Find your perfect ride — for every rider, every road.
From a kid’s first scooter to a 40-mile commuter, an apartment-friendly folder to a weekend off-road machine — we’ve ridden them all and we tell you exactly which one to get.
Start with how you’ll actually use it
The “best” scooter depends entirely on your ride. Pick the situation that fits — we’ll point you to the right machine.
Daily commuters
Range, speed, and a fold that survives the office. Our city-tested picks for getting to work without breaking a sweat.
Families & kids
Age-appropriate speeds, real brakes, and safety features parents can trust. The rides we put our own kids on.
Apartment & portable
Lightweight folders that carry up the stairs and tuck into a closet — without giving up everyday range.
Long-range & performance
Big batteries, suspension, and real power for riders who want maximum range and speed on every charge.
Off-road & adventure
Knobby tires, dual motors, and rugged builds for trails, gravel, and going where pavement ends.
Best on a budget
The rides that punch above their price. Genuinely good machines that won’t blow the bank.
Your one-stop shop for every kind of ride
ScooterMcGoo started in 2019 with a simple frustration: every “best electric scooter” list online read like a copied spec sheet. So we started buying the gear and actually riding it — commuting on it, putting our kids on it, taking it off-road — and writing down the honest truth.
Today we cover the whole world of personal electric mobility: electric scooters for commuters and kids, skateboards and longboards, electric unicycles, one-wheels, and mopeds. Whatever you ride and whyever you ride it, we’ve tested the options and ranked them for your exact situation — not just a generic “top 10.”

More than a review site
Personal electric mobility is changing how people get around — to work, to class, to the trailhead, and around the neighborhood. But buying your first (or next) ride shouldn’t mean wading through fake “top 10” lists and copy-pasted specs.
That’s why we exist: to be the honest, hands-on guide for every kind of rider. We test what we recommend, we factor in safety first, and we sort our picks by how you actually ride — so you can buy with confidence and spend more time riding.
Common questions, answered
How do I choose the right electric scooter?
Start with how you’ll use it. Commuters should prioritize range and a quick fold; families want age-appropriate speeds and strong brakes; apartment riders need a light, compact build for stairs and elevators. Match the machine to your ride first, then compare on price and features. Every guide on this site is sorted exactly that way.
How much should I expect to spend?
Solid kids’ and budget scooters start around $130–$250. Capable adult commuters typically run $400–$800, and long-range or performance models climb past $1,000. Spend based on your distance and terrain — paying for range and suspension you’ll never use is the most common buyer’s mistake.
Are electric scooters worth it?
For short-to-medium commutes, errands, and replacing car trips under a few miles, absolutely — they’re cheaper to run, easy to park, and genuinely fun. The key is buying the right model for your distance and terrain, which is exactly what our hands-on guides help you do.
Do you actually test the products you recommend?
Yes. We buy and ride the gear ourselves — commuting on it, putting our kids on it, taking it off-road — before we rank anything. We weight control, braking, build quality, and safety over flashy spec numbers, and we’re upfront when something isn’t worth your money.
