Collection: Electric Scooters for Adults

Shop electric scooters for adults built for Australian commutes, errands and weekend rides. Every adult scooter here has a 25km/h top speed for public riding, so you can ride within the limits in states that allow private e-scooters.

How to choose an adult electric scooter

• Range: choose a claimed range of at least double your daily round trip. Budget commuters manage 20–35km; long-range models go further.
• Weight: 12–15kg scooters are easy to carry onto trains; 18kg+ models trade portability for range and comfort.
• Rider weight limit: most scooters are rated 100–120kg. Leave some margin.
• Tyres and brakes: 10-inch tyres and a disc brake plus an electronic brake give a safer, smoother ride.
• Seat or stand: seated scooters suit longer trips and riders who'd rather not stand.
