A few months ago, we covered Honda’s unveiling of its smallest electric vehicle, the Motocompacto. The company has finally opened the order books on its little electric scooter, meaning you could own a new Honda EV for under $1,000.

Lime has a new electric scooter dropping today, and you’ll want to be seated for the announcement… and for the ride. The new scooter, creatively named the “Gen4 Seated,” adds a padded platform to the ride for a more comfortable and stable experience.

Gogoro, the leading industry player in the swappable batteries for light electric vehicles market, has just unveiled its new Gogoro CrossOver Smartscooter. The electric two-wheeler is the company’s first entirely new platform of the year, yet relies on the same network of over 1 million swappable batteries as Gogoro’s other electric scooters.

Whatever your feelings about the upcoming Tesla Cybertruck are, from brave futurism to misguided flop, there’s no denying that the design is distinctive. And for those who want to capture that same design with half the wheels and a tiny fraction of the pedestrian-murdering mass, the new Infinite Machine P1 electric scooter may be perfect for you.

Ice cream trucks evoke a certain nostalgia that is difficult to replicate. But at a time when large combustion engine trucks are being replaced left and right, what is to come of cold confection-slinging vehicles? Perhaps they can be replaced by this Vespa-looking ice cream scooter instead.

I’ve ridden a lot of electric scooters in my time, numbering in the hundreds of different models at this point. And so it takes something special to make it to the top of any of my lists these days. Somehow the Scooterson managed to top TWO of my lists at once, becoming the weirdest to ride but very quickly also the coolest electric scooter I’ve ever tested.

I mean, just look at it!

The full specs for the self-proclaimed “world’s most sophisticated” micromobility vehicle, the Bo M electric scooter, have been unveiled as the e-scooter heads to production.

Dubai has just announced the creation of a new electric scooter racing event that will feature the fastest electric racing scooters in the world. The Dubai Electric Scooter Cup is intended to become the preeminent international electric scooter race.

If you’re old enough to remember the original 1980s Honda Motocompo micro-motorcycle – or are like me and have enjoyed learning about it since – then today’s announcement from Honda will come with all sorts of warm, fuzzy feelings of nostalgia, either earned or learned. The long-awaited spiritual successor to the Motocompo has just been unveiled, and this time it’s gone electric. Meet the Honda Motocompacto.

Earlier this year we saw a teaser from Greenworks that showed off a few transportation vehicles that could be powered by the company’s power tool batteries. Now we’re getting our first look at several of those new models from the electric power tool maker, including diverse options like go-karts, bikes, and even a UTV.

NIU, the Beijing-based power player in the electric scooter market, has just released a pair of new electric scooters. Unlike the moped-style rides that the company is most famous for, these are standing scooters. Meet the NIU KQi Air and KQi Air X.

To be fair, the Äike T electric scooter is an interesting and innovative ride by itself. But the fact that it’s the world’s first USB-C enabled electric scooter is icing on the cake.

But what makes the Äike T electric scooter stand out so much from the hundreds of other e-scooters on the market?

For some electric scooter riders, modest speeds of 15-20 mph (24-40 km/h) are plenty. For others who want to travel on larger roads or cover farther distances on their scooter commutes, faster speeds are necessary. It’s those types of riders that Nanrobot had in mind when they rolled out their latest model, the Nanrobot N6.

A recent string of anti-e-bike articles in the New York Times has attempted to spread fear around the increasingly popular transportation method of electric bicycles. But it’s not just the typical e-bikes you see students riding to class or adults cruising to work on. One of the main e-bike targets of late has become electric balance bikes, or what the NYT referred to as “motorcycles for children.”

However, instead of fearing these rider training tools, we’d be better advised to embrace them and encourage more parents to put their kids on one.

Canadian electric scooter maker Apollo says its new Rover, just launched today, is the “future of urban mobility.” And considering the company is known for making innovative models that have helped push the industry into that future, it may be worth a second look.

It looks like Taiwanese motorbike maker KYMCO is ready to take its battery-swapping IONEX electric scooter platform global, starting with Thailand. The news comes to us in the form of a recently announced Thai partnership set up around the company’s battery-swapping system.

Electric trikes generally aren’t considered to be the peak of coolness, but that was before the Lámpago e-trike rolled onto the scene.

The Teamgee G3 electric scooter has some pretty decent specs to its name, but it’s the price that really draws the eye. Can a $749 full suspension electric scooter actually fit the bill? That’s what I wanted to find out.

Gogoro’s electric scooters with swappable batteries have always been focused on environmental responsibility. But now the company is teaming up with leading household consumer goods brand MUJI to take things even further. And it involves your plastic waste.

CSC Motorcycles, the southern California motorcycle and scooter (and e-bike) dealer known for its modestly-priced two-wheelers, has just unveiled yet another interesting electric scooter. The CSC E-RT3 comes with highway-capable specs yet at a fraction of the competition’s cost.

Several years ago the team at Canada’s premier electric scooter company Apollo decided that they weren’t just going to sell off-the-shelf scooters. Instead, they were going to innovate with new designs and custom development to create unique and high performance scooters. After multiple launches of progressively more customized scooters, it feels like the new Apollo Pro has reached the pinnacle of that design ethos.
