Most popular electric scooters you can never go wrong with

Last Updated on May 17, 2023 by Matt

It is a good idea to look at the most popular electric scooters if you want to get one but you don’t know much about scooters.

The market is almost always right. A scooter that has sold millions of units must have something behind it, something that draws masses of people to keep buying it and recommending it.

This case study contains data from the biggest, most popular online electric scooter stores, both publicly available and one obtained by cooperating with some of them.

The research will provide you with the answer to the question of which electric scooters are the true best-sellers, trusted and loved by the public the most.

Some of them will surprise you. Many of them will be budget options, as that’s what most of us need, but some will be surprisingly expensive.

Xiaomi M365

The Xiaomi M365 is very likely the most popular electric scooter of all time.

Between the hundreds of thousands of units sold through the biggest online shops like Amazon, Target, Walmart, and AliExpress, the vast numbers of rental scooters in the fleets of Bird and Lime, and who knows how many sold in brick-and-mortar shops, it is the most well-known, best-selling electric scooter ever.

And it’s no wonder. It is a great budget scooter, with the quality, specifications, and performances of a scooter twice its price. If you’re curious about this classic model, check out my detailed Xiaomi M365 review.

Xiaomi M365 Pro

The successor to the most popular scooter ever, the Xiaomi M365 Pro addresses many of the faults and imperfections of the original model.

The updated version comes with drastically improved range, better battery and motor power, and improvements around the tires, which were the number one complaint about the original model.

I personally own this scooter, and I have nothing but great things to say about it.

You can check out my full review here.

Where to buy the Xiaomi M365 Pro from?

USA
The latest version of the Xiaomi M365 Pro, which is the Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter Pro 4, can be bought through Amazon.

Ninebot ES 2 / Ninebot ES 4

Segway Ninebot ES2, standing and folded, charging through an outlet on a wall
The Segway Ninebot ES2

Probably the biggest contender for the title, and the biggest challenger to the Xiaomi dominance, would be the Ninebot ES series.

It is entirely possible that this scooter line may be even more popular than the Xiaomi line, since the Xiaomi M365 Pro has been absent from the US market for a long time.

On top of that, the Ninebot ES series shines exactly where the Xiaomis fall short – flat tires. Ninebot ES 2 and ES 4 models are immune to them, since they come with solid tires.

The other part of the Ninebot ES family includes the ES 1 and ES 3 models. They are not as popular, since the ES 1 was the first and least performing model, and the ES 3 was basically just the ES 2 + the extra battery, and in many ways was just the transition model between the ES 2 and the ES 4.

You can see reviews of both the Ninebot ES2 and Ninebot ES4 to find out more.

The Ninebot ES 4 is available on Amazon.

Where to buy the Ninebot ES2 from?

USA
The best place to get the Ninebot ES2 in the USA currently is from Amazon. Check the official Segway store as well to make sure you are getting the best price possible.

Canada
The above Amazon link can work for Canada too, but for better efficiency, faster delivery, and smaller shipping and tax costs, you can get the Ninebot ES2 from the Amazon Canada listing.

Ninebot Max

While the Ninebot Max is not part of the ES series, it feels like it has learned a lot of the lessons from that line. In a way, it is the final, ultimate iteration in the Ninebot line.

And the market verifies that – it is already the best-selling, most well-accepted Ninebot model.

With a massive range and great motor power for a scooter in the almost budget category, it’s no wonder. It has been one of the favorite commuting scooters ever made. You can read the full review of the Ninebot Max to see why.

Where to buy the Ninebot Max from?

Worldwide
The best, most reliable way to get the Ninebot Max is through Amazon, although the official Segway store is also a place you should check to compare prices.

Canada
For Canada, the fastest and most reliable way to get the Ninebot Max would be through TekTrendy. Your scooter will arrive in a matter of days, sometimes even the next day, and there will be no other costs, neither shipping nor taxes.

Glion Dolly

Note: it is very likely that the Glion Dolly is discontinued at this time, and is no longer available in online stores. I recommend the Hiboy Max as a similar scooter and a great alternative to the Glion Dolly.

No surprises here, right?

The reason why the Glion Dolly has been so successful and sold as many units, is because it has consistently proven to be one of the most reliable, most long-lasting electric scooters for years now.

