Rating of the best electric scooters for any age in 2020

Such a relatively young, original form of transport as an electric scooter is gradually gaining popularity among people of all ages. From a fashionable device, it has transformed into a truly convenient, fast, eco-friendly and easy-to-use personal transport. The low cost of the device makes it affordable for purchase, and the design varieties are suitable for adults, children and the elderly.

It differs from a conventional scooter by the presence of an electric motor located in the rear wheel. All technical stuffing is hidden in the lower platform, and the foot brake is similar to the car brake.

In the manufacture of electric scooters, great attention is paid to the user's comfort. All models of this device are distinguished by the reliability of materials, durability, and have an ergonomic shape. They are equipped with a simple folding mechanism, thanks to which the device becomes portable, it is easy to carry it to any place, transport it in a car or bus. The frame of the product is made of light alloys, so the electric scooters are lightweight.

In order to start moving on the electric scooter, just press the red button located on the side of the device. You can charge the battery from the mains using a special adapter.

It should be noted that the electric scooter can comfortably move not only on a flat asphalt road, but also in the private sector. To do this, you just need to select the “off-road vehicle” model - this is a scooter with high power, heavy body, large diameter wheels, and good shock absorption. This model is most suitable for driving on uneven roads.

A significant disadvantage of the device is the inability to ride in rainy or frosty weather. The fact is that the electric scooter is not equipped with serious moisture protection of the battery. Its battery does not tolerate low temperatures, therefore, if the thermometer is -10 or below, it may not withstand. For this reason, the electric scooter is a seasonal transport.

What to look for when choosing an electric scooter for adults

To find the best scooter, you need to pay attention to the following key parameters of this device:

Battery type. Most modern scooters are equipped with Li-Ion and Li-Pol batteries (lithium-ion, lithium-polymer). Older devices have lead-acid batteries that are heavy. In addition, they are sealed, which adds to the problems with their maintenance. However, a lead-acid battery responds well to freezing weather, while a Li-lon battery loses almost half its charge. Li-Pol batteries are the most preferable, their efficiency is at least 97%, and their service life is about 25 years.

Power. The motor-wheel is responsible for this parameter, the speed and carrying capacity of the device depend on the power. For example, a power of 250 watts accelerates a scooter to 25 km / h, and for a speed of 50 km / h you need a device with a capacity of up to 1000 watts.

Diameter and type of wheels. The larger the diameter, the higher the vehicle's permeability. In addition, it is much easier to operate a scooter with large wheels. A diameter of 8 to 10 inches is enough to move around the city, but such wheels are unlikely to cope with overcoming curbs, so if the city has uneven roads or sidewalks, it is better to give preference to a larger diameter. As for the type, they distinguish between cast wheels designed for driving on perfectly-even asphalt, and inflatable ones - ideal for driving on a dirt road, tiles, uneven road surfaces.

Depreciation. These are air or spring suspensions. It is desirable that the shock absorption is on both wheels, this will provide a comfortable and soft ride on any type of surface, even on dirt roads.

Weight and portability. The absence of a large number of moving parts is responsible for the reliability of the structure. The electric scooter equipped with a folding mechanism is mobile, easy to carry from place to place, transported in public transport, or simply stored in the room. However, this design is not as reliable as the non-foldable model.

With regard to the weight of the device, the optimal value varies from 10 to 20 kg. Heavier scooters will not be easy to handle alone, especially when it comes to climbing a mountain or stairs.

How to choose an electric scooter for children

Unlike a conventional scooter, this modern device is almost a full-fledged vehicle and is capable of gaining solid speed. For this reason, the choice of a device for a child becomes a responsible matter, requiring attention to the following parameters and criteria:

User's age. For children aged 4 to 7 years, electric scooters are available with simple controls, low speed and low weight. Moreover, their design is as safe and reliable as possible.For children between the ages of 8 and 12, it is best to choose a scooter equipped with a speed limiter (no higher than 10 km / h). For older children and teenagers, devices that develop speeds up to 25 km / h are suitable.

Dimensions and weight. Everything is simple here, the less the mass of the vehicle, the better. Before the motor of the scooter is started, it must be manually taken out of the apartment, and after the walk, it must be brought back as well, and with a large weight of the device (more than 8 kg), the child simply cannot cope with such a task on his own. As for the size of the scooter, the height of the steering rack must correspond to the height of the child, otherwise it will be difficult and inconvenient to operate the scooter.

Battery. The large battery capacity and the long battery life of the device mean that the scooter is heavy and takes a long time to charge. When choosing a battery with optimal performance, you will have to sacrifice one of these parameters. A good indicator is the scooter's ability to travel at least 15 km on a single charge. In order for the battery to last as long as possible, you need to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the correct use and charging of the battery.

How to choose the right electric scooter for an elderly person

In this case, an individual approach is required: an electric scooter for an elderly person must combine the technical characteristics of different types of scooters. Therefore, in addition to reliability and high-quality assembly, three main parameters should be considered:

Motor power. It should be sufficient for easy climbing uphill so that the user does not have to climb himself, additionally raising the scooter. The same goes for small elevation differences that a low-powered device cannot cope with.

Comfort. A soft seat is mandatory, and the steering wheel must be ergonomic and have a comfortable height.

The presence of a trunk. An important detail when traveling to shops, the trunk will allow the user not to worry about heavy bags.

From an entertainment device, the electric scooter is gradually turning into a real form of transport, which has firmly gained popularity and demand in the life of an urban person. This comfortable eco-friendly device is ideal for walking, short trips long distances for walking, but too small for a car trip. Thanks to the good cross-country ability with the help of an electric scooter, you can get to the desired place, which cannot be reached by public transport, without traffic jams or problems with parking. In general, a ride on an electric scooter can cheer you up, deliver a lot of positive emotions and diversify your usual walks.
