Best budget electric scooter for delivery
I’ve put together this guide on the best electric scooters for delivery based on my interactions with people who have a delivery job.
Simply put, some scooters are better suited for the job than others. We will examine the best choices in detail, and see what makes each of them so good for people working in delivery.
EMove Cruiser – best electric scooter for delivery overall
If you’ve read several other guides on this blog, you might have seen this one coming.
Well, that’s because the EMove Cruiser is simply all that. It might be the best electric scooter in the world right now, and when it comes to using it for delivery, it just ticks so many of the boxes. In fact, it ticks pretty much all of them.
For starters, the range of the EMove Cruiser is 62 mi / 100 km, which is almost unheard of for a mid-price scooter. Simply brilliant.
The scooter boasts a single hub BLDC that can reach peak powers of up to 1600 Watts, which also vastly outperforms its peers with a similar price tag. As a consequence, the scooter can accelerate quickly, it can climb very well, and it will be able to carry loads of up to 352 lbs / 160 kg.
One of the most famous features of the EMove Cruiser is its IPX6 water protection standard. No other scooter has such a high rating, and the EMove Cruiser is the most waterproof electric scooter in the world right now. If you work in delivery in a rainy city, the EMove Cruiser will definitely be your best option, as other scooters can easily malfunction even at the slightest contact with water.
The 10-inch pneumatic tires, coupled with the adjustable front dual-form spring-loaded suspension and the dual rear air suspension, make riding this scooter a dream, and you will have no problems spending hours on it.
There’s also the option to add the seat if you feel like you need it, and you can also add the storage bag easily. Both of these accessories are custom-made for the EMove Cruiser.
The scooter is started by a key, so theft will be highly unlikely, especially if you lock it properly.
Simply put, the EMove Cruiser has no weaknesses when it comes to delivery. It literally fulfills every single need that a person working in delivery might have. See my full EMove Cruiser review to learn more.

Dualtron Thunder – best performing electric scooter for delivery
The Dualtron Thunder is a very powerful scooter, and for some folks working in delivery, it may be a bit too much. But, if you’re after the best delivery scooter that money can buy, and you also want to have a mean machine at your disposal, then the Thunder might make sense for you.
With a range of 75 mi / 120, battery life will pretty much never be a problem for you.
Also, the dual motors of the Thunder produce a combined peak power output of 5700 Watts, which will make any hill, incline, or weight you put on the scooter a joke for it. Performance is simply solved with this scooter, every aspect of it.
The scooter is very robust and it can easily support most accessories you might want to add to it. It has the option to have a custom-made seat installed on it as well. It comes with an IP54 water protection standard.
Since this is a premium scooter, you can choose to have it unlock only with your fingerprint, so security will also be very well handled.
And, last but not least, the 11-inch tires and the dual spring-arm suspension will provide a ride like no other, and even several hours a day spent on this scooter will be a fun and enjoyable experience.
Probably for most people, the price of the Dualtron Thunder will be prohibitively high. However, if that’s not the case for you, or if you simply want to make a substantial investment in the last scooter you will ever buy, then the Dualtron Thunder is worth taking a look at.

If quality is what you’re after, then you’ll probably want to go with the Inokim OXO.
The scooter will do a great job for your deliveries, as it has pretty much all the features needed for that. But even more than that, the scooter is so well-made, that you will probably end up using it for a lot more than delivery.
The Inokim OXO has a range of 68 mi / 110 km, so battery life will be more than handled.
The scooter’s strong build quality comes from each and every part being custom-made and designed by one of the best scooter design minds in the world, but also from the extensive testing and quality assurance processes that Inokim scooters undergo, and the result is one of the best-engineered scooters ever. As usual, such strong build quality brings excellent experience in every important aspect of your scooter ownership.
Because of the large 10-inch pneumatic tires and the dual suspension, the rides will be super-smooth.
With a weight limit of 265 lbs / 120 kg, and a climb angle of 15 degrees, the Inokim OXO outperforms the vast majority of electric scooters on the market today, and as we concluded before, both of those strengths can be very useful for delivery. The scooter will come with an IPX4 water resistance standard, so deliveries in some light rain shouldn’t be an issue.
The only weakness this scooter has when it comes to delivery is that it probably will not play well with some accessories. A storage trunk or a bag should fit it, but there are no known official seats available for it, and since its design is very unique, it will probably not fit the generic seats.
But other than that, every other aspect of the Inokim OXO will be nearly perfect when it comes to your delivery gig, and even more importantly, it will be an excellent premium choice after your shift ends. You can see my full review of the Inokim OXO if you want to find out more.

Ninebot Max – best budget electric scooter for delivery
The Ninebot Max is the most budget-friendly electric scooter that may still be of good use to someone working as a delivery person.
That said, I would only recommend this scooter to people working in delivery that are on a very limited budget. If your budget is less than $1000, then the Ninebot Max will probably be your best, and maybe even your only option, but even then, you will get barely enough range to cover a full day of deliveries, especially if you live in a bigger city.
The Ninebot Max has a range of 40 mi / 64, and, as we said before, that’s probably somewhere close to the lower limit of the range for a delivery scooter. The charging time of 6 hours is not too long, but it’s still not very useful if you run of out battery in the middle of your shift, so you will have to trust the scooter has enough battery to last you a full day.
Now, while the range of the Ninebot Max may be right at the border of the acceptable range for delivery, this scooter has many other features that make it an excellent choice for a delivery person.
With a 700 Watt motor, the scooter will have no problem climbing most hills and carrying you and your package throughout your city.
The IPX5 water resistance rating is one of the best in the game, and places the Ninebot Max in the top 3 most water-resistant scooters in the world, so deliveries on rainy days shouldn’t be a problem as well.
Also, the scooter has huge 10-inch pneumatic tires, that will do wonders for ride quality and stability, and you will be very comfortable spending a lot of time riding this scooter.
The scooter comes with an excellent app, which you can use to lock the scooter’s motor, and that will be very handy when leaving it outside.
Finally, the scooter has a very standard design and build, very similar to the most popular electric scooters out there, and most of the generic accessories, as well as the accessories made for the Xiaomi scooters, will fit it perfectly. Plus, the scooter is so popular that it has a host of accessories made especially for it, so finding a good seat, a large trunk, or a basket, should be no issue at all.
All in all, the Ninebot Max is probably the best electric scooter under $1000, and certainly the best scooter for deliveries under $1000, and even though its range makes the cut with a thin margin, it still makes the cut, and all of the other features of the scooter are simply brilliant for delivery. Check out my complete Ninebot Max review if you wish to find out why this scooter is one of the most popular electric scooters ever released.