It will come with decent performances, although nothing out of the ordinary. You will not be winning drag races with this scooter.

But you can be sure that it will last you for years, without many defects or problems.

And that’s exactly why the market has responded to it the way it has. Check out the full review of the Glion Dolly if you are interested.

Where to buy the Glion Dolly from?

As usual, a great place to get the Glion Dolly from is Amazon. There should be shipping available to most countries.

Razor E300

Razor is definitely one of the top 5 most well-known and trusted names in the electric scooter world.

The Razor E series has had a lot of home runs.

The Razor Power Core E90 is the most popular electric scooter for kids ever made.

And Razor kind of makes scooters with smaller weight capacities, targeted mostly at either older kids, teens, or adults that don’t weigh much.

But they do have a great presence in that market.

The Razor E300 is their most popular choice for adults. It is one of the cheapest electric scooters for adults ever made.

While some of its specs will reflect the lower price, the quality will be surprisingly good. Read the complete review of the Razor E300 to find out more.

Where to buy the Razor 300 from?

Worldwide
The best place to get the Razor 300 from is Amazon for the US, and the Amazon UK listing for the UK and EU. The Razor store usually has good coverage of many countries, shipping times should be minimal, and the prices are as low as possible.

Razor E300S (with seat)
If you want to get the Razor E300, but with a seat, you will want the Razor E300S. This scooter can also be found on Amazon.

Razor EcoSmart

This iconic scooter is the most well-known seat and trunk electric scooter ever.

For some unknown reason to me, not that many brands and manufacturers provide the option for you to install a seat and a trunk on their scooters. It may be a bit harder to design and pull off, but I believe it would be of great use, especially to real-world adults that do lots of commuting, shopping, have back or leg pains, or all three.

This true adult scooter has sold in massive numbers, and owners love its practicality and how it makes their lives easier. See my detailed Razor EcoSmart review if you want to find out more.

Where to buy the Razor EcoSmart Metro from?

Worldwide
The best place to get the Razor EcoSmart pretty much everywhere in the world is Amazon. The merchant ships internationally, and you get all the safety, security, and great pricing that Amazon provides. The scooter is also available in black on Amazon.

Europe
In Europe, it’s best to get Razor EcoSmart from another Amazon listing, as the listing above may not ship to Europe sometimes. You should also check out Ride And Glide as an alternative, as they might provide the best deal at times.

GoTrax GXL Commuter V1 / V2

The GoTrax GXL Commuter 1, and its updated V2 version, have sold probably millions of units worldwide.

Veteran scooter experts will not be surprised in the least – this budget option surpasses every expectation you might have from a cheap scooter.

A top speed of 15 mph / 25 kmh, a range of 12 mi / 19 km, but only weighing 26 lbs / 12 kilograms, this scooter is the best when it comes to short to medium commutes and last-mile transport scenarios, which is what most of us need.

It also has one of the best waterproof capabilities, with an IP rating of IP54. Very rare for a scooter usually costing under $250. You can find out more in the complete reviews of the GoTrax GXL Commuter and the GoTrax GXL V2 Commuter.

Where to buy the GoTrax GXL Commuter from?

US, Worldwide
The former Amazon listing for this scooter now points to the listing of the GoTrax Apex, which suggests that the Apex is the successor of the GoTrax GXL Commuter.

Canada
Probably the only place besides Amazon that can deliver this scooter to Canada is the Canadian Amazon listing.

UK, Europe
If you live in the UK, or another European country, you can find this scooter at Amazon UK listing.

Swagtron Swagger 5 / Elite

While the Swagtron brand, and the entire Swagger series, are quite popular, the Swagtron Swagger 5 Elite model stands out. It has been their best-selling, most popular scooter, and budget users all over the world haven’t regretted making it their choice.

This is a truly great scooter, that combines a few specialties in a very affordable package, in a way that way more expensive scooters fail to achieve.

It is water-resistant with an IPX4 rating, has a 20 degrees climb angle, and can carry up to 320 lbs / 145 kilograms of load on its deck. Almost unheard of for a scooter that usually costs under $350.

You can find the Swagtron Swagger 5 on Amazon.

