When comparing scooters, the primary considerations are range, speed, and cost. You should also look at the maximum weight limit and ensure it’s safe to ride.

Our top pick: Carrera impel is-2 2.0
New for 2022, the Carrera impel is-2 2.0 offers the complete package of convenience, comfort, and power.
Every aspect is carefully designed, from the comfort-boosting, anti-puncture 10” pneumatic tyres to the quick-folding mechanism which allows you to fold the scooter down in seconds. It even has an IPX5 waterproof rating, so it’s prepared for British weather.
The powerful battery has an impressive range of up to 22 miles and there are 4 different levels of assistance plus a walking assist mode. So, you’ll always have the power you need.
Completed with a multi-functional LED display, there’s a lot to like about the Carrera impel is-2 2.0 Electric Scooter.
Ultimate comfort: Carrera impel is-1 2.0
Back in 2021, Carrera released their first e-scooter, the Carrera impel is-1. It was a big hit and got lots of 5-star reviews from our customers (check them out here).
For 2022, Carrera has given the is-1 an update in the form of the Carrera impel is-1 2.0. Keeping much of the design which made the is-1 so great, the is-1 2.0 comes with a few key upgrades.
Starting with the new 8.5”, anti-puncture, pneumatic tyres. Giving that added peace of mind, you won’t need to worry about a deflating end to your ride.
On top of this, the is-1 2.0 comes with cruise control. Simplifying the ride, it means you spend less time holding the accelerator and can cruise at a convenient speed.
They’re great upgrades to an already impressive package which includes an IPX5 waterproof rating, and we’re confident it’s going to be incredibly popular.
Power package: Indi EX-2 Electric Scooter
The EX-2 is top of Indi’s range of e-scooters – and it comes with a whopping 350W motor. Optimised with superior hill-climbing ability, it’ll easily conquer gradients up to 15% (which would leave most e-scooters struggling). 
It isn’t all about power though and comes with pneumatic tyres which create a smooth ride. Safety is also at the forefront of the design with a powerful braking system providing dependable braking power. Add to this a flashing brake light, front and rear lights plus reflectors, and you’ve got an impressive safety package! And like every e-scooter on this list, it’s rain and puddle-proof thanks to an IPX5 waterproof rating.
If that wasn’t enough, the e-scooter is available in two cool colourways, black or neo chrome.
Lightweight choice: Indi EX-1 Electric Scooter
The lightest of the options, the EX-1’s design is centred on practicality. Tipping the scales at only 13kg, it’s compact and can easily be folded down in seconds. Adding to this practicality, it has a recharge time of only 3 hours! 
This doesn’t come at the cost of performance, with a 250W motor providing speeds of up to 15.5mph and a considerable maximum range of 15 miles. There’s a choice of 3 riding modes plus a walking mode, and you can select the level easily using the multi-functional LED display. And (you guessed it!), it has an IPX5 waterproof rating too – perfect for riding in the UK.
Long-distance riding: Xiaomi Mi Pro 2
If you don’t want recharging to get in the way of a day of fun, then a larger range might be high on your list. The Xiaomi Mi Pro 2 can give you a huge range of 28 miles on a single charge, so you won’t have to worry about stopping mid-ride. 
When you do need to stop, the dual braking system has got you covered, with an electric brake on the front wheel and a large disc brake on the rear to shorten your braking distance. The 300w motor provides solid hill climbing ability, and the 8.5” pneumatic tyres are sure to keep the journey comfortable.
Flat-free: Segway Ninebot E45E
The Segway Ninebot is sure to keep you on two wheels, with its maintenance-free 9” tyres. These dual-density tyres are filled with foam to make sure you never get a puncture, so you can ride with confidence.
You can ride for longer too, with a powerful 10.2ah battery providing a maximum range of 28 miles from a single charge.
With a cruise control mode, 3-speed settings, and good hill climbing ability, the Ninebot is the perfect way to get about.
