Perfect for city living, you can use the Segway G30Max to commute to and from get off work. You can travel at speeds up to 18.6 mph (I’d love to see you even try to go that fast), and the scooter folds up so you can easily carry it when getting in or transferring to a train or bus. Plus, this makes storage easy in a small apartment. The scooter itself weighs 41.2 pounds and has a maximum load capacity of 202.5 pounds.
Electric scooters are not only fun to ride, but they are a great way to help reduce your carbon footprint. On a single charge, you’ll be able to travel more than 40 miles from your starting point. If you need to commute further than this, I’d probably recommend a car.
The best electric scooter for commuting
The scooter battery takes about six hours to charge to 100% from completely dead. This means you can charge it in the office and always leave fully charged. The charging cable is built-in, so you don’t need to carry any bulky adapters wherever you go. Its front LED light features 2.5 watts of high brightness to increase your visibility to others and illuminate the road ahead of you, making night riding an option.
Featuring a sleek black finish, this scooter is suitable for arriving in the most professional office environments. The easy-to-use throttle on the right side of the handlebar allows the rider to glide smoothly over any paved road or sidewalk.
Picture this. It’s 80 degrees outside, the sun is shining brightly, and the sky is cloudless. You’re riding your new Segway to the beach, the ocean breeze blowing through your hair. Wrong. After all, safety comes first. In addition to scooters, Best Buy also offers a Segway helmet for $25. It’s comfortable, breathable and feather-light. You won’t even notice it’s there. Be safe when going out.
