Electric Kick Scooters

Like the typical kick scooters in the ‘90s, electric kick scooters have 2 wheels, a deck, and handlebars to steer. They are different from those non-electric kick scooters of the past. Because now we’ve added a battery, an electric motor, some fancy electronics, and larger tires, often filled with air. Ad campaigns from manufacturers may fuel the recent surge in interest for electric kick scooters. But there is no doubt that cities across Europe, UK, and the world are ready for the electric kick scooter concept.

Micro-Mobility with Electric Kick Scooters

The micro-mobility concept has gone viral as cities combine gym lockdowns, traffic jams, and environmentally friendly residents. Hopping onto a no-emissions, personal vehicle to commute, running errands, and increasing physical activity makes sense. As such, there are now a wide variety of electric kick scooters to choose from here at Eazyro.com.
Most electric kick scooters are designed for adults, but some manufacturers, especially Razor, target electric kick scooters for kids and teens.

Electric Kick Scooters for Adults

Electric scooters for adults are the most common scooter on the market. They have a larger weight capacity than the models for children. The weight capacity is usually 100 kg (220 lbs). Plus, electric kick scooters for adults have more powerful motors, a larger battery and deck, and a taller stem. As a result, the electric kick scooters for adults are more expensive than the versions designed for kids.
A typical adult electric kick scooter weighs less than 15kg (30 lbs), has a 250-watt motor with a 250-watt-hour lithium-ion battery. Top speeds are usually around 15 mph, with a range of 16+ km (10 miles).
So, for short commutes and running errands, electric kick scooters are a natural, eco-friendly choice.

Electric Kick Scooters for Kids or Teens

Electric kick scooters for kids or teens are lighter, smaller, and less expensive than adult models. They are usually manufactured with less durable materials, like plastic, have weaker motors, and often contain lower energy density lead-acid batteries.
Many Electric Kick Scooters for Kids are toys, so they shouldn’t be ridden on public roads. Teens who need an electric kick scooter to commute to school are best advised to choose a model designed for adults.
A typical kid’s electric kick scooter weighs around 9kg (20 lbs), has a 150-watt motor, 100 watt-hour battery, sealed lead acid, or lithium-ion in more expensive models. They have a range of about 5km (3 miles).

Safety on An Electric Kick Scooter for Adults

Safety equipment is a necessity when riding the scooter at any speed. Depending on how fast you ride and your riding conditions, you may need more or less safety equipment.

Repairs and Maintenance

Electric scooters don’t require regular upkeep except checking the tire pressure if they have air-filled tires.
