When starting out in the world of electric scooters, many users are looking for a product that is easy to handle. With a 350W brushless motor, the electric scooter is a good way to get around town on a short trip.
It allows you to easily reach a place much faster than on foot and more economical than by car. Discover in this article our 350W electric scooter comparison presenting the 5 best-selling models in this category.
Why choose a 350W electric scooter?
In order to be able to ride legally on public roads, the electric scooter is limited to 25 km/h in France. With a machine equipped with a 350W motor, you will have enough power to drive up to this maximum speed.
In the entry-level of electric scooters, 350W is already more than enough for city trips. These are carried out on flat or slightly uneven roads and for routes of an average of 3 km.
The first price models under 250 € are generally with a 200W or 250W motor. These products offer a more limited use of the electric scooter.
It is better to invest in a 350W electric scooter with slightly higher power to move around town with ease . You will then be able to climb slightly steeper slopes, where other machines stop for lack of engine power.
Sufficient for short urban journeys
The 350W electric scooter is a good compromise as an easy-to-use means of transport. The models presented below in our comparison are lightweight so that they can be taken with you anywhere without any worries.
To compensate for their low capacity lithium battery (between 10 km and 20 km maximum autonomy depending on the product), these EDPMs can be used in addition to a trip by public transport.
Unlike other more expensive electric scooters, however, comfort will have to be overlooked with hyper-flexible suspensions. But this is not the priority when deciding to use an electric scooter for a trip of less than 5 km.
What are the selection criteria?
If you want to buy a 350W electric scooter, what are the criteria to take into account when selecting your product? Weebot gives you the keys to make your choice according to your use.
Dimensions and weight
Many users of electric scooters want to store their two wheels in their car trunk. This is why it is worth looking at the information available on the dimensions of the 350W electric scooter . The total length when folded can sometimes be too big for some car trunks.
As for the weight, it is mainly according to your capacities to carry this EDPM. Whether it is to carry the electric scooter up stairs, or to take public transport, 1 or 2 extra kilos can make the difference in being complicated to transport.
Lightweight electric scooters are estimated to weigh up to 17kg. Beyond that, it is often more difficult to carry them at arm's length.
Battery life
You should know that the battery is the component of the 350W electric scooter that weighs the most in the weight of the vehicle. The larger it is, the more autonomy it offers. Everything is then a question of compromise with the desired autonomy according to your daily journeys.

Small presentation and comparison of the best 350W electric scooters available on the French market.
Inöe Tweeky: The best choice
The Inöe Tweeky is made for you if you are looking for a cheap and water-resistant electric scooter model. Many customers regularly drive in the light rain and discover after some time that their product no longer works.
Driving in the rain eventually leads to oxidation of the battery. If the Inöe Sweemie (at 699€) allows you to ride in puddles, the Tweeky is content to offer good protection from the rain , without being waterproof.
We therefore advise against using it in rainy weather, but be aware that among all the models selected, this one will offer you the best guarantees against the oxidation of its battery with IP65 standard .
This 350W electric scooter from the French brand Inöe is equipped with 10-inch inflatable tires . By being larger, these tires offer a much safer and more comfortable ride than smaller tires.
It has a rear drum brake for better safety and shorter braking distances compared to the electromagnetic brake present in the 350W motor.
With good driving dynamics, the Tweeky is comfortable for everyday journeys up to 25 km/h with its 36 km range . Energy-efficient, this Inöe is one of the most autonomous in our comparison of 350W electric scooters with its 36V 10Ah battery.
Highlights of Inöe Tweeky
- a French brand scooter
- good resistance to rain (IP65 but not waterproof)
- better driving thanks to large 10 inch tires
- a very correct autonomy for the 350W range
- reasonable price of 539 €
Weak Points of Inöe Tweeky
- the weight of 17 kg
- a larger size than the Xiaomi
Speedway mini 4 Pro Lite
The design of the Speedway Mini 4 Pro Lite scooter is made in Korea, the production is made in China. It must be admitted that the design of the scooter is very neat, which gives it this elegant, modern and ergonomic appearance.
You should also know that the chassis is made of aluminum, a guarantee of solidity and that the device supports a weight of up to 120 kg! The height of the Speedway Mini 4 Pro Lite electric scooter is easily adjustable, which we particularly like.
