I didn’t buy an off-road scooter because I suddenly got interested in serious trail riding. It was actually much less exciting than that. My six-year-old daughter got bored with the paved path near our house. Every time we passed one of the dirt trails, she’d point at it and ask why we couldn’t go that … Read more
Electric Scooter with 50 Mile Range The first time I rode a scooter marketed as “50+ mile range,” I made it eleven miles before the battery indicator dropped from three bars to one.

The choice seemed obvious. At least that’s what I thought. A few weeks later, I learned something that every electric scooter … Read more