Hiboy Max

Hiboy Max in the night with all of its lights turned on

Sometimes I meet scooter enthusiasts that have never heard of the Hiboy Max, and that surprises me a lot.

This scooter is one of those rare models that are very affordable, extremely popular, and selling tons of units, and all of that while still keeping a very high rating.

For a scooter selling that much, such a low number of complaints, defect reports, and one-star reviews is a true achievement.

Besides the high quality, the performances of the Hiboy are very strong for a budget scooter, with a top speed of 18.6 mph / 30 kmh, and a range of 17 mi / 27 km. See the detailed Hiboy Max review to find out more.

Where to buy the Hiboy Max from?

Hiboy are one of those very few stores that ship everywhere, so you can find the Hiboy Max on the official Hiboy store. Also, use this link for a 5% off coupon, or enter the code “Escooter Nerds” on checkout.

Turbowheel Dart

electric scooter with many LED lights glowing in the dark

Lately, the Turbowheel Dart has become one of my favorite scooters.

The great build and quality, together with specs you get for that price are almost incredible. It is almost like a high-end scooter, priced as a medium one.

Top speed of 28 mph / 45 kmh, range of 30 mi / 48 km, a 600 Watt motor, a 15-degree climb angle, are only some of the goodies you will get from this scooter.

For under $1000, you will be able to get this mini-beast from the EWheels store.

The best, and probably only place, where you can buy the Turbowheel Dart from is the EWheels store. In the US and Canada, EWheels typically provide free shipping.

Turbowheel Swift

Turbowheel Dart’s younger brother, the Turbowheel Swift, is Turbowheel’s response to the Xiaomi M365 and the Ninebot ES2. It has been carving out its territory for years now, and it has already sold thousands of units to satisfied customers globally.

For the price of around $875, you can find this scooter at the EWheels store.

Turbowheel Lightning

side view of Turbowheel Lightning electric scooter on a white background

The big poppa of the Turbowheel series, this is one of the most powerful scooters that is still massively popular.

It is on the more expensive side, costing around $1690. But its price is more than justified – 40 mph / 65 kmh top speed, 45 mi / 72 km of range, and a monster 3600 Watt peak power dual motor.

It is especially great for heavier adults, able to carry up to 330 lbs / 150 kilograms.

As with all Turbowheel models, the best place to get it from for the best price and support, is the EWheels store, or you can see my Turbowheel Lightning / Lightning+ review.

Where to buy the Turbowheel Lightning / Turbowheel Lightning+ from?

US, Canada
The best, and likely only place, where you can get the Turbowheel Lightning or the Turbowheel Lightning+ from in the US and Canada is the EWheels store. Shipping is fast and it may even take just a day, but it may not be free in some cases.

Europe
The scooter is often not available in Europe, but there is a good chance that RideFatDaddy might have a few units in stock.

FFR Horizon

The Horizon is one of the most popular affordable commuters today, offering great quality, and tried-and-tested performance, for a very reasonable price of around $750.

This classic model has a very nice top speed of 25 mph / 40 kmh, coupled with 25 mi / 40 km of range on a single charge. A great all-rounder, great value for many.

No wonder it is one of the most popular commuters ever.

Mercane Widewheel / Mercane Widewheel Pro

There is no quite other scooter series as the Widewheel.

The signature solid, wide yet not very tall wheels, make this tough scooter look like Batman’s bike.

The community has responded very well to this model, and it has become one of the most intriguing, most widely used scooters in the middle price range. If you want to find out more, check the review of the Mercane Widewheel Pro.

Where to buy the Mercane Widewheel Pro from?

US
In the US, the best way to get the Mercane Widewheel Pro is through the FluidFreeRide store. Your scooter will arrive at your home in 3-5 days, at no additional cost.

Canada, Mexico
In Canada and Mexico, FluidFreeRide is still the best (and probably only) place to get the Mercane Widewheel Pro from. FluidFreeRide may cover the duty taxes, but additional shipping costs and other taxes will be left to you ($80 – $300).

UK, EU, Australia, New Zealand, Worldwide
In the UK, Europe, Australia, and pretty much everywhere else, again your best option for getting the Mercane Widewheel Pro is the FluidFreeRide store. As usual, FluidFreeRide will likely cover the duty costs, and you will be left with the additional shipping and taxes, which can range from $0 to $400, depending on where you are. If you’re in Sweden (or have the scooter shipped there), you will not pay any additional costs, as FFR have a warehouse in Sweden too.

