The micro-mobility market continues to grow as people look for ways to travel without adding to the carbon emissions brought by traffic, as well as find a way to get through traffic. There are a variety of models you can choose from, and here are e-scooters that could suit your needs.
1. Ninebot KickScooter E2 Plus
Segway has several electric scooter models, but the Ninebot KickScooter E2 Plus, priced at $399.99, is the ideal budget scooter. Its maximum speed can reach 15.5 mph and can climb up to a 12% slope. The 2.8-inch screen shows your speed, connectivity, and battery.
The RGB glow under the stepping platform helps with visibility at night. You can connect the e-scooter with the Segway app, which allows you to lock the scooter remotely, as well as update it over the air. It also features services and tutorials, along with personalized settings.
2. GoTrax G3 Plus
Another budget e-scooter priced at $399, the G3 Plus has a higher maximum speed of 18 mph and has a waterproof rating of IPX5. You can use it for 18 miles, which takes around four to five hours per charge to power the 300W motor.
It's easily folded for storage and has a one-year warranty when you find issues with the motor. The aluminum alloy used in the frames helps with its speed, and it comes with head and tail lights for night use. It weighs around 34.5 lbs, light enough to carry once it runs out of power.
3. Nami Klima
This one is a bit more on the higher price tier at $2,499, but that's because you'll get a higher-quality scooter for it. It has a folding system so it can be easier to store. It's also water resistant with an IP55 certification, which allows you to use it even during rainy days.
You can customize riding modes that fit your preference and the purpose of the usage. The steering column is aluminum, a lighter metal that reduces the weight of the scooter. It uses 10-inch tubeless tires, so you won't have to worry about pinch flats.
4. EMove Cruiser S
A bit cheaper than the Klima, the Cruiser S is priced at $1,399. It can climb up to 20 degrees uphill and can run up to 62 miles. It is heavier than other brands since it weighs 56 lbs, but it makes up for with with its weight capacity of 352 lbs.
It also goes fast up to 33 mph, which is ideal for streets that are not too crowded by cars and people. The scooter has a waterproof rating of IPX6, and it comes in various colors such as black, orange, white, light blue, purple, and red, although the red option is out of stock as of writing.
5. Anyhill UM-2
The Anyhill UM-2 has a 450W motor and can support a maximum of 300 lbs, but it does have a lower maximum speed of 30 mph compared to the other scooter listed above. Its range is also shorter at 28 miles. Like the Cruiser S, it can climb up to 20 degrees.
One of its selling points is that it uses a detachable battery, which means that you buy an extra and switch it out when the other is depleted. The e-scooter also has a quick fold feature, as well as a regen brake system. You can purchase accessories like an e-scooter lock for security and a phone holder as well.
