Electric Scooters for adults and teens

Adult electric scooters have become one of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to get around, explore your area, and enjoy the outdoors. They offer a more affordable and accessible alternative to cars, plus they're way easier to store, move, and maintain. Whether you're a weekday commuter or a weekend adventurer, there's an electric scooter for every kind of rider, so be sure to check out our full e-scooter collection: we're sure you'll find something you like. For riders who might still be on the fence about which model to choose, we've outlined some major spec and features that will help you narrow down your search for the ideal ride.

One of the most important specs for any e-scooter rider is range. E-scooter range is determined by a mixture of the scooter's battery capacity, motor power, weight, and riding conditions. In general, a bigger battery means more range, so if you need a long range electric scooter, be sure to look for scooters with a high battery capacity. Range specs are an estimate, so it's worth getting a scooter with more range than you need.

Nothing beats ripping down streets on a fast electric scooter. For riders who want thrill and excitement, a dual motor electric scooter is the ideal choice. But for those who are looking for a good commuter option, especially in cities with stricter rules and regulations about e-scooter specs, a 20 MPH electric scooter may be a better option. When trying to decide on how much speed and power you want, consider whether you need a commuter electric scooter or an electric scooter for off-roading and joyriding.

A big benefit of electric scooters is their portability, especially in comparison to cars and other motor vehicles. All non-seated models of GOTRAX e-scooter are foldable, and many of our seated options are partially foldable as well. For riders living in apartments or dorms, taking their scooters to work, or using scooters as a last-mile transportation option in combination with a car or public transport, a lightweight electric scooters or a foldable electric scooter is the perfect choice.

Most electric scooters are built for city riding. They come with either solid or pneumatic (air-filled) tires - solid tires resist punctures and flats, while pneumatic tires offer more cushioning on rougher roads. Some city commute electric scooters even come with suspension, which helps further absorb any rough patches in the road. Riders who want an off-road electric scooter, however, will want to look for a dual motor electric scooter with suspension, like our GX series. These scooters come with both front and rear suspension, wider all-terrain pneumatic tires, and more robust frames that can better handle the wear and tear of riding on varied terrain.

Every e-scooter for adults has a different weight capacity, so it's worth checking how much each scooter can carry to ensure that it suits your needs. If you're on the hunt for an electric scooter for heavy adults, consider one of our GX series scooters; the GX1, GX2, and GX3 have a total weight capacity of 300 pounds, so they're the perfect choice for bigger riders. While some of our lower power and lightweight adult electric scooters can also be a good choice for teens, we also offer electric scooters made specifically for younger riders. Be sure to check the minimum rider age on any model you're considering to make sure that it's the right fit.
