my Spa Shop-Articles

Buying an electric kick scooter had by no means crossed my mind. I was fully intent on shopping for a motor scooter.

It is the various types of electric scooters available that made me change my thoughts and purchase one.

Living in an apartment with no safe parking for a motor scooter was a problem. Coupled with that I had to get my motorcycle license. Honestly, that really was not a problem only a forgotten overhead to be added to the buying of a motor scooter.

My folding electric scooter solved both problems. I'll admit it took lots of research and time before I made the commitment and even then I was still a little unsure, till the day my Super Turbo 800 Watt arrived.

I got a neon green one, which is better than black, for a girls electric scooter, I think.

The great thing is it fits into the lift of the apartment block I live in.

Of course I park it in my apartment. It's not that big. I fold the handle bars down and it looks even smaller, in fact you hardly see it.

No license required. Yes, you read right. No license required to ride my scooter. Not all electric scooters fall into this category, but many of them do, so you may comprehend the popularity of them. Just verify your local laws.

If you think not needing a license is a good benefit, what will you say if I told you - no auto insurance required and no vehicle licensing charges to be paid, either.

These certainly helped in my decision making.

Maybe your interest has gone up a notch or two. Would I be wrong in guessing that your first query is "What speed do they go?"

That will depend on the type of scooter. Stand up ones like mine, 7 - 25 mph. That's about 12 - 40 km/h. My ST800 - sounds very motorcyclist doesn't it! - will do 22 - 25 mph with me on it. But I generally use the econo mode on my scooter so everyday cruising is 15 - 18 mph (24 - 29 km/h)

The larger sit down types do go faster and can run for further distances because of the advanced technology in there motors and batteries. Speeds of 35 - 50mph, with distance ranges between 80 - 100 miles are frequent for these models.

I think I ought to point out that there is something in between a stand up electric scooter and the sit down step thru type.

Electric Bicycle. Having seen so many of these in my few travels they are most likely the most versatile means of two wheeled electric transport.

They are often fitted with seats for children, carriers and side bags and they can tow small child trailers. Very good for parents where in many cases a car is inconvenient.

Would you like to know what else is nice about my scooter. I am not confined to using roads. Electric scooters and bikes are allowed in cycleways, cycle lanes and anywhere else a bicycle can legally go.

Obviously the larger motor scooter sized models have to observe the identical rules as motor cyclists.

When I was doing my research I discovered all models of electric scooters in use all over the place...

Students

Police - yes they use Segways

Camper van and RV owners

Inside large industrial factories

Scooter enthusiasts - many of those folks have 2-3 or more

And everyday people similar to you and me deciding to commute slightly differently.
