REVIEW – One of the perks of being a Gadgeteer is getting to try out a variety of electric scooters. I’ve tested (or personally bought) a wide assortment of them so far ranging from heavy 30+ mph models with off-road tires and suspension to very compact and light versions with equally small range and weak […]

REVIEW – I was excited to test out one of those Electric Scooters that one sees almost everywhere nowadays. However, I was not aware of any that support a 250-pound rider. The Caroma E68 PRO Electric Scooter not only supports 250-pound riders but exceeds that supporting riders up to 265-pounds. Read on to see how

REVIEW – Electric scooters are all the rage among city commuters.  They are generally light, portable, powerful, and efficient.  I’ve tried several, and as someone over 6 feet tall, I often feel cramped.  And with height comes weight (190 lb, in my case), and with weight comes a need for power. Enter the InMotion S1

REVIEW – I reviewed my first scooter this year, and I’ve had fun riding it up and down my road. I thought it would be a fun way to ride to the mailbox every day since it’s about a quarter of a mile from my front door. The only problem is that I sometimes get

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
