The following factors need to be considered when choosing an electric scooter:

Battery performance

Battery type: lithium batteries are usually lighter and last longer than lead-acid batteries, but they are also relatively expensive.

Battery capacity: Generally speaking, the higher the capacity, the longer the range. Common battery capacities range from 5Ah to 20Ah.

Motor power: Motor power determines the power and speed of the electric scooter. For daily commuting, 300W to 500W motor power is usually enough. If you need to cope with climbing slopes or pursue higher speeds, a motor with more than 500W may be more suitable.

Maximum speed and range: Choose the right maximum speed and range according to your needs. If you only use it in a small area or for a short distance, a lower speed and shorter range will be sufficient; if you need to use it for a longer commute, you will need a higher speed and longer range.

Safety

Brakes: Safety is crucial, and a good braking system ensures safe travelling. Common types of brakes are electronic and mechanical, and disc brakes are usually more effective.

Tyre type: Tyre type determines stability and comfort. Pneumatic tyres provide better shock absorption but require regular maintenance; solid tyres do not need to be inflated and have low maintenance costs, but the shock absorption effect is relatively weak.

Lights and reflective devices: In order to improve the safety of night riding, electric scooters should be equipped with front and rear lights and reflective devices to improve visibility by other traffic participants.

Body material and weight: The body material affects the sturdiness and durability of the scooter. Aluminium alloy is more common and is both lightweight and strong. At the same time, the weight of the scooter should be taken into consideration, as it is too heavy to carry, generally speaking, 10kg to 15kg is more suitable.

Comfort and Convenience

Handlebar height: The height of the handlebar should match your height to ensure comfort when riding. Adjustable handlebar design can meet the needs of users of different heights.

Pedal area: Wide pedals provide better standing balance and reduce fatigue during long rides.

Folding design: If you need to carry the scooter on the bus, underground or in the boot of the car, a product that is easy to fold and compact after folding will be more suitable.

Brand and after-sales service

Brand awareness: choosing a well-known brand usually guarantees the quality of the product and after-sales service. Find out the brand's reputation and user reviews, as well as the coverage and response speed of after-sales service.

After-sales service: Good after-sales service can provide users with a better experience. Choose those brands that provide perfect after-sales service, such as warranty period and distribution of repair outlets.
