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 – If you’ve been in any medium to large city lately, you’ve likely seen rental electric scooters littering the sidewalks and zipping by you as you walk the streets.  Perhaps you’ve even used one.  While they are rather annoying for pedestrians, they are an efficient way to get around cities, and quite a bit

REVIEW – We recently completed a 5.5-month world cruise with a couple of extensions in the Baltic.  One thing that stood out to us in Europe, and especially the Scandinavian countries, was the huge number of bicycles and scooters – electric scooters.  Most were the rental variety, like Lime and others, but wow – scooters

REVIEW – My 7 year old son and all his friends have scooters that are way cooler than what I grew up with. Back in my day, a scooter was just a skateboard with a handlebar bolted to it so I jumped at the chance to review the 5th Wheel M2 electric scooter to see

REVIEW – Unless you’ve not walked around in a city or college campus town in a while (I know, there’s been a pandemic and all), you’ll know that electric scooters are a thing. There are companies that rent them, and there are many companies that sell them directly to end-users. One such company is ScootHop,
