What is an electric scooter?
A form of micro-mobility, an electric scooter is a stand-up scooter powered by an electric motor. It has rapidly seen an increase in popularity across the world due to their convenience, eco-friendliness and low operating costs.
How do I choose the right electric scooter?
Design
While we know that the main purpose of the scooter is to get you around, that doesn’t mean you can’t ride in style. Some scooters will come in a range of colours and brands tend to imprint their own unique design on their products. It also gives you the opportunity to harness your own creative skills by giving you the chance to show off your own personalised style.
Weight
Weight is an important factor to consider depending on what sort of use you want to get from your scooter. They tend to weigh on average 12kg but can vary from 7kg to 20kg. If you’re someone that will be carrying your scooter for extended periods of time then a lighter weight would be more ideal for you.

Brakes
Brakes are an essential part of the e-scooter and are necessary for staying safe and in control when riding an e-scooter. Electronic Scooter brakes fall into 2 different categories: mechanical and electronic.
Mechanical brake systems rely on a physical braking mechanism to slow the e-scooter down.
Electronic braking systems use the motor to brake the e-scooter and include electronic and regenerative braking systems.
While mechanical systems offer stronger braking, an electronic braking system don’t require regular adjustments or maintenance.
For safety reasons, we recommend that you an e-scooter that has a combination of electronic and mechanical braking systems just in case one fails.
Tyres
Lighting
E-Scooter lighting is an important feature in allowing riders to stay visible at night and generally many scooters will include at least one LED headlight and a brake-activated tail light.
Price
Warranty
Warranty is an important aspect to consider when purchasing an electronic scooter. It ensures that consumers are covered if the product they purchase has a defect. At Panmi, all Segway-Ninebot products are covered by a 12 month warranty.
