What Is an Electric Scooter?

An electric scooter, also called an eScooter, is a personal electric vehicle that most often resembles a kick scooter. These rides do not have pedals and are typically ridden while standing, though we do carry seated eScooter models as well. eScooters are battery-powered and use a motor in one or both wheels to propel the scooter. This electric power is controlled by a throttle of some kind. Many models are capable of folding for easier carrying and storage.
