1. mischellewatkins.com Razor is a popular brand in the scooter league especially for teenagers, and younger children too. Adults are only beginning to appreciate the compact and versatile nature of this great toy. There are electric Razor scooters especially designed for Adults, but the teenagers grew quickly using that adult machine for advanced tricks. Bikes of the future-that's what we would have called them when I was growing up!
2. MischelleWatkins.com Are you going to e talking to friends and family about your investment? Although this electric scooter isn't the same as buying a car, it can be a big investment for you so you want to get as much good information as you can from anyone you know who either already has an electric scooter, or who knows about them inside and out - maybe you know a mechanic who does repair work on them or a company owner who sells them or a particular brand?
3. mischellewatkins.com What do you want your electric scooter for? Transportation to and from work, fun, or competition? If you are buying an electric scooter for work then take your route travelled to and from your destination into consideration - Are there hills or inclines? Will you be able to keep up with the flow of traffic in that area? Can you plug in your battery at work so that you don't run the risk of getting stranded on the way home? Will you need a second battery back-up to make the distance a safe one? If you need to make a repair - emergency or otherwise, is there a repair kit that you can carry with you? Will someone show you how to use it? Is there a high ratio of warranty work done on the model you are looking at? How does the company or manufacturer deal with returns or complaints? How does the model you are looking at compete with the other electric scooter models?
4. mischellewatkins.com Are you a sucker for the newest? Unless you notice significant improvements, don't jump on a bandwagon to be 'the first' buyer in town simply for the reason that electric scooters are relatively new on the road and because of their status as eco-friendly, easy maneuverability, inexpensive to run, their numbers will only increase, so give a new model time to be road tested before you jump up and down to be first on the block to own one. Expensive repairs, warranty issues and mechanical problems could be your reward if you get into too big a hurry to get one.
5. mischellewatkins.com Electric scooters are more safe than bicycles. They are heavier and absorb the brunt of an impact in a crash better than a bicycle, they get you around quicker and easier than a bus or car and parking is a breeze! They are less inviting to steal because of their weight. For the feel of a Mercedes, look for one with power, speed and the smooth ride. Also notice if it has wide wheels and a double hydraulic suspension. Rain Capes can be used in 'iffy' weather to cover you and your electric scooter for a more comfortable ride. Ask about seat comfort, and seat springs. Since the front and rear suspension helps to make your electric scooter competent for going up medium hills and riding along trails, you'll want to ask about that too. And take a test ride that goes further than 10 KM. Ask what "wear" parts, like bike-sprockets and V-brakes have to be replaced - if any - and how often, because hub motors virtually eliminate many of these issues.
