a long row of European countries, and where you live decides which prices you actually see. Speed is the least useful separator of all: the median here is 30 km/h, with an upper quartile of 32 km/h, so a handful of brands sit far above the rest. Battery capacity spreads widely, from 168.48 Wh to 2,304 Wh, which matters more for daily range than raw speed does. Below, the brands are ordered by those weighted signals, with each entry naming the facts that put it in this ranking and the trade-off it carries.

How we picked

Every brand in this ranking is scored on weighted signals. Cost carries 40%, the offer and what a plan includes carries 40%, and trust in the seller carries 20%. Cost is the largest share, so the entry price a brand publishes matters more here than the top of its range, and what the money buys is weighed almost as heavily. Trust decides the remaining cases, and it rests on what a brand states about itself: warranty length, support channels, spare parts, and where the legal entity sits. We take the numbers from each brand's own product pages, policies and comparison tables, then keep only what those pages state, with no added estimates. Figures are recorded as ranges when a brand quotes a range, and as a single figure when it quotes one. Partners that serve your country are listed first in this ranking, then the rest by score. Speeds, ranges, weights, capacities and prices in the member entries are each brand's own claims for its own models, and they are not measurements taken on the same test, so treat them as the seller's figures rather than a lab comparison. Where a brand publishes a spread, it is shown as a spread.

Our top picks

1. 3. iSinwheel: best for lowest-price-from

   Lowest price from in this ranking, at £59, with a battery of 750 and a claimed range of 59.5, well short of what the top pick claims. It also holds an IP rating of IP65, the strongest in this list, and support on email, phone and chat with chat and phone included. Suspension is fitted, tyres are pneumatic, and the load limit is 200, the highest here. Compared with the top pick, it trades raw speed for cost, shipping reach across GB, DE and FR, and the widest support options in the ranking. The legal entity and headquarters both sit in GB.

   • Vehicle type: Kick scooter
   • Reference models: GT2 1200W, GT1 2026 800W, S10MAX 1000W, S9PRO 500W
   • Price from: £59

   Pros

   • Low barrier: prices start at £59, and finance is offered, so a bigger model does not have to be paid for in a single amount.
   • Power headroom: the scooter side runs to 1,200 W, well above the site median of 500 W for the category.
   • Range choice: the catalogue covers commuter, city and step through e-bike types alongside a kick scooter line, with a removable battery, suspension and folding available.
   • Everyday hardware on the scooters: disc brakes, pneumatic tyres and IP65 sealing.
   • Support and parts: email, phone and chat are all offered, and a spare parts shop lets you order replacements directly.

   Cons

   • Battery capacity sits below the field: 750 Wh places the brand at 7 of 20 on our data.
   • Battery cover is the short pole: 1 year on the battery against 2 years on the frame.
   • Repairs are not done in-house: work goes to partner workshops, so there is an extra step when something fails.
   • Carrying weight: 22.5 kg on the off-road scooter, with the lightest folding e-bike at 16.8 kg.

2. G4. Gyroor

   Last in this ranking because its figures are the narrowest of the group, though nothing it lists is weak. Entry is $159.99, claimed range 32.2, top speed 30.6 and a load limit of 136, with a motor of 180 at the low end here. It is among the brands here stating a UL battery certification, and it has pneumatic tyres, folding, and a spare parts shop. Two things place it last: support runs on email alone, with no phone, chat or help centre, and it ships to US only. Compared with the member above it, it saves on entry price and states a battery certification, but drops the longer warranty and the wider support line.

   • Vehicle type: Kick scooter
   • Reference models: X2, X3, H40
   • Price from: $159.99

   Pros

   • Entry pricing of $159.99 keeps the range approachable, with the ceiling of the e-bike line at $699.99.
   • Reference models X2, X3, H40 cover folding and fat tire e-bikes as well as the kick-scooter, so a single maker covers both jobs.
   • A claimed range of 32.2 km, a top speed of 30.6 km/h kmh and a 136 kg load limit make the scooters workable for an adult daily commute.
   • The e-bike side carries the ul 2849 certification and a removable battery, and the scooter models are listed to a UL battery safety standard.
   • The scooter line pairs drum and disc brakes with pneumatic tyres, and a spare parts shop covers consumables.

   Cons

   • Support runs on email only, with no phone line or live chat listed.
   • Repairs go through a partner network, so a fix means finding an outside workshop rather than an in-house one.
   • The range is listed for US only, which narrows buying and returns to a single market.
   • Entry-level power of 180 W is modest next to the 500 W typical across this market.

What to look for

Price at the entry point

This is the largest weight in the scoring at 40%, and the spread is wide. Across this ranking entry prices start at €68.57 and reach €1,315.44, with a median of €399. Check what the entry model actually is, because a cheap listing may be a small-battery model rather than the one most buyers want.

Folding and the weight to lift

A scooter you carry on a train or store in a flat should fold, and every brand here does so, which is why the share for folding is 100%. Weight is the figure that decides whether you can lift it, and it runs from a very light option up to heavy models that need a proper lift. Read the weight alongside your own storage and lifting limits.

Brakes, suspension and tyres

Brake type is a safety choice you can see from a distance, and the ranking shows a mixed picture rather than a single standard. Suspension is close to universal here at 92.3%, so a scooter without it is unusual and worth noticing. Tubeless and pneumatic tyres each hold a large share in this ranking, with solid tyres a minority choice.

Power against battery size

Motor power alone tells you little, so read it next to battery size. Nominal power has a median of 500 W and a lower quartile of 350 W, while battery capacity runs from 168.48 Wh to 2,304 Wh with a median of 436.7 Wh. The pair sets real range between charges far better than power alone.

Warranty and how to reach support

Most brands here state a warranty period, and a longer one signals the seller expects the scooter to last. Look too at what support you can reach, since email is close to universal at 95.3% while phone reaches 62.8% and chat 30.2%. A phone line helps most when a fault appears early.

Where the brand actually sells

A brand can only sell you what it ships to. Several brands in this ranking list the US as their only market, while others list a long row of European countries, and one lists road legality in the US. If your country is missing from a brand's market list, its price is not your price, and that check should come before any comparison of figures.
