Electric Scooters are Stylish and Functional
The huge range of electric scooters we offer are stylish electronic equipment and our up to date range includes a variety of different brands of this new mode of transport. The most popular electric scooters perfectly combine style with a good maximum range and durability, a good maximum speed and a fast charge time. There are a huge range of e scooters out there with an array of options, however for most the perfect electric scooters combine the aforementioned specs well.
Environmental Impact of an e-Scooters for Adults
Electric scooters cost the carbon it takes to make them, then they spend every other moment of their lives giving back. They don’t emit gasses or harmful toxins, they don’t use oil or other chemicals taken from the earth, and they don’t use fossil fuels making them the perfect option for a greener lifestyle
Put together, this makes eScooter a wonderfully versatile, environmentally friendly product that can be taken anywhere you go. From the moment electric scooters are produced, they give back and this new mode of transport perfectly combines style and a greener lifestyle.
E-Scooters – Maximum Speed and Maximum Safety
Generally speaking the maximum speed of eScooters is around 25kph, a maximum speed of 15.5mph – something not possible on a kick scooter. Some electric scooters have a higher maximum speed and some are even hacked to achieve speeds in excess of double this. The brand maximum speed however will likely be around this and is perfect for a comfortable journey. However, though there is no Irish legislation regarding the maximum speed yet it is thought that 25kph will be the maximum speed these e scooters will be allowed to go and provides maximum safety alongside a good pace to get around. This maximum speed would bring the e scooters in line with a moderate bike speed and has been used as a maximum speed in other countries such as Israel and Australia. Our range of eScooter has a variety of speeds, details are available on the product page., though there is a general cross brand maximum speed with e scooters of 25kph.
Air Filled Rubber Tyres vs Solid Tyres
Scooter tyres vary in their type, though there are two common options – air filled tyres and solid tyres.
Air filled rubber tyres tend to provide a better ride and more roll and overall offer a more comfortable journey. Solid tyres tend to last longer and don’t suffer from blow outs. Many of the e scooters that provide an award winning design will use the air filled rubber tyres as they provides a better ride and is more efficient as it provides more extra free roll and in turn increases the maximum range and is also a lot more grip when riding close to the maximum speed. This is why the most popular eScooter tend to use them. Between these tyres and the double braking system offered on many e scooters, you can be sure you have maximum safety alongside a huge range and can choose the perfect electric scooter for your needs.
Maximum Range of Electric Scooters
The maximum range of a modern eScooter varies quite widely depending on the scooter model you go for and also depends on the speed you drive at – if you constantly do the maximum speed that will cut the range for instance. The maximum range for smaller children’s scooters may be just a few miles, while the maximum range of some of our more premium products can be up to 20 miles. Durable electric scooters such as the Wolf Warrior have a maximum range of up to 70 miles, and while these are perfectly executed and perfectly combine style and function they are extremely expensive and we don’t stock them. To have such a high maximum range, you also require a large battery.
On average the maximum range is 12 to 20 miles depending on the maximum speed you drive – making them the perfect option for a suburban commute. In terms of speed, the most popular eScooters average a speed of around 15mph with some reaching a speed of up to 25 mph, though this top speed will impact on the maximum range if you continuously reach it. A maximum range of 15 miles is enough for people in most cases and far faster than a kick scooter. People living on the edge of a city they commute into will find this maximum range is perfect and perfectly combines style and function. Hopefully this will give you a good idea of maximum range and speed and what to expect before you order a product. This will help ensure you order the perfect item from our up to date range of electric scooters to meet your needs.

Charge time and battery life for electric scooters is getting better as batteries do. The perfect electric scooter would charge in minutes, but as of yet this is not possible. Typical charge time is anything from 3 to 8 hours, though longer time frames will be for extremely large batteries and long range e scooters. Different factors impact on charge times greatly as they do on battery length and maximum speed. For example, the charge time on a lithium-Ion batteries for example are faster than most alternatives and have a faster charge time. With planning charge time doesn’t have to be a factor, especially when discussing scooters with longer maximum speed and maximum ranges that you don’t drive continuously a maximum speed. This is the same for all bikes electric scooters. To ensure you get the best from charge times always do the following:
1. Improve charge times and battery life by using the original charger
2. Improve charge times by not draining the battery and not doing maximum speed for all of your ride
3. Improve charge times by ensuring the e scooter is dry
4. Improve charge times by letting it cool off before charging
5. Improve charge times by charging until 100%
6. Improve charge times by unplugging when charged and no overcharging
7. Improve charge times by waiting for a few minutes after a charge before riding.
If you follow these tips you will reduce charge time and ensure your charge time stays low for as long as possible due to battery care. A lower charge time will ensure you use your scooter more and prevent anxiety due to charge time as is the case for all electrical and electronic equipment.

