Your trusted source for expert electric scooter guidance, in-depth reviews, and practical advice for Australian riders.
Best Scooter Australia was founded in 2024 by a group of passionate electric scooter enthusiasts who recognised a significant gap in the Australian market. While e-scooters were rapidly gaining popularity across our cities and suburbs, there was no dedicated, trustworthy resource helping Australians navigate the increasingly complex world of personal electric vehicles. We set out to change that.
What started as a hobby project between mates who loved nothing more than testing the latest scooters along Sydney's waterfront and Melbourne's bike paths has grown into Australia's most comprehensive electric scooter resource. Our team has collectively logged over 15,000 kilometres on electric scooters, from the bustling streets of Brisbane's CBD to the scenic coastal paths of Perth and the challenging hills of Hobart.
We understand that purchasing an electric scooter is a significant investment, and the Australian market can be overwhelming. With dozens of brands, varying regulations across states and territories, and specifications that can seem like a foreign language, we know how difficult it can be to make an informed decision. That's precisely why we created this platform: to cut through the marketing noise and provide genuine, experience-based guidance.
Unlike many review sites that simply repackage manufacturer specifications, we actually ride every scooter we recommend. Our rigorous testing methodology has been refined over hundreds of hours of real-world riding and includes:
We only recommend products we would confidently suggest to our own family and friends. Every scooter featured on our site has been personally tested by our team, and we regularly update our recommendations as new models arrive and our long-term testing reveals important insights about durability and reliability.
Behind Best Scooter Australia is a dedicated team of riders, researchers, and writers who share a common passion for electric mobility and a commitment to helping fellow Australians make informed decisions.

Transparency is at the heart of everything we do. Yes, we earn affiliate commissions when you purchase through our links, but this never influences our recommendations. We've turned down lucrative partnerships with brands whose products didn't meet our standards, and we'll continue to prioritise your interests over easy revenue. Our reputation depends on your trust, and we take that responsibility seriously.
We're also deeply committed to rider safety. Every guide we publish includes relevant safety information, and we advocate strongly for proper protective gear, awareness of local regulations, and responsible riding practices. Electric scooters are fantastic vehicles, but only when ridden safely and legally.

Whether you're a first-time buyer researching your options or an experienced rider looking to upgrade, we're here to help you find the perfect scooter for your Australian adventures.
