Have you ever seen an electric motorcycle or a scooter used in your city? We are sure that over the past years that number of people who could give an affirmative answer has grown significantly. Two-wheeled vehicles that are powered by electricity are being more commonly chosen by people as an alternative to a car or public transportation.

Even though the results of electrification of transport are already evident, many experts in the field have come to a consensus that electric vehicles (EVs) will take off in popularity and would be able to overtake regular scooters only after becoming truly affordable.

If you have experience riding e-scooters you are probably aware of the fact that they offer significant advantages over regular models. They have instant torque, great acceleration and come with a set of smart features that any urban commuter enjoys using. At the moment, it seems that they only need to become cheaper than regular ICE counterparts.

Today we would like to show you what manufacturers from India, Asia, Europe and North America offer in their budget-friendly lineups of electric smart-scooters. In an effort to see how good the most affordable models are we have put them head to head and analyzed key parameters and data, such as price, battery-only range, smart features, etc. to present to you.
