An electric scooter is a battery-powered vehicle designed for short-distance commuting. Unlike traditional scooters, it uses an electric motor for propulsion, making it eco-friendly, quiet, and cost-effective.

The range of an electric scooter depends on the battery capacity, motor power, rider weight, and terrain. Most electric scooters offer a range between 15 to 40 miles (25–65 km) per charge.

Charging times vary based on the battery size. A standard 36V–48V lithium-ion battery usually takes 4–8 hours to fully charge. Fast-charging models can reduce this time significantly.

Many electric scooters are water-resistant but not fully waterproof. Light rain is generally safe, but avoid riding in heavy rain or through deep puddles to prevent damage to the battery and electronics.

Electric scooters are available online, in specialty stores, and at major retail outlets. When purchasing, consider battery range, motor power, weight, and safety features to find the best model for your needs.

Regular maintenance includes checking tire pressure, cleaning the scooter, inspecting brakes, and charging the battery properly. Proper care can extend your electric scooter’s lifespan.

There are several types of electric scooters designed for different uses:

Commuter electric scooters: Lightweight and foldable, ideal for city travel.

Off-road electric scooters: Equipped with larger tires and stronger motors for rough terrains.

Mini or portable electric scooters: Compact and easy to carry, with shorter range and lower speed.

High-performance electric scooters: Fast and powerful, built for enthusiasts or long-range travel.
