It is thought a full charge for these scooters should cost you around 8p. They are also exempt from road tax and the congestion charge in London. Each of the three scooters shown here have an intelligent Regen-braking design. This allows the scooters to store a small amount of charge back into the battery when you decelerate which helps to slow the scooter down automatically.

The Elecscoot 2 is the lower powered of the three, but is perfect for those who just need a ride for short journeys. The scooter has a 1500 W brushless motor and is able to reach a top speed of around 37 mph. It can travel around 40 miles on one charge of its silicon battery. It takes between 2 and 8 hours to charge fully from mains electricity. The Elecscoot 2 can carry a maximum of 150kg and has both under-seat storage and a rear rack for you to store your belongings on. This scooter costs £1,959 to purchase.

The Elecscoot 3 has a lift out lithium battery which makes it more convenient for those who live in high rise building, or work in one. The scooter has a 2000 W brushless motor and can achieve a top speed of 30 mph. The Elecscoot can travel up to 30 miles on one charge, it takes around 2 hours to fully charge this scooters battery. The Elecscoot 3 can also carry a maximum of 150kg and has storage similar to the Elecscoot 2. This scooter costs £2,597 to purchase.

The Elecscoot 4 is the more powerful of the three scooters. The scooter has a DC 4000 W hub motor which allows the scooter to reach speeds of up to 60 miles an hour. The light lithium battery is large enough to allow the scooter to travel up to 100 miles on a single charge. It takes between 2 – 4 hours for the battery to fully charge. This model features a full battery management system which allows you to take control of the minimum and maximum voltage, amps and temperature for each cell. The Elecscoot 4 has a maximum weight capacity of 170kg and has under-seat and rack storage. This scooter costs £4,595 to purchase.

The E300 model by Razor is an electric scooter designed to be used by teenagers and adults. It achieves this by having a larger framework than some of Razor’s other models of scooter, along with wider wheels and a larger deck. The scooter can achieve speeds of up to 15 mph, making it an exhilarating ride for those old enough to handle it.

The E300 Razor scooter is powered by two rechargeable 12 volt lead acid sealed batteries, giving the scooter a combined 24 volts to power it. These batteries take 12 hours to charge from empty using the battery charger provided and as a full charge allows you a range of 9 – 11.5miles of usage or roughly 45 minutes of run time you may find it is on charge most of the time. The range though should allow you to have fun with the scooter when needed and successfully make small trips with it without incident, allowing you to go further in less time than walking and allow it to charge over night.

The high torque motor has a single chain drive which allows the scooter to run quite quietly. You accelerate the scooter by using the twist grip accelerator when needed, the scooter also has a hand operated brake to allow you to control it better. The front wheel has suspension and coupled with the 25 cm pneumatic tires the scooter should offer a smooth and stable ride.

The bike can be folded away to help it take up less space when not in use. Unfolded it measures 93 cm x 106 cm x 21 cm (36.6 in x 41.7 in x 8.3 in), whereas folded the scooter measures 93 cm x 46 cm x 21.5 cm (36.6in x 18.1 in x 8.5 in). The scooter itself weighs 52lb (23.6kg) and can take a maximum weight of 220lb (100kg). Due to the speeds protective gear is required when riding the scooter, and it is only suitable for those over 13/14. The scooter will need some assembly when delivered but instructions and the tools required are supplied.

The E300 Razor scooter is available for just £269.95 plus delivery.

If you’re in a city, getting around in heavy traffic is lots of hassle. Well, if you hate cycling in a city, but don’t want a car or motorbike, then these new UKEco Electric Scooters are worth looking at. On a single charge, the scooters can go up to 40 miles, and reach speeds of up to 30mph. Here’s the good bit, in the UK, there is no road tax to pay on an electric scooter, and it’s completely exempt from the congestion tax charge too!

Since the vehicle has zero emissions, you immediately become eligible for tax breaks that specifically relate to emissions! You will need to register the scooter with the DVLA (UK’s vehicle registration authority), and you will need insurance (a requirement for all motor vehicles in the UK), however, all of these fees are pretty low due to the low power of the scooter. Depending on when you got your UK licence, you might also need to take a Compulsory Bike Training (CBT) course to get the right licence for riding a scooter.

The scooters come in a large range of colours, including black/silver, blue/white, yellow/black, red/white, purple/white, green/black, orange/black and all black. To use a great phrase from the UK Eco Scooters website, the 2000W motor is roughly equivalent to a “50cc petrol scooter without a noise like a bumblebee on steroids”. The electric scooters are pretty much silent!

The UKEco 60v 2000watt Electric Scooters retail for around £1000, but UK Eco Scooters are currently running a special offer where the scooters are just £799.99.
