The word “scooter” conjures images of different things. The earliest scooters were vehicles with a narrow rectangular platform with two small wheels in tandem and handlebars on a post. Today, there are powered scooters that you can simply stand on and ride—some even have a small seat.in the United States for kids, teens and adults since 2003 and have a wide range of affordable and durable models to choose from. They are small, lightweight vehicles for personal fun, commuting and running errands.
Most electric scooters have a chain and sprocket drive mechanism but some have small motors that fit entirely inside the hub of the rear wheel.Most rear wheels are solid rubber, plastics or composites. The larger the wheels, the smoother the ride. Air-filled rubber tires take more of the harshness out of the ride.Few electric scooters have a suspension. The ones that do are usually larger and more expensive.Lights are necessary for riding at night and are also helpful in low-light conditions.