In addition, the Speedway Mini 4 Pro Lite is equipped with 8-inch soft rubber wheels . The device also has a shock absorber at the front which makes it easier to roll. Indeed, shocks related to holes in the bitumen, paving stones or even manhole covers are absorbed and vibrations are further reduced.
It allows you to reach a maximum speed of 25 km/h like most of the other models in our comparison. Its autonomy is about 30 km .
The Speedway Mini 4 Pro electric scooter is a very practical, ecological and above all efficient means of transport thanks to its power. Its design, however, is beginning to show the weight of the years.
Highlights of the Speedway Mini 4 Pro Lite
- A well-balanced electric scooter
- Effective suspensions
Speedway Mini 4 Pro Lite Weaknesses
- No water resistance
- A slightly older look
E-Twow Eco Light Plus
The E-TWOW Eco Light Plus electric scooter is intended for those who seek lightness above all. Recognized for the reliability of their electric scooters, the E-Twow brand is also known for their extreme lightness.
With a weight of 9.9 kg the E-Twow Eco Light Plus is one of the lightest electric scooters on the market. It offers a maximum speed of 25 km/h with a range of approximately 15 to 20 km. Like all E-Twows, the Eco Light Plus is fitted with 8-inch soft rubber solid tyres .
This makes it indestructible and it will be easy to use it daily. However, be careful when driving with solid wheels, especially on wet roads, which tend to slip.
The fast recharge is done in 2 hours to easily start a full charge. Easy to handle, many users do not hesitate to transport their inexpensive E-Twow electric scooter on public transport due to the compactness and lightness of the device.
Highlights of the E-Twow Eco
- The lightest in our comparison
- E-Twow manufacturing quality
- Puncture-proof front and rear tire
Weak points of the E-Twow Eco
- No suspension
- You feel the vibrations a lot on rough roads.
- Battery a bit tight
- Braking system not the most effective
Kugoo S1 Pro
The Kugoo S1 Pro has entered online sales platforms for a few years now. As an electric scooter specialist, we are generally skeptical of this kind of product.
Its general line is modeled on what the E-Twow brand offers and we quickly understand that the Kugoo brand has rebadged an old product . The S1 Pro has characteristics very close to the E-Twow Eco Light Plus with a slightly larger battery. Hence its weight also higher, amounting to 11.5 kg against 9.9 kg on the E-Twow.
A positive point is the presence of bright LED turn signals integrated into the handles of the electric scooter. A way to increase its visibility but also the intentions in its driving when you want to turn.
Highlights of the Kugoo S1 Pro
- Quite light
- A cheap electric scooter
Weak points of the Kugoo S1 Pro
- Little chance of having access to after-sales service by purchasing this product
- A rebadged E-Twow
- Mediocre quality
Xiaomi Mi Scooter Pro 2
We deviate slightly from the rule because this scooter has a 300W motor instead of 350W. This new model of the year 2021, the Xiaomi Pro 2 electric scooter is the best-selling model in this ranking. Offered at a price of around 499 euros, it is possible to find it for less on the Internet.
Without compromising on quality, the Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi offers for a weight of 14.2 kg, an ideal transport vehicle for short trips. Foldable very simply, the Xiaomi Pro 2 scooter has a 300W brushless motor allowing it to travel at a maximum speed of 25 km/h. This is sufficient for most of the routes for which it is intended, that is to say the city.
We thus find on this Xiaomi scooter an LCD control screen integrated into the handlebar offering various information, such as speed, driving mode, remaining battery level, etc... Its 8.5-inch inflatable wheels with inner tube are now much more resistant than previous models of the Xiaomi M365.
But the advantage of this low-cost electric scooter is to have a rear disc brake to ride safely on the road. Equipment that is found on generally more expensive models and which offers more effective braking. Very handy in traffic.
This makes it an excellent scooter for beginners but also and especially for a teenager. What could be more reassuring for a parent than knowing that their child can move independently and safely.
A quality investment for a low cost which is one of the best sellers in France of cheap electric scooters at Xiaomi as we have seen in our comparison.
Highlights of the Xiaomi Pro 2
- Good build quality
- Very easy to find on various online stores
- Regularly on sale
- Fairly decent ride comfort
- A mechanical disc brake at the rear
Weak points of the Xiaomi Pro 2
- A certain lack of originality in terms of look
- Inflatable tires sensitive to punctures
- The weakest motor in our comparison (300W)