Kaabo Wolf Warrior

side view of a black Kaabo Wolf Warrior electric scooter with red details leaning on its stand in a dark room

The Kaabo Wolf Warrior is the most popular power scooters of our day. It was one of the first offroad scooters, and it’s still one of the best offroad scooters ever made, without a doubt.

Its top speed of 50 mph / 80 kmh, and its range of 70 mi / 112 km, are a proof of that. Besides being the most powerful popular scooter, it is also one of the most powerful scooters, period.

There are not that many expensive scooters that are popular, but this scooter is an exception. It is usually priced at around $3195. You can find out more in my full Kaabo Wolf Warrior review.

Where to buy the Kaabo Wolf Warrior from?

Worldwide
In the last few months, the Kaabo Wolf Warrior has been available on Voromotors, and for a much lower price than what you would find elsewhere. As usual, ordering from Voromotors means stellar customer support, free delivery in the US (and also in Canada, the UK, and most EU countries on orders above $3000, which means this scooter gets delivered for free as well), and a shipping period of just a few days. Also, don’t forget to use the coupon code escooternerds for a $50 discount! Additionally, check the scooter’s listing at FluidFreeRide, as they may have a better deal at times (although keep in mind that some of the specs might have slight differences).

Kaabo Mantis

Another very well-received scooter by Kaabo.

The Kaabo Wolf Warrior’s kid brother, the Kaabo Mantis, is a lighter, more portable version of the power scooter, that specializes in climbing.

While its performances are also amazing, at 39 mph / 63 kmh top speeds and a 29 mi / 47 km range, where this popular scooter shines is its climbing angle, which is 35 degrees. That clearly makes it the best climber of all the popular scooters, and a great choice for a power scooter in general. See my full review of the Kaabo Mantis Pro if you’re interested in this scooter.

Where to buy the Kaabo Mantis from?

US, Canada, Mexico
Without a doubt, the best place to get the Kaabo Mantis in the US, Canada, and Mexico, is the FluidFreeRide store. As one of the most reputable online electric scooter retailers, they will provide free shipping within 3-5 days in the US, and 5-10 days for Canada and Mexico, with additional shipping and taxes costs between $80 – $300 (FluidFreeRide cover the duty taxes).

UK, EU, Australia, New Zealand, Worldwide
For the rest of the world, especially the UK, EU, and Australia, FluidFreeRide store is still the best place to get the Kaabo Mantis from. FluidFreeRide will probably cover the duty tax, but there can be additional shipping costs and taxes. In the UK and Europe, the costs and shipping times will be smaller, and in Sweden they will be non-existant (FFR have a warehouse in Sweden). A trip to Sweden to get the Kaabo Mantis from there may be an interesting option for people living close. In other countries, additional charges can range anywhere from $0 to $450.

Levy

diagonal view of a folded Levy electric scooter on a white background

Levy may not yet be as popular as some of the other scooters on this list, but it is surely getting there.

Coming from the Levy Electric brand, it is a very strong budget option with some unique design and features. They are the only scooter right now that comes with a removable battery, which can be very useful if you’re leaving or storing your scooter somewhere.

The Levy brand offers two models at the moment – the Levy standard model, and the Levy Plus. While Levy Plus is better value for money in my opinion, the standard model is more popular and has sold more units.

For a price of $499, the Levy standard model will come with a top speed of 18.6 mph / 30 kmh, a range of 15 mi / 24 km, an IP54 water protection standard, while only weighing 22 lbs / 10 kg. Very good balance of features.

Where to buy the Levy from?

US, Canada
At the moment, the Levy scooter is only available in the US and Canada. You can find it only at the official Levy store. They provide free shipping, but an additional tax cost of up to $50 may be calculated at checkout.

Macwheel MX1 / MX2 / MX3 / MX Pro

The Macwheel line is a very popular, established line of budget electric scoters. Sold in many big online retail stores, but through their own dedicated store as well, they have probably sold dozens of thousands of units.

Their models come at a very competitive price, while still offering great value for the money you pay. Check out the Maxwheel MX Pro review to learn more.
