How we chose the best electric scooters
Every scooter in this guide has been judged on the things that matter most during everyday riding:
- Ride comfort
- Stability and control
- Hill climbing performance
- Battery range
- Portability
- Build quality
- Safety features
- Overall value
Rather than focusing on headline specifications alone, we have considered how each scooter performs in real world riding.
A more powerful motor is not simply about acceleration. It makes climbing hills feel easier. Suspension is not there for comfort alone. It keeps your tyres planted on uneven roads for better control. Every engineering decision should improve the ride.
Best electric scooter overall: Air⁶ Suspension
Price: £399
If you are looking for the best balance of performance, comfort and value, the Air⁶ Suspension is our top recommendation.
Built on the proven Air platform, it introduces dual GlideMotion™ suspension front and rear, transforming the ride over rough roads and uneven surfaces. Paired with 10-inch enhanced-grip tubeless tyres, small bumps almost disappear beneath you, and you arrive feeling fresher after every ride.
Key highlights:
- Dual GlideMotion™ suspension
- Up to 45km maximum range
- 924W maximum motor power
- 10-inch enhanced-grip tubeless tyres
- IP65 water resistance
- Integrated indicators
- 21.4kg, the lightest Air⁶
For most riders, this is the sweet spot of the range. Powerful enough for everyday riding while remaining approachable and excellent value.
Best electric scooter for everyday riding: Air⁶ Pro+ Suspension
Price: £449
If your journeys are growing longer or your routes include more hills, the Air⁶ Pro+ Suspension adds meaningful performance without stepping into premium pricing.
With up to 75km of range and a higher-performance 1200W motor, it feels effortlessly capable when gradients appear or when you are carrying a backpack or the weekly shop.
Why choose it?
- Up to 75km range from its long-range battery
- 1200W maximum power
- Dual GlideMotion™ suspension

- 23.0kg
It is an excellent choice if you want more capability without giving up any comfort.
Best forward-facing scooter for confident handling: Escape Pro+ Suspension
Price: £499
The Escape Pro+ Suspension changes how you stand, and that changes how the scooter feels. Its Ultimate Riding Stance puts you forward-facing, looking squarely down the road ahead, with swept handlebars falling easily to hand.
Underneath, a strengthened steel frame, dual GlideMotion™ suspension and an enhanced tyre tread keep things composed when the surface gets rough. Our patented Active Steering Stabilisation System™ helps keep the steering centralised, dampening unwanted side-to-side movement so you can ride with confidence.
- Up to 60km range
- 1200W maximum power
- Forward-facing Ultimate Riding Stance
- Active Steering Stabilisation System™
- Strengthened steel frame and swept handlebars

Best long range electric scooter: Air⁶ Ultra Suspension
Price: £549
Long rides demand consistency as much as battery capacity.
The Air⁶ Ultra Suspension combines up to 90km of range with dual GlideMotion™ suspension, a 1200W motor and the Active Steering Stabilisation System™, giving you the freedom to ride further with the same composed handling from the first kilometre to the last.
You notice the difference when the road opens up. The scooter stays planted beneath your feet while the suspension quietly absorbs imperfections in the surface.
Best for:
- Longer journeys
- Weekend exploring
- Riders wanting fewer charging stops
- Maximum comfort

Features include:
- Up to 90km range
- 1900W maximum power, our most powerful motor

Best forward-facing value: Advance
Price: £549 (was £649)
The Advance introduced our forward-facing Ultimate Riding Position. Facing the direction of travel feels natural from the first push of the throttle and gives you a stable, balanced base.

- Up to 57.5km range
- 924W maximum power
- Forward-facing Ultimate Riding Position
- Pure Control™ steering stabilisation
- Folding handlebars, stem and footpads
- IP65, tubeless tyres, indicators and app lock

Best portable electric scooter: Flex
Price: £899
Not every journey starts and ends on two wheels.
The Flex is the world's most compact e-scooter. It folds down to fit a car boot, a train or a small space at home, and still gives you a forward-facing stance and up to 52km of range when it is unfolded.
It will take on hills up to a 19% gradient, and IP65 water resistance means a damp morning is no reason to leave it behind. Whether you are lifting it into the boot or tucking it under a desk, everyday ownership becomes noticeably easier.
It is ideal if portability matters as much as performance. See how it folds on the Flex discover page.
Best electric scooter for adventure: Escape Ultra Max Suspension (coming soon)

Are electric scooters legal in the UK?
