What determines the price of an electric scooter?<\/h2>\n
While everyone hopes that price is a reflection of what you get. This is not always the case.<\/p>\n
I like to take SwagTron, former Swagway<\/a> as an example. You who read my recommendations, guides and tips before, know that I have my own store in Sweden. Hence, I have first-hand knowledge of the pricing and producing of great quality electric rideables.<\/p>\n Swagtron\u2019s electric scooter<\/a> is in my eyes way overpriced. I want to be clear that I love the brand for what they have made with their hoverboards and the community as a whole. Being early adopters they pushed the boundaries of how a hoverboard should be in order to keep buyers safe. With electric scooters<\/a>, there were no boundaries pushed. Their scooter models are highly priced<\/a>, does not have a lot of features, nor good specifics. They succeeded in selling it mainly because of their brand name was printed on the handlebar.<\/p>\n This is where pricing goes wrong. Some products might even be cheaper but have far better performance and this is because there are no general rules about pricing. The brand sets the price and you either buy it or don’t.<\/p>\n Price for a scooter should be determined by:<\/p>\n These above are all things you should take into consideration when buying an electric scooter<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you want high speed and long distance per charge you better pay for it. In terms of quality we mentioned the Swagtron above, this doesn\u2019t always go hand in hand and that is where we come in to play. We create our reviews to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each model in order for you to then be able to determine if the product is worth your hard earned cash or not.<\/p>\n Generally, a more expensive scooter<\/a> should provide higher quality, more comfortable riding, and better riding capabilities. As said numerous times already this isn\u2019t always the case, but most of the times it is pretty accurate.<\/p>\n A cheap electric scooter would be Razor\u2019s<\/a> electric scooters which still uses cheaper lead-acid batteries and make their models mainly out of steel which is heavier and far less expensive than high grade A aluminum. It has decent riding distances, moderate speed, a very long recharge time, and are heavy units to carry around. Therefore it is priced after those specifications.<\/p>\n An expensive electric scooter would be the Qiewa Q1 which boasts an 800W motor, 26ah lithium-ion battery. This scooter takes you up to 62 miles on a single charge at 34 mph which is close to insane specifics for an electric scooter. There are faster ones out there but those cost anywhere around $2000-$4000 and this one is priced just below $1500. Comparing this one to the Razor scooter<\/a> wouldn\u2019t be fair. Razor\u2019s products are built for children<\/a> and the Qiewa Q1<\/a> is something I would never let my kids ride on. At least not on their own. Those are better for adults serious about riding<\/a> electric scooters.<\/p>\n So what smart things can we draw from this that might help you determine a scooters value, or any other electric rideable products for that matter?<\/p>\n Well here’s a few things I would like you to ask yourself before buying an electric scooter:<\/a><\/p>\n So now you know what should determine the price. Remember to also consider the price for a brand. Some unbranded scooters might not have that good of a warranty, nor have support state-side. Known, well-established brands have great support and warranty. Paying a few extra bucks to get those two very important things might not be such a dumb idea.<\/p>\n You should now be able to narrow your choices down and find a nice affordable scooter<\/a> that\u2019ll aid you for years to come.
