We’ve come a long way from the radio scooters of the 20th century, but people have enjoyed experimenting with this type of mobility since the 1800s. Early scooters were made with four wheels and wood bases similar to skateboards, and were human powered by pushing off the ground.
Revolutionary experience
This scooter is everything you would expect from Segway. The 350W motor allows for speeds of over 18 mph, and the battery gets you around for up to 40 miles. The Segway MAX experience is also tough, with a maximum weight rating of 220 pounds, a mechanical and electric braking system for safety, front and rear wheel shock absorbers, and self-healing 10 inch pneumatic tires for rough road surfaces. And talk about extras. Charges fast with a single cord. The one-step folding system is portable and easy to store. This next-generation electric scooter is an excellent choice for quality, riding comfort, speed, range, and even connectivity.
Perfect for travel
The Gotrax XR Elite Scooter is designed with the discerning commuter in mind. The 8.5″ pneumatic tires provide traction and comfort. The 300W motor has a top speed of 15.5 mph and the lithium ion battery supports a range of 16-18 miles, recharging in around 4 hours. It also includes a disc brake and anti-lock braking system for safety and responsiveness. Folds and locks down for easy storage.
Upgraded features
The powerful 350W electric brushless motor allows for speeds up to 19 mph, and its high capacity battery gives you a range just over 25 miles. The solid 10″ tires and dual rear shock absorbers offer a more comfortable ride, easing tough surfaces and speed bumps. Electronic features include a digital display, cruise control, and a mobile application to customize acceleration and brake response, as well as for locking your scooter. LED lighting includes a headlight, tail light, and even side lights for added safety after dark. A great value and experience to enhance your commute.
Solid ride
The Razor Power Core E90 Electric Scooter is a great value for your kids. Its 85W maintenance-free, high-torque hub motor delivers smooth acceleration up to 10 mph – a better speed for the younger set. The 12V rechargeable battery lasts for up to 80 minutes of continuous operation. It’s easy for anyone to use – just step on, kick off, and go.
The little luxuries
This model combines the efficiency of a lightweight electric scooter with the comfort of a seat and even a bamboo deck for your feet. The Razor EcoSmart Metro Electric Scooter is a step above the standing scooters, with a 500W high-torque motor and 16″ air-filled tires. Rear wheel drive gives it enhanced driveability, traction, and ease of steering. You can reach speeds of up to 18 mph and the 36V rechargeable battery is good for a range of 12 miles.
