Coolest Electric Scooter Yet!

With the plethora of new electric scooters around, you might be wondering which one to get. In fact, you might still be wondering if it's a good choice compared to the much more classical bicycle. Here's a couple of pros and cons about the electric scooter and further down, I'll recommend a really great website to visit if you need a lightweight electric scooter.

Pros

They are really quick

Electric scooters go real fast, some models can go up to 18 miles per hour but most stay at around 12. This is almost as quick as a bicycle and in some cases even faster.

Smaller, lighter, and more portable than a Bicycle

If you live relatively far from your work, using a transportation mode like the bicycle can be difficult. You might have to pedal in the rain or heavy wind and it might discourage you in the long run. They are also usually difficult to park, bicycle racks being scarce in the big city and you could get your bicycle stolen or damaged. They also don't fit in most public transportation because of their size. Electric scooters, on the other hand, are small, easily portable (around 25 pounds) and they fold for easier transportation.

Easier and safer than electric skateboards

E scooters are very intuitive to use and almost anyone can pick one up and immediately start using it. Contrary to the E skateboard, there's a handlebar which makes it easier to keep the scooter under control and a rear brake to slow you down.

Cons

A little bit slower than a bicycle

Yes, even though the electric scooters depicted further down are really fast, you can always go a little bit faster on a bicycle. 

Scooters are nerdy

Scooters are a little bit on the nerdy side but hey, now they are electric, this is a whole other game! You might even attract peoples attention instead.

Now, if you've decided you want to try one out, I really recommend this one, it's called the Zoom Stryder electric scooter. It is very lightweight, at only 22 pounds, almost anyone can carry it around. They also sell all sorts of accessories to go with it like a carrying bag, a phone mount, and even a little kickstand. Shipping is free all across the United States and it comes with a one year warranty.
