Stand up electric scooters give you an easy and enjoyable way to move through the city.
Instead of sitting in traffic or waiting for buses, you can step on, press the throttle and glide to where you need to be.
A stand up electric scooter is built around a strong deck to stand on, a secure handlebar and an electric motor that does the hard work for you.
Most models are light enough to carry for short distances and fold quickly, so you can take them into offices, flats or trains without taking up much space.
Many also come with useful touches like lights, a display for speed and battery level and comfortable tyres that help smooth out uneven paths.
These scooters work well for a wide range of journeys. You can use them for daily commutes, quick school runs, trips to the shops or relaxed evening rides when you just want some fresh air.
They are also handy for short errands where using a car would feel wasteful, such as picking up a few items from the supermarket or visiting friends who live a couple of streets away.
For people who have to connect different types of transport, a scooter can cover the first and last part of the journey and make the whole trip feel easier.
The main reason many riders choose this type of scooter is the balance of freedom and convenience.
You can avoid crowded buses and busy car parks, start and stop where it suits you and often reach nearby places faster than by car during busy times.
Because most models are compact when folded, storage is simple even if you live in a small home or work in a shared office space.
You can tuck the scooter under a desk, in a hallway or beside a wardrobe without it getting in the way.
There are also clear benefits for your wallet and the environment. Short car trips use a lot of fuel, especially in stop start traffic, and parking costs can build up over time.
With an electric scooter you charge the battery at home or at work and the running cost per trip is usually very low.
You also produce fewer emissions on each journey, which is better for local air quality and the wider environment.
Comfort and safety are important too. Many models include front and rear lights so you can be seen more easily, along with reflectors and good braking systems to help you stop with confidence.
Wider decks give your feet more room so you can find a stable stance that feels natural.
Grippy tyres and sensible speed limits help you feel more in control on paths and side roads where riding is allowed, and simple controls mean new riders can pick things up quickly.
Choosing the right model depends on how you plan to use it. If you mainly ride on smooth city paths, a lighter scooter with a smaller battery may be enough and will be easier to carry.
If you plan longer trips or need extra power for hills, you might prefer a scooter with a larger battery and stronger motor.
Some riders also like to keep a second charger at work so they can top up during the day and never worry about range.
Overall, this collection is for anyone who wants a practical, fun and modern way to move around without relying on a car for every short journey.
If you ever decide you would like the option to sit as well as stand, you can also explore our seated electric scooters collection for an even more relaxed ride.
