A commuter electric scooter needs to suit the journey you make most often.

All manufacturer range figures are estimates measured in ideal conditions. What reduces claimed range Across more than 150 e-scooters we've tested, real-world range almost always lands below the number on the box.

Comfort over a daily ride Tyres, suspension and deck size do more for comfort than any other spec. Pneumatic tyres soak up bumps on Australian roads far better than
