Electric Scooter Fires – Common Causes Of Fire & Battery Failure.A Guide to Electric Scooter Controllers.The obvious first choice should be which brand of scooter do you buy. Well, it depends significantly depending on what you intend to use the scooter for. Brand of scooter is important, because ultimately the brand will also to a degree dictate quality, ease of repair, getting spares, warranty and more. There’s a simple conclusion to be drawn here. When choosing a scooter brand, be wary of lesser known / generic chinese scooter brands – primarily because they aren’t likely to have the same level of support if things go wrong. The internet is agast with rebranded generic chinese scooters which might look good on paper but, will undoubtedly suffer from quality control issues & difficulty in getting parts. Whilst not all unpopular brands are bad (in fact some lesser-known brands like Bronco Motors make exceptionally high-quality scooters).īuying a POPULAR brand that is established is generally your best bet. Different brands offer a different range of scooters – some popular scooter brands like Xiaomi tend to manufacture small, low cost scooters suitable for general all round use. Other popular brands such as Dualtron make a wider range of scooters from lower performance, high-quality scooters through to high-performance scooters.


The key things you’ll want to look for include: Some of the most popular scooter brands include Segway, Ninebot, Dualtron, E-TWOW, Mercane, Emove, Bird, Unagi, Pure Air, ZERO, Weped, Turboant, Gotrax, Glion, Razor, Reid, Xiaomi, Kaabo, Carrera, Apollo, Swagtron, Hiboy, Inokim, Solar AND MORE. The most obvious thing to avoid is unbranded products. Ultimately, anything that is a replica or clone or carries no brand should be avoided. Unbranded scooters may be poor quality, have untested components, be dangerous to ride etc. Unbranded scooters are generally easy to spot on Amazon and eBay – you’ll often see scooters and listings where the branding is missing, or, where the photos show no clear scooter brand. Unbranded scooters should ideally be avoided, you won’t know if what you are riding is safe, nor are you likely to be able to get spare parts or repairs – that means, once it’s broken it’s broken.
