I'VE TESTED DOZENS OF CHEAP ELECTRIC SCOOTERS - AND THIS ONE IS THE BEST

EV Channels Review

The reviewer pits the Riley RS1 against the Techtron Elite 3500 in a search for the best affordable electric scooter. While both scooters offer similar core specifications like a 350W motor and 25km range, the Riley RS1 emerges as the preferred choice due to its significantly more comfortable ride, attributed to its larger, softer tires, which absorb vibrations exceptionally well, even on rough surfaces like cobbles. The reviewer highlights the RS1's superior comfort, allowing for longer rides without discomfort, and its easily detachable battery as key advantages. However, the Techtron Elite 3500 is noted for its slightly quicker acceleration and nimbler handling, making it a good option for heavier riders (over 95kg) or those prioritizing agility. Ultimately, the RS1's comfort and practical features like the detachable battery make it the winner for most users seeking an accessible and comfortable electric scooter.
