Whether for economic or ecological reasons or to meet a clear need for practicality, the choice to equip oneself with a electric means of transport is now a given for many city dwellers. This is why demand is increasing for micromobility vehicles, leading to an increase in the supply of brands and models. In recent years, we have seen the arrival on the market of several types of vehicles offering an increasingly innovative mode of locomotion. It is then up to the user to choose their electric means of transport .

The electric scooter: fast and durable

This is the electric means of transport the most popular among fans of this type of locomotion. The electric scooter is very often used by adults to get to their workplace, and by teenagers to go for a walk. It is foldable and easy to store. Regarding its use, this device quickly gives confidence to the user.

The speed reaches 25 km/h (limited according to the law in force) and is controlled at the handlebar. The braking system depends entirely on the brand and model. Some place disc brakes that are activated from the handlebar and others choose to place them at the feet. The battery life depends greatly on the model chosen and can be estimated between 15 and 30 km. In addition, the battery recharges on a simple power outlet. To get an electric scooter, you need to have at least 600 euros and a little more for a high-end model.

The electric scooter is very popular because of its ease of use. However, this device is sometimes a little heavy. In this case, it can be difficult to climb stairs with an electric scooter if it weighs 15 kilos for example.

Therefore, an electric scooter carries little risk and is very practical for getting around town. It is the ideal choice if you are not looking for thrills and your route does not involve stairs.
