Every e-scooter is different, so check the maximum load for your specific electric scooter. You'll find the information in 'Specifications' on every product page.

Check the IP Rating on the product before using it. For example, IP56 means there is a 5/10 rating against solid objects and 6/10 against liquids that could potentially damage the vehicle.

Yes, only some quick steps are necessary to do before riding. Every vehicle comes with an instruction guide to get you going straight away.

You are currently only able to lock the scooter with a physical lock like a bike lock.

There is an app that allows you to check your mileage, perform safety checks, and adjust settings on your vehicle. Keep it updated to enjoy our new features. 

As with all vehicles, the use of energy is completely determined by the behavior of the rider. Just like your car uses more petrol in stop-and-go traffic than on the highway, an electric vehicle will experience the same effects.
This is always due to the large amounts of energy needed for acceleration. The range can also vary by the weight of the rider as well as the riding conditions such as flat riding vs. hill climbing. 

The feedback from working in the industry for many years is that riding an electric scooter is no different from riding a bike. Bikes with 10-20 gears have the potential to go much faster than the 15-mile-per-hour top speed of an eScooter and have greater risks. When you ride an electric scooter, both feet remain planted and increase control. However, we strongly recommend every rider to wear a helmet.

Electric scooters are the perfect solution for distances that are too short to take the car but also too long to walk. That’s the so-called last mile. An electric scooter can be the perfect companion for commuters who usually use public transport to get to work. E-scooters are usually foldable and an easy-to-carry solution compared to bikes. Furthermore, electric scooters can be the perfect solution for riding around campuses and factories or exploring new cities and areas. 

Always check the current regulations applicable to your country. We currently only offer a 25km/h version for EU/US and a German version which is limited to 20km/h.
