What is better to drive?
What to use to move around the city and beyond – depends on the person’s preferences, the distance traveled and the conditions. Each type of electric transport has its own advantages and outperforms its competitors in certain conditions. For example, if you need to get to the nearest store or office, take the subway to the park, hang out with friends, and have fun, then a lightweight electric scooter or folding electric bike are the best choices.
Full-size of e-bikes, electric mopeds, scooters, and electric motorcycles are perfect for public roads and can reach your destination by express. If you need a vehicle with good off-road capabilities that can handle the trail, choose an electric fat bike.
It doesn’t have to be limited to one option. Many riders prefer to use an e-bike or other electric vehicle for their daily commute and a compact personal mobility device for outdoor activities. In this article, we’ll consider the features of the different types of vehicles in more detail.
The kick scooter with electric motor and rechargeable batteries is a device for the soul. In terms of control, the electric skateboard is similar to a regular skateboard, but at the same time it allows you to accelerate to 10-25km/h or more, depending on the motor power engine. These electric kick scooter is usually light weight for like generally weigh between 5 and 10 kgs.
This low-wheeled models are designed for riding on flat surfaces, while the higher electric kick scooters allow you to ride even on different terrain. These devices have a range of 30 km per charge. The battery is 6amp to 16amp and need 3-4 hours charging time for its completely empty. Of course, you can ride an electric kick scooter without the help of a motor and just push it with your feet. But the speed will for sure be reduced.
Hoover board
Another popular recreational device-Hoover board for walks in the park and outdoor activities. It is also used for short trips: from home to the subway, from work to a cafe, etc. It is controlled by changing the center of gravity of the rider’s body. Just like an electric skateboard, it helps develop coordination of movement and maintains muscle tone. But if the battery is dead, riding a hoover board won’t work.
Depending on the diameter of the wheels (from 6.5 to 10.5 inches), such devices are suitable for driving on flat surfaces or can overcome bumps in the road. The load capacity depends on the use of the model (adult or child) and can reach 150 kg. Most models can reach speeds of up to 15-16 km/h, travel 15-20 km on a single charge, and take 2-3 hours to charge.
Segway
This type of electric vehicle is different from the past in that it has a steering wheel or a shortened steering rack to control the knees and larger wheels – from 10.5 to 14 inches. Otherwise, they are similar. There are 2 wheels and a pedal platform with a gyroscope that automatically keeps the balance. Such devices typically reach speeds of up to 16-18 km/h, travel up to 20 km without charging and are fully charged in 3 hours.
Segways and mini-Segways (models with short handlebars) are popular with tour guides, mail carriers, golfers and portable electric vehicle enthusiasts. On such devices, it is easy to move over asphalt, soil, tile and other flat surfaces. The presence of large wheels allows riders on the Segway to confidently overcome bumps and small obstacles along the way.

Riding Onewheel feels like surfing or skiing on the road.
Electric Scooter/Electric Moped
Using an electric scooter is simple and convenient, without the need to pedal the ground like on a regular scooter. The movement is performed thanks to the installed electric motor and the mileage time depends on the capacity of the battery.
On average, current electric scooters accelerate to 45-60 km/h, have a range of 0-70 km, and take 3-5 hours to charge. Perfect for outdoor activities, parks and sidewalk trips.
The passability of electric scooters and their possibilities of use depend directly on the size of the wheels:.
- 5″-7″ wheels are designed for light travel on flat surfaces.
- 8-9″ diameter wheels are equipped with urban models designed for daily travel on asphalt, tile and primer.

Conclusions
Our review presents the most common types of personal electric transportation. Among them are electric kick scooters, self-balance scooter, as well as various vehicles with seats: electric scooters/moped, electric bicycles, fat tire bikes, electric tricycles, and electric motorcycles. Each of them has its own different features and can apply to different conditions of using the means of transport.
Among personal electric transportation, e-bikes, e-scooters and mopeds are particularly popular, but other types of vehicles should not be ignored. In the category of recreation and entertainment equipment, hoover boards, mobility scooters, skateboards and mopeds are in high demand.
