What should you consider before purchasing a scooter? What do you expect from this electric scooter? In these articles, Weebot undertakes to answer your questions and allow you to find the scooter that best suits you.

How to choose your electric scooter?

Before making any purchase of electric scooters, you must take into account several basic characteristics to have a model that can meet your expectations. Here are some features to consider: 

  • Battery life
  • The type of engine
  • The size but also their types of wheels
  • Engine power
  • Battery power
  • The braking system used
  • The size of the deck
  • The lighting system available
  • The weight to bear
  • The ability to ride on difficult terrain or to climb slopes
  • Additional accessories available (LCD screen, Bluetooth connection etc.)

What is the right price for an electric scooter?

It all depends on the model you are looking for. There are many types of scooters at different prices and offering different services. You can find very good scooters at low prices if you want to buy your first electric scooter. In this case, you can opt for models around 500 euros.

If you want a powerful scooter with optimal performance or you are a fan of speed, you should probably look at much more expensive models. A scooter costing almost 1000 euros should suit you in this specific case.

Please note that the price also increases depending on the components of your electric scooter. A powerful scooter will therefore have more powerful and more expensive materials, particularly in terms of its battery and its motor. It will also have additional features to improve your driving comfort. 

Essential accessories for your electric scooter 

Buying an electric scooter is only the first part of your adventure in the world of urban mobility. It is also essential to have additional accessories to accompany you on the road. They will allow you to ensure your comfort but also your safety once you have your electric scooter in hand.

As with cycling or motorcycles, it is important to protect your body with gloves, helmets or other items. You can also equip your scooter with saddlebags so you can easily store your belongings once you're on the road. 


Safety on board your electric scooter

It is important to be able to see and be seen but also hear and be heard once on board your scooter. It is therefore recommended to opt for scooters with front and rear lighting. To do this, you can invest in additional headlights. If you are driving at night we also recommend that you wear clothing visible in the dark in addition to your vehicle's headlights.

To make this heard, nothing better than a small bell. By investing a few extra euros you will be able to make yourself heard by passers-by and vehicles that you may encounter on your route. When you ride we also recommend that you avoid wearing headphones so you can hear what is happening around you and avoid unpleasant surprises.
