Electric Scooters for Adults

You might have played with scooters as a child, but now that you’ve grown up and taken on new roles, it’s time to recognise the value of the electric scooter as a tool to help you fulfil your tasks and adult responsibilities.

The electric scooters of today are powerful and robust, equipped with impressive features to suit your needs. They have redefined urban mobility, offering a convenient and practical way to reach your destinations.

That said, even as a grown up, there is no reason why you shouldn’t use adult electric scooters for sheer excitement and fun!

Discover the benefits that await you when you use an e-scooter as your preferred mode of transportation. Here are the ways you can use an electric scooter as an adult.

Daily commutes

Commuting is probably the most popular motivation that drives our customers to seek electric scooters. They know the costs of driving to work or school add up and can become a financial burden over time. Public transportation is not much better either, often proving to be inconvenient.

If commuting is your primary concern too, a commuter scooter for adults offers an ideal solution. We have a good range of commuter electric scooters with ample power and battery capacity to take you around town. They are generally lightweight and portable, allowing for effortless storage and transportation. 

Our commuter e-scooters are manoeuvrable and easy to operate, which helps you navigate congested streets. Alternatively, you also have the option to discover new roads and paths to avoid traffic, making your daily commutes more flexible and enjoyable.

Errands and appointments

Electric scooters also provide a fun and easy way for you to run errands like getting a few groceries and picking up your meal deliveries. By the way, did you know you can save a lot on delivery fees – as much as $15 per transaction – when you use your scooter to pick up your order yourself? 

You also have the option to use your e-scooter to go around the neighbourhood or nearby towns. And when you have an important appointment, you don’t have to waste time circling the parking area for a good spot.

Leisure and recreation

Even though scooters have evolved to the powerful piece of equipment we know today, they have not lost the element of fun and enjoyment. Electric scooters are versatile, and after using yours to fulfil adult tasks and responsibilities, you can use it to chase thrilling and pleasurable activities.

Our all-terrain e-scooters are swift and powerful, allowing you to tackle off-road paths and mountain bike trails. They can conquer steep inclines, and some are equipped with high water resistance ratings so you can use them to play, rain or shine.

And you are free to play with your electric scooter in any way you prefer. If high-speed racing is not your thing, take delight in casual rides through the park or along the seashore, discovering nature trails and hidden gems along the way.

Physical fitness

Riding your electric scooter provides a moderate level of physical activity. While using it to completely replace your gym membership might be a stretch, riding an e-scooter has health benefits and offers an exciting way to stay active.

Riding elevates your heart rate and promotes cardiovascular health. It also helps you achieve improved balance and coordination. Plus, unlike high-impact activities, riding e-scooters is gentler on the joints. All in all, it is a great way to have fun, burn calories, and enjoy the outdoors.

Community and socialisation

Getting to know new people as an adult can be a challenge, but your electric scooter can open doors for you. You can join e-scooter clubs to meet fellow riders and enthusiasts. Through these clubs, you can form a community with like-minded individuals, create meaningful friendships, and take on new opportunities and adventures.

Not interested in joining clubs? You can still forge deep connections by using your e-scooter to visit your friends and family more often. Ditch the phone calls and messages; instead, hop on your e-scooter to spend quality time with your loved ones in person.

No matter how you intend to use your electric scooter, you will end up with better work-life balance from shorter commutes, easier and less stressful trips, and more time to pursue the things that you love.

Legalities

Before making your purchase, get to know the e-scooter regulations applicable in your area. Since they vary per state, take time to check what your local laws say about owning and operating an electric scooter.

For example, e-scooters are street-legal in Victoria, but using an electric scooter that is capable of exceeding 25 kph is not permitted. When riding, you must also adhere to a speed limit of 20 kph and follow the state’s specific rules and restrictions.

If you’re planning to commute within states with speed restrictions, it may not be practical to get a ludicrous ride. Instead, opt for an electric scooter with a top speed of 25 kph to ensure legal compliance. 

Then again, you still have the freedom to ride powerful and high-speed e-scooters as long as you stay within private property,

Purpose

Once you confirm that electric scooters are street-legal in your city, it’s time to assess how you intend to use your ride. If your main goal is to use it for daily commutes, you need a commuter electric scooter with a top speed that aligns with your state’s regulations.

Alternatively, if your needs involve long-distance trips, opting for a long-range electric scooter is ideal. On the other hand, if you’re primarily looking to use your e-scooter for adrenaline-pumping rides, consider getting an off-road or ludicrous scooter that is designed to handle steep inclines and rough terrain. 

It’s also possible that you may need a more versatile e-scooter that can do everything. If so, consider getting an all-rounder scooter (like the Segway-Ninebot MAX G2) that can take you from practical commuting to adventurous riding.

Safety 

Whether or not your electric scooter is capable of reaching ultra-high speeds, you need to keep yourself protected. In addition to investing in an e-scooter equipped with topnotch safety features, take time to select a high-quality helmet that is specifically designed for e-scooter rides.

Build Quality

Because you’ll likely use it frequently, it’s crucial to prioritise durability and superior build quality when selecting an electric scooter for an adult. Choose one that is constructed with heavy-duty materials and reliable components. Regardless of your riding preference or intended purpose, your e-scooter should be made well enough to withstand daily usage.

Speed

Speed is an important consideration that goes hand-in-hand with your riding purpose. If you are looking for a commuter electric scooter that complies with most states’ speed restrictions, we recommend exploring the Pure Air³ and Pure Advance lines from Pure Electric, which are designed to reach a top speed of 25 kph. 

On the contrary, if you are in search of an e-scooter to satisfy your need for speed, we invite you to browse our collection of fast electric scooters. We have rides that are capable of reaching exhilarating top speeds of up to 70 kph.

Range

If your main purpose is to use your scooter for short trips or quick errands, you’ll find that our entry-level and commuter scooters offer sufficient range to cover your riding needs.

On the other hand, those with longer commutes or extended routes need to invest in a long-range electric scooter. Our inventory includes long-range rides, such as the Segway-Ninebot P100SE that can cover up to 100 km on a single charge.

Portability

You might find yourself in situations that require you to carry or transport your electric scooter. These scenarios may include lifting your scooter upstairs, taking it with you on the bus, or loading it onto the back of a truck. In such cases, you need to choose a model that you can comfortably carry. 

We have a wide selection of lightweight and portable electric scooters, with some models weighing as little as 14.4 kg. Aside from a comfortable weight, remember to look for an e-scooter that has a straightforward yet secure folding mechanism to ensure hassle-free storage and transportation.

Weight Capacity

Lastly, it’s important to verify that your electric scooter’s maximum rider weight capacity is well-suited for your body weight. If you are on the heavier side, rest assured that we offer a good selection of electric scooters for heavier riders. 

Some excellent choices include the Apollo Phantom V3 and the Anyhill UM2, which can both support up to 136 kg of rider weight. 

As a helpful tip, when assessing the right rider weight capacity, add 10% to your body weight to account for any additional load like bags, extra clothing, and electric scooter accessories. So for instance, if you weigh 100 kg, you should get an e-scooter that is designed to support at least 110 kg.
