I’m always getting asked questions about electric scooters so I thought I’d start a page dedicated to your questions so that other readers can benefit.
My number one question I get asked about electric scooters for adults is:
Is it road legal (UK)?
The answer, up until recently was no. HOWEVER, EVO have brought out several road legal scooters that you can buy and you just need to register it with the DVLA for around £55.00 (at time of writing).
Do you need a driving license/insurance/road tax?
No you don’t need to pay road tax for these scooters or as far as I’m aware have a driving license or insurance. You do need a certificate of conformity for the DVLA, which you will receive when you buy the electric scooter via EVO.
Can I buy a scooter from you?
The amount of people who contact me to buy one! I’m not a shop, I’m just a blogger/fanatic/adventurer, sorry!
However you can have a look at a wide range of electric scooters here.
How do you get the valve cap off on the back tire of an electric scooter?
To remove the valve cap from the back tire of an electric scooter, you will need to start by locating the valve stem. This is the small, narrow tube that sticks out of the wheel and is used to inflate the tire. The valve cap is usually located at the top of the valve stem, and it is typically made of metal or plastic.
To remove the valve cap, you will need to grip it firmly with your fingers and twist it counterclockwise. If the valve cap is stuck or difficult to remove, you may need to use a pair of pliers to get a better grip. Once you have removed the valve cap, you will be able to access the valve stem and add air to the tire as needed.
Is there anywhere in the UK where I can try out an electric scooter before buying one? I bought a Razor 300 online a couple of years ago. It was brilliant for about 5 minutes but I had to bin it because the batteries the battery life was so poor.
I have lost the key for my Chaos scooter any idea where I can get a new lock
