It has the basics likea front and rear light, the latter activating automatically when you brake to warn users behind you. There are also reflectors on each side to ensure safety from all sides.

The Segway Kickscooter E45E

Equipped with a 300W motor, which can go up to 700W, the Segway Kickscooter E45E electric scooter stands up to the excellent models of Xiaomi, the current market leader.

Equipped with a 10200 mAh and 36V lithium-ion battery, it allows you to make each of your short trips up to 25 km/h and has a nice range of 45 km, where most other models only offer 20 km.

9-inch solid tires are fitted to the wheels of the Segway Kickscooter E45E, ensuring you don’t get a flat tire along the way and therefore not to accumulate repair costs.

On the other hand, in terms of comfort, you should not expect handling as pleasant as with a scooter equipped with inner tube tires.

On the safety side, this model provides 3 independent brakes, E-ABS electronic technology and if wearing a helmet is not yet compulsory, we can only recommend that you order one with it.

The Urbanglide eCross PRO, the racing beast

Classic scooters not for you? Urbanglide thinks of perfectionists and offers a machine with a look as futuristic as its characteristics. The motor is no less than 800W compared to the standard 300W of most competitors.

Attention, the scooter will always be limited to 25 km/h, because it is the limit authorized in France. On the other hand, the power will allow start with a quarter turn and swallow the slopes as if they did not exist, while maintaining maximum speed.

Who says nervousness says increased security, and we are well off at this level. The large 10-inch inflatable tires provide good stability and the suspensions are there to absorb the slightest inconvenience from the road. Even small sidewalks can be passed.

The two headlights at the front are powerful and the rear light comes on automatically each time you brake. The big advantage of this model is undoubtedly turn signals on each side, non-existent on most other scooters.

Only real downside: the weight of course, with 23 kg under the scale. If that’s not too much of a concern for you, go for it.

Segway’s F40E, the best mid-range

With a market as young as electric scooters, you may be suspicious of models that are too inexpensive, doubting the quality of these. Meet the F40E, a mid-range that does a little more than a basic scooter.

At JVTech, we had the honor of testing it, and it did not steal its 4 stars. The major advantage is its 10-inch tires which differ from the standard 8-inch. This provides significant stability if you are a little apprehensive about starting the scooter.

Inflatable tires, unlike solid tires, dampen shocks a little without the need for suspensions which are very heavy. Believe us, it makes the difference where solid tires feel every shock in the arms.

The 350W motor is a bit above par, to be able to start quickly and climb slopes of up to 20%. The battery is announced at 40 km, but expect to turn around 25-30 km with nervous driving.

The SURPASS electric scooter is at 199€ during the sales

If this scooter has managed to find a place alongside competitors who are already well established, it is not only because it is inexpensive. Indeed, it demonstrates many qualities, making its price even more attractive.

• Autonomy of 25 km thanks to its 6 Ah battery;
• Side stand;
• 8-inch puncture-proof tires;
• Front LED headlight and rear light;
• Water resistance;
• Front suspension;
• Three speed modes;
• Maximum speed of 25 km/h thanks to its motor with a power of 350 W;

Nevertheless, who says entry-level, necessarily says small defects to be corrected.

We note, for example, a dashboard with little information. Indeed, impossible to find the speed of movement or the mileage there. In addition, you have to be light to be able to take advantage of its top speed. Indeed, if you weigh more than 70 kg, the scooter will struggle to transport you.

The Surpass 8 Pro is therefore more than enough for short trips or occasional trips.
