The CityRider electric scooter from Fluidfreeride is a fast, fun, and attractive electric scooter. And the fact that it combines old-school charm with modern tech makes it one of the best budget electric scooters on the market.
It’s smaller than an A3 size sheet of paper, which is equivalent to roughly two 8.5 x 11-inch sheets of standard printer paper. But any which way you slice it, Xiaomi’s new Himo H1 electric bike is pretty darn small.
Recently it has felt like there’s a new scooter entering the market every other day. But today’s new entry, the Scooterson Rolley 2, bucks the small-wheeled trend and opts for a giant-wheeled seated scooter design. And its manufacturer is making some bold self-driving claims to boot.
As Cuba suffers through a fuel shortage that is grinding conventional transportation to a halt, electric motorcycles known as motorinas have shown up in force to help Cubans get around.

NIU has an extensive line of popular electric scooters, but that hasn’t stopped the company from innovating even further.
The Vespa Elettrica is the first electric scooter in the Vespa family. It debuted last year with an underwhelming 45 km/h (28 mph) top speed.

EICMA 2019, or the Milan Motorcycle Show, begins on Tuesday, November 5th. EICMA is the biggest international motorcycle trade show of the year and is where most companies choose to make their new motorcycle announcements. Last year saw an impressive showing of electric motorcycles, and this year is already shaping up to be even bigger.
Here we’ve compiled a complete rundown of every electric motorcycle company that we are expecting big news or product unveilings from.
Gogoro swappable batteries designed for electric scooters appear to be marching toward becoming a de facto standard.

KYMCO has just announced a new electric scooter to be unveiled at the 2019 EICMA Milan Motorcycle Show. But the new KYMCO RevoNex isn’t your standard little electric scooter. It’s a maxi scooter that seems to blur the line between electric scooters and electric motorcycles.
Riding through the south German countryside between rows of farmland, there was nothing to give me a sense of time. The green fields were dotted with rickety old barns as I blew past on my vintage-looking scooter. The only clue to remind me that I wasn’t living out a 1960’s Eurotrip fantasy was the soft whirr of the electric motor on my Kumpan electric scooter – a sound that surely would have been replaced by an abrasive “putt putt putt” on a scooter like this decades ago.
NIU is well known for its high tech electric scooters, which took off in China before receiving high acclaim upon their export to Europe. But recent spy shots received exclusively by Electrek show that the electric scooter manufacturer might have its eyes on something bigger – in the form of a NIU electric motorcycle.
I recently got my hands on a high-power and high-speed Currus NF electric scooter from FreeMotionShop.com.
And while many electric scooters are guilty of wobbly parts and substandard construction, the Currus NF may just be the most overbuilt electric scooter I’ve ever seen.
We’ve been reporting on the Bird Cruiser a fair amount lately as we keep getting clues about its imminent release. The format has proven to be popular with the masses, and everyone wants to know when Bird’s electric moped will be released to the public. But as it turns out, Scoot has beaten Bird to it, and rolled out the first rentable electric mopeds based on the Bird Cruiser platform.
Bajaj is back in the scooter game after a 10-year absence. This time around they’ve resurrected the Chetak scooter, though in electric form.
And you may recognize the design as something familiar…
The results are in and San Francisco has voted to greenlight a new plan that will see Market Street closed to private cars.
Electric scooters come in all sizes. While the smaller 250 W electric scooters from scooter sharing companies like Bird or Lime might suffice for a quick trip here and there, everyday scooter commuters often prefer more powerful and robust machines. And now Voro Motors is answering that call with a number of impressive updates to a scooter we already previously reviewed quite highly: the EMOVE Cruiser electric scooter.
Bird’s electric moped-style e-scooter seems to be even closer to rolling out than we thought. At least that’s how it appears based on the first photos we’ve received of Bird Cruisers parked outside of Bird’s HQ in Santa Monica, California.
Uber just announced a new partnership with Cityscoot in Paris to include electric mopeds in its transportation options.
Now Uber customers can rent and pay for an electric moped directly from the Uber app.
When you think of a European scooter, you probably imagine that classic step-through styling with a big front shield and a comfy seat for two. And while you might be hearing that distant “putt putt” of a tiny one-cylinder engine in your mind, Kumpan wants to make sure that the next wave of classic European scooters are completely silent — and completely electric.
Electric scooter company Wheels believes that scooter-share riders would rather sit than stand. And investors are banking on them, big time.
I love a good 40 mph (64 km/h) electric scooter as much as the next guy. But it’s the affordable, 18.6 mph (30 km/h) electric scooters that make up the bulk of the commuter scooters on the roads today. And now FluidFreeRide has announced its newest (and most affordable) electric scooter yet: The CITYRIDER.
