GUEST OPINION: It’s already proven. More and more commuters are buying an electric scooter based on their preference, having been clearly convinced of the e-scooter’s convenience, effectiveness and cost-efficiency for daily trips. 

Because of this exponential growing popularity, the electric scooter market all over the globe is expected to reach at least US$34.2 billion by 2026. 

Whether you are tinkering with the idea or seriously considering buying an electric scooter for your daily commutes, and for whatever proclivity you may have, these straight-off-the-cuff questions will help you assess what electric scooter best suits your lifestyle, and what you instinctively ‘feel’ is right for you -- before getting an electric scooter.

Electric scooters for adults offer many benefits to commuters. Now, ask yourself “Why do you need an electric scooter?” Countless e-scooter riders bought an electric scooter for their daily commutes, to go to work or school, to get around the city easier and faster, for and travel and leisure.

However, if you just want to have an electric scooter since it’s the trend, you better choose carefully or you'll not be able to enjoy the benefits of an electric scooter. You don't want to end up with a lemon -- fake, clone or defective e-scooter. An electric scooter is an investment. You need to take time to find the right e-scooter for you. Once you know why you need an electric scooter, will narrow down your choices until you find the right kind of e-scooter for you. So, think about it thoroughly.

It's good to know how far you need to go to reach your destination. It will help you determine the kind of specs you need. Let's say you will be travelling over 20 km every day, then you need to get an e-scooter with a higher range and battery capacity. Long-range electric scooters like the Mearth RS Series 2023 edition offers up to 65 km of range on a single charge.

What about if you are travelling longer distances than what a typical commuter electric scooter offers, then add to your preference, comfort. Riding an electric scooter for a long period of time can be trying too, and quite uncomfortable Mearth RS and RS Pro 2023 edition are the ultimate long-range e-scooters. The GTS and GTS MAX EVO 2023 editions from Mearth are on-and off-road, heavy-duty electric scooters that offer a comfortable riding experience for riders, who go for long rides, into the off-beaten track and then, uphill and downhill.

This is a very desirable feature for commuters going on their last-mile journey. Riding public transportation to your destination -- wherever that is, you should be able to bring your Mearth electric scooter inside the bus and inside the subway train. Mearth has the best commuter electric scooter. The Mearth S Pro 2023 edition is lightweight, weighing only 15 kg. It is also foldable so it's easy to carry as it will not take up much space inside the bus or train.

Since Mearth S Pro's foldable stem and compact size allow riders to bring these rideables inside the bus, elevator, or train, there is no problem. If your daily commute requires you to take the stairs or ride public transportation, get the Mearth S Pro lightweight commuter electric scooter.

Now, if you are either on the heavy or stocky side, and your weight is about 100 kg., look for an electric scooter that has maximum load capacity, like the Mearth GT and GTS MAX EVO 2023 edition. The maximum load an e-scooter can carry is the maximum weight that it can carry.

There is no doubt about it. The best electric scooters for adults over 100 kg are the on-and-off-road GTS Max EVO 2023 edition. They are built for durability and can offer a higher maximum load. The GTS EVO also offers a longer range and provides a more comfortable riding experience --- something that makes riding better and easier for heavier-built riders.

Buying an electric scooter can cost from $200 to $3,000 or even higher, depending on the type of electric scooter that you need. Even though electric scooters are relatively cheaper than cars and motorcycles, they still entail a cost that commuters and potential buyers must know exactly. It's your hard-earned money after all. What is your budget?

You need to keep in mind that the kind and quality of electric scooter you will get corresponds to the price you pay for it. Nothing wrong with buying the cheapest electric scooter -- but if you later find out it's a clone, a fake, rebranded or defective, be prepared to get mediocre performance and more headaches.

Be mindful, therefore, to get an electric scooter only from reputable sellers, certainly not at the black market, to be protected by a warranty and guarantee. You can choose the one with features that fit your needs, is suitable to your lifestyle, and doesn't make you a pauper, and you're good.   

When you have narrowed down the kind of electric scooter that you need, make sure to check if your city allows electric scooters on main thoroughfares. Most cities in Australia still do not allow electric scooters and other personal mobility devices on public roads, footpaths, and spaces.

Violators caught riding in public will be fined, and/or their electric scooters seized. Better make sure it’s legal to ride an electric scooter in public before you buy an electric scooter of your choice.

Ok, so you finally got for yourself an electric scooter. Now, where will you put it inside your home? The upside of opting to have an e-scooter is that you don’t need to have a garage to park your e-scooter. Since they are compact and fold easily, they can fit under desks, inside cabinets, in a small corner wall, and inside the trunk of a car.

Just make sure that you store it inside a closet, space, or area that is free from moisture and dust. Exposure to harsh elements, like moisture and dust can affect the components of your electric scooter and can prematurely cause the deterioration of its condition. Check the Mearth website as it provides quick tips on how to store your electric scooter properly.
