A while back I was standing at the gas pump complaining to myself about the high gas prices. I decided right then that there had to be a better way; something that provided for convenient transportation, but at a lower cost. That's when I decided to Electric Scooter investigate the various options in way of an electric scooter.
There were several questions that immediately came into my mind about this plan. Where can I buy a dependable, good quality scooter? Which brand names are the best? Are there any local places to purchase parts or get repairs if necessary? What safety concerns and laws should I take into account before I purchase an electric scooter? How fast will it go? What kind of mileage can I expect? How much do good quality transportation scooters cost?
I decided to take my search online first to learn as much as possible about electric and mobility scooters before spending any of my money and possibly making a bad decision. My goal was simple and obvious; get the best electric scooter available for the lowest possible price.
Here are a few tips I learned to avoid poorly manufactured electric and mobility scooters:
- Go with a brand name scooter. Avoid off-brands, no brands and clones.
- Avoid vendors who sell the off-brand scooters, no brand scooters and clones. Purchase from a reputable vendor.
- If the price sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
- Buy an electric scooter that comes with at least a 90-day warranty.
I also learned there is a huge price range among the various brands of electric scooters. I found that most electric scooters for kids sell between $200 - $400 dollars, while an electric scooter built for adults will usually command $300 - $1,000 or more. Just like everything else, the better the specifications and the more bells and whistles the scooter includes will definitely effect the final price.
The type of electric scooter that's best for you will depend mostly on how you plan on using it, along with your own personal preference. To help make your decision a little easier, be sure to check out some of the great websites online that Electric Scooter specialize in providing information and details about scooters. I'll follow this article up with another one later giving more of the technical details I learned during my search.
