The purpose of an electric scooter (or escooter) is to get you from place to place. Naturally, how far the scooter can go is an important feature. However, the range is often the feature most often complained by riders less to be than advertised. Why is that consistently so?

The range of electric scooters is affected by more external factors than any other performance feature.

The short answer is that the stated range of an escooter is usually the range achievable in IDEAL conditions. This is not a ploy to over-market or short-change the scooter buyer. The manufacturer has to control the conditions for range testing and specify them in order to publish range information that is meaningful.
