Buying an electric scooter: how to find your model

NEXT Mojito electric scooter

Your electric scooter must match your ways, your charging space and your body size. A long equipment list helps little if you can't carry the battery or if the driving time becomes too long in everyday life. With these points you prepare a targeted consultation.

Write your needs on one page

Record day distance, gradients, luggage, ride requirements and your available parking space. Complete your driving license and whether you want to drive in winter. Prioritize three requirements that you cannot do without. This allows the selection to be narrowed down sensibly.

Clear the vehicle category first

An electric scooter with seat can fall into different vehicle categories depending on the design. Speed alone does not fully describe the prerequisites. For the specific offer, let us explain which rules apply to ID, control sign and traffic areas. Our Swiss Roller Guide Helps with the classification.

Practically play the load before buying

Is there a suitable power connection available at the parking lot? Is the battery intended to be removed? Check weight, locking and handling. A large battery can be useful for longer distances; however, for stairs and a daily carrying distance, size and weight must fit you. Ask also for charging time and the right charger.

Check more than acceleration during test drive

  • Can you reach brake levers, switches and mirrors comfortably?
  • Can you stop, rank and pick up without feeling insecure?
  • Does the sitting position fit with your usual jacket and bag?
  • Can you read display and control displays well?
  • How does the vehicle behave on a typical, permissible route for your use?

Test only with appropriate driving permission and after the instruction. Pre-examine the date and availability of the desired model.

What matters after the purchase

Ask about maintenance plan, spare parts supply and the procedure in case of a defect. Let the warranty conditions for vehicle and battery show you in writing. A general year does not yet answer which parts, mileage limits or requirements apply. Compare also the total cost including accessories and possible financing.
