Skateboards and bikes have been the traditional outside activity for kids of
yesteryear. With the emergence of scooters, that trend is changing. Granted,
scooters have been around for decades but have not really caught on until
recently. Now, the kick scooter has evolved from gas and electric powered, which
opens the door to 揼reen?fun. There are obvious differences between the players
in this trio: power. Electric is normally powered by two different types of
batteries such as lead acid or lithium ion. Lead acid batteries are usually
standard with optional lithium ion on some models. So what is the difference
between electric, gas and kick scooters?
Price: When it comes to cost the
categories are, in ascending order: non-motorized, electric and then gas being
the most expensive. Beginner scooters can be found for around $100.00 with costs
increasing for larger, faster scooters. Cadillac of the scooter industry is
Go-Ped which cost hundreds and in some cases, thousands of dollars for their
scooters. The point being, for you dollar, you can purchase a scooter that

Velocity: Gas offers more velocity, up to 18 miles
per hour. You can expect speeds of 12-25 miles per hour in electric and less
than two miles per hour on a kick scooter autel

the rider weight.
Noise: Electric and kick scooters are barely audible
were gas engines are noisy lawn equipment. If you live out in the country, noise
is usually not an issue, around suburban areas gas engines can be a nuisance.
Noise reduction is one of the primary reasons families choose electric powered
scooters over gas counterparts.
