• Model · 25 mph Fluid FreeRide CityRider The Fluid Freeride CityRider is the mid-band commuter this catalogue keeps pointing people at when they arrive looking at something twice the weight.
• Model · 40 mph Mercane MX60 The Mercane MX60 is a 41 kg dual-motor scooter whose real story is the gap between what it can do and what an owner will do with it daily.
• Model · 70 mph Rion RE90 The Rion RE90 is the lightest genuinely fast electric scooter, built in small numbers with almost no weather sealing and a six-month warranty.
• Model · 15 mph Segway Ninebot ES3 The Ninebot Segway ES3 was discontinued in 2021 but is still traded heavily used, and it remains a genuine argument as a first electric scooter.
• Model · 60 mph Weped FS The Weped FS weighs 45 kg and has real hydraulic suspension, and that weight is the organising fact of ownership no spec sheet can soften.
