REVIEW – Several years ago my vehicle suffered a mechanical failure stranding my family at a campground at the north end of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel. It was an easy fix, but the nearest auto parts store was miles away with no bicycle, taxi, or ridesharing available. A park ranger took me to […]

REVIEW – Having purchased or reviewed quite a few electric scooters now, I’m getting a pretty good idea of what I want in a good scooter. I definitely want enough power and speed to not feel slow and take forever to get to my destination. My most frequent routes cover hills and are usually 10-20

REVIEW – I had a ton of fun reviewing the Yadea ElitePrime electric scooter.  Since then, I have been looking for a scooter to let me go faster than 19mph.  I know there are some scooters out there that can easily hit 40-plus miles an hour.  I also know that I would be stupid enough

REVIEW – Ever since I got to rent one of the electric two-wheeled scooters in downtown San Antonio, I have always wanted to have a scooter.  It is so much fun to zip around on those things.  In the past year or so, the amount of electric scooters that have shown up on the market

REVIEW – We’ve all seen kids of all ages (including myself) scooting around on a variety of kick scooters for a number of reasons: they’re fun, it’s easier and faster than walking, and … did I already say they’re fun? While our own child is still too small to scoot, I have a roster of

REVIEW – Did you ever ride a scooter as a kid? Balancing on one leg while kicking with the other to make yourself fly down the sidewalk was a lot of fun and good exercise. Now imagine that scooter has an electric motor and can go up to 19 miles per hour. That’s what Hiboy

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed one other electric scooter for this site, and it was honestly disappointing.  It had a cool design, but really lacked the power to get around.  This one is different – lots of power, comfort, and safety, but in a bit of a bland package.  What is it? The Gotrax G6 is

REVIEW – Electric means of conveyance are growing in popularity, with the electric scooter market expected to grow from $37 to $79 billion between 2023 and 2030.  With some many companies jumping into this booming market, finding the right scooter in a sea of options can feel daunting.  Fluid has brought to market the Mosquito

REVIEW – Most urban and suburban areas are awash with scooters, both privately owned, and in many cities there are fleets of rental scooters strewn about like a hurricane had just hit. I am just old enough to be from the generation prior to peak scooter popularity (all the kids were scooting around on Razor

REVIEW – We’ve reviewed quite a few electric bikes and electric scooters here on The Gadgeteer and I’ve yet to review one myself because I don’t really have a place to ride them where I live without transporting them to another location which isn’t convenient. When I was offered the HOVSCO HovDash folding electric scooter

REVIEW – Can an electric scooter really go 45mph? That was my first question when I was asked to review the Varla Eagle One Pro All Terrain Electric Scooter. But, after receiving it, I quickly learned that there was more to this E-scooter than just speed. So let’s check out what else makes it unique.

REVIEW – Electric scooters seem to be everywhere these days.  Unfortunately, that is mostly lost on me because I exceed the max loading weight for many of these consumer scooters.  But…Inmotion recently announced its new Climber model with dual motors and a max weight limit that I fit into!  I’m definitely pushing the limit, so

REVIEW – I’ve already got one EV parked in the garage. I enjoy the convenience of charging at home and the thrill of strong acceleration. This time I’m scaling much smaller with the Atomi Alpha Electric Scooter. My EV fleet has now increased by one. What is it? The Atomi Alpha is a sleek lithium-ion

REVIEW – While on vacation several years ago, my car lost a belt idler. Miles from the nearest auto parts store left me few options other than begging for a bicycle, bumming a ride, or calling for a VERY expensive taxi ride across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel. Thankfully a park ranger had mercy
