Today marks the day that we open our website and social media pages to the public. This day has been a long time coming, there has been a lot of sweat, blood and tears gone into this and we can’t believe today has finally arrived.
When we say blood, sweat and tears have gone into this we mean it. We test all of our electric scooters and there have been one or two minor accidents, which have led to minor injuries and a spot of blood or two!
Us here at Electric Scooters UK have a huge passion for saving the planet. One of our directors David has worked in the energy industry for over 10 years. He has seen a large increase in our carbon emissions and is keen to put his mark on the world to help reduce this. This is why he has teamed up with Paul who is also passionate about reducing his and the worlds carbon footprint one electric scooter at a time!
Electric Scooter Adult
Electric scooters are all the rage and are becoming increasingly popular with people from across the world. Adult electric scooters tend to be bigger and faster and then children’s electric scooters.
We have a large range of adult electric scooters from various suppliers. Our biggest and best adult electric scooter has to be the 1000w dual-motor off-road eco rider! This beast of an adult electric scooter can take you off-road with its 10-inch tyres, across various terrains and can reach a top speed of up to 45k/m per hour. It is restricted to 25km/h but you can easily take the restriction off and go as fast as you like!
As you have probably already guessed the 1000w dual-motor adult electric scooter is one of the fastest on the market. People who are lucky enough to purchase one of these bad boys can expect to travel distances of 45km. We took this scooter for a test run on the beach and we were very impressed with its speed and handling.
We also offer other adult electric scooters such as the 350w 8.5-inch tyre electric scooter. This adult electric scooter is for the more modest type of person who is looking to maybe have some fun, whilst on there daily commute to work. The maximum speed is 25km per hour and can travel up to 30km.
Fastest Electric Scooter
As time moves on electric scooters are becoming more and more powerful. A bit like technology things are moving very quickly within this industry. As quick as you buy the fastest electric scooter, as quick as a newer faster electric scooter will become available.
The fastest electric scooter we do is the 1000w dual-motor off-road eco rider. It comes with a 1000w 48v 13ah motor and reaches top speeds of up to 45km/h. If you are anything like us and you love to push your limits and go off-road you can do with this electric scooter. We have taken to extreme limits, it’s been to the beach, on tracks and off the beat n track. The scooter held its own the whole time and we absolutely loved it.
Children’s Electric Scooter
Children’s electric scooters are available. They are slower and less powerful than adult electric scooters. Our range of children’s electric scooters includes the Razor e90, which comes in either green or pink. These children’s electric scooters come with a top speed of 10mph, which is ample for any child who owns an electric scooter.
All of our children’s electric scooters come with rechargeable batteries and can last up to a whopping 80 minutes of cruise time. They are lightweight and great fun for all the family.
How Fast Do Electric Scooters Go
There are many factors that come into play when it comes down to the speed of an electric scooter.
These factors include motor size, wattage, power outage, tyres, terrain, weight, size etc. The majority of electric scooters go around 25km/h, this is a perfect speed and deemed safer in the event of an accident. Children’s scooters tend to be slower than this and range from 4 – 16 km/h.
It seems obvious and it is, the higher the wattage of your electric scooter, the higher the power and the faster you will go. In fact, the recommended motor power parameters are as follows:
- 1000 Watt + – Anything over 1000w is very powerful and should only be used by adults.
Are electric scooters legal in the UK?
Yes, electric scooters are legal in the UK. However, there are a lot of rules and regulations surrounding them and where they can be used.
At the moment it is illegal to use them on public roads, footpaths and pavements. Electric scooters can only be used on private land. As it stands electric scooters do not meet the same requirements as motor vehicles and this law is currently under review.
In certain areas in the UK electric scooters are being trialled out. They are available for hire in areas such as Middlesbrough, Oxford and soon to be London. the trial of hiring electric scooters is set to run for 12 months and if successful more schemes are set to be ruled out in good time.
