You must buy an electric scooter considering the range for your use cause. For e.g- If you travel 100kms a day, you should buy a scooter with a claimed range of 100km. There is a lot of difference between the real-world range and claimed range. So you should get a scooter with at least 50km more range than your use cause. Also, contact owners to figure out the real-world range of the scooter.  Charging space

EVs come with the hassle of charging. So with a home charger, you need a decent amount of space to install it in the first place. For people who do not have a fixed parking spot, this can be a hassle. Such types of users can look for a charger nearby, or a scooter with a detachable battery. Removable batteries do have their pros but can be cumbersome to move around.  Are you ready for an electric car? Buying an electric scooter – After-sales service
