The best electric scooters 2021: e-scooters for every budget: wheelfuture


1. Pure Air

The first electric scooter you should consider



SPECIFICATIONS
Top speed: 15.5mph
Range: 18 miles
Weight: 16.5kg
Folds: Yes

It's an entry-level electric scooter that sits below its big sibling, the Pure Air Pro, in a few different ways - but, thanks to its low price, the Pure Air sits above the Pro in this list of the best electric scooters.

The Pure Air has the same top speed as most of the scooters on this list, and it's got a fair range if you don't drive it too fast. It's also sturdy, safe to ride and decked out in lights and reflectors.

We found the Pure Air safe and comfortable to ride for the most part, and well worth your money if you're looking for your first electric scooter, though experienced riders might find it enjoyable too.

2. #1 Kaabo Mantis: wheelfuture


The base model Mantis is famous for value and thrilling performance. We thought its days on top might be numbered when the Apollo Ghost arrived on the scene, but the Mantis’ 46.9 kilometers of real-world range, low price and blistering performance put it on top of this value intensive list. Infamous for stem issues on early units, the entire Mantis product line pulled a heroic worst-to-first maneuver in 2020, with an updated super firm stem design. The result: an incredibly well-rounded, easy to live with, everyday, wicked fast, do-it-all scooter.

3.Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter Pro

A reliable, affordable electric scooter for everyday commuting



SPECIFICATIONS
Top speed: 15mph
Range: 27 miles
Weight: 14.2kg
Folds: Yes

This is the successor to the original Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter Pro listed above. The Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter Pro (better known as the M365 Pro) is a little heavier than its predecessor, but its 27-mile range is a major improvement, and makes it one of the best electric scooters for regular commuting without the need for charging every couple of days.

The Mi Electric Scooter Pro's brakes have also been improved for quicker, safer stopping, and the slightly wider deck makes it easier and more comfortable to ride. Balancing on an electric scooter will always take practice, but having more space for your feet makes the learning curve a little less steep.

The only real disadvantages of the Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter Pro are that it's not the prettiest electric scooter on the block, and its brakes aren't as impressive as Segway's, but you'll be hard pressed to find a better electric scooter so affordably priced.
