Electric scooters

Electric scooters: the ideal way to get around town

The electric scooter is an EDPM (Engin de Déplacement Personnel Motorisé) that is winning over more and more city dwellers. It lets you make your daily journeys without the constraints of public transport and traffic jams. A Swiss-approved electric scooter gives you the freedom to come and go as you please. It's also very practical for mixed journeys: car + scooter or train + scooter. You can enjoy your new favorite means of locomotion in all circumstances, thanks to its multimodality. Folding models, in particular, can be easily transported in the trunk of a car or on the bus. Ideal for covering a few kilometers, electric scooters have a maximum speed of 20 km/h in Switzerland. If you're looking for the ultimate in cycling comfort, Decathlon can help you with your purchase, offering a wide selection of electric scooters.

Buying criteria for your electric scooter

In order to choose the model that's right for you, we recommend that you check certain essential criteria, such as :

• Battery capacity.
• Maximum load: the higher the load, the better the scooter's performance.
• Wheel size: the larger the wheels, the greater the scooter's ability to negotiate and absorb shocks.
• Maximum speed: in Switzerland, a maximum speed of 20 km/h is required for homologation.
• Lighting devices for your safety.
• Fast recharging.

You also need to take into account other factors, such as how often you use your scooter; for example, a long range is preferable if you make a lot of urban trips on your scooter. And don't forget your equipment: in the event of a fall or collision, a helmet provides optimum protection.