Getting Started with eScooters
It takes time and practice to get used to riding a scooter, even though it is easy to use. It is just like riding a bicycle. However, it is easy to drop a heavy scooter the first time you drive it on the street after home delivery.
It is vital to find a safe place for practicing, especially if you are a beginner or someone who has never ridden a scooter in several years. Choose a large practice space with little to no traffic to enjoy these items. The best choices are back roads and parking lots.
Avoid uneven terrains, such as bike lanes or paths, if you are still improving your scooter riding skills. If you are interested we do stock electric bikes too.
You need a large area to learn how to travel on your scooter. And make sure there is no traffic and obstacles in that area.
Basic Steps
To ride your scooter, flip the latch at bottom of the steering column and unlock the scooter. Then, raise your scooter in a full, upright position.
Press the on switch to power up your scooter. If your scooter has an LED display, go through the information, especially the life indicator of the battery and current speed.
You will find the handbrake on the handlebars of these items. The brakes of most scooters are pretty sensitive. So, go easy on your scooter brakes until you get used to your new scooter.
You will use the throttle to reduce or increase the power and speed. To accelerate on the scooter, just hit the throttle ,which is the case for all the top brands our range includes.
Use the foot or hand brake to stop your scooter. Once you reach your destination, do not forget to power off your scooter.
Then, fold your scooter back up and engage the latch.
Practice with a Partner
Do you know an experienced friend? Your friend can give you some pointers, so it is now time to call your friend. In fact, your friend can teach you the basics during practice, so practice with your friend a couple of times.
E Scooter Safety
Wear a helmet no matter who you are, where you are riding, or who you are with. Do not stop protecting your head. Our favourite helmet is the Pro-Tec full coverage. It is a tough helmet. It has a moisture wicking liner and an extensive vent system to ensure you stay nice and cool during your trip. It will protect you during a ride.
Clothing
Apart from the head gear, remember to put on protective clothing. The clothing protects you in case of a fall, so ensure it covers your legs and arms. The recommendation of pros is for both beginners and kids to wear knee and elbow pads. If you are interested we stock a selection of electric scooters for kids – click here and check them in your web browser.
Electric Scooters and Charging
Make sure your scooter is fully charged before you take it out for a spin. Learning how to charge your scooter is easy. How? Read the user’s manual. Some models have a 1 or 2 hour charge time and for others the charge time is overnight. Prepare to charge your scooter ahead of time and know your charge time.
Brakes
The brakes of some models eScooters for adults, are very powerful. In some cases a double braking system is used and this can be quite sensitive. That is why you need to familiarize yourself with the brake system before you take a trip on your scooter at maximum speeds.
Pace Yourself
It is tempting to rev up the throttle to see what your scooter is made of. As you learn how to travel on an e scooter, do not shoot for the top speed. It is a must to improve your riding and braking abilities before shooting for the max speed.
Balancing when moving is easy, so this may surprise you during your first ride. However, it takes time and more practice to learn to balance as you increase the speed.
In Case of an Accident
Even the most skilled scooter riders fall sometimes. Do not panic if you are about to fall. But, do not grab the throttle. Grabbing the throttle may worsen your situation.
After letting go of everything, jump away from your scooter. Avoid protecting your scooter. You need to get away from the danger as fast as possible.
Mileage
Keep a close eye on the mileage of your scooter and the battery life indicator during your ride. Read the user’s manual of your scooter to know the maximum range capabilities of your scooter. Pack your scooter and head for home if you are close to the maximum mileage range or the battery life is running low. Ignoring them means you will have to push your scooter all the way home. You definitely do not want to push your larger, beefier model. Pay attention to the maximum range.
