About Electric Scooter AU

Our Story

Electric Scooter Australia was founded in 2024 when our team, a group of urban commuters frustrated with traffic congestion and crowded public transport, discovered the freedom of electric scooters. We were immediately hooked—not just by the convenience, but by the sheer joy of gliding through Sydney's streets on a quiet, zero-emission machine.

However, when we started looking for advice on which scooter to buy, we found a gap in the market. Most reviews were either too technical for beginners or too superficial to be truly helpful. Information about Australian-specific concerns—like state-by-state regulations, dealing with our unique weather conditions, or finding reliable local suppliers—was scattered and often outdated.

That's when we decided to create the resource we wished we had: a comprehensive, honest, and Australia-focused guide to electric scooters. We wanted to build a community where riders could learn about motor wattage and torque without needing an engineering degree, understand the difference between pneumatic and solid tyres for Australian road conditions, and navigate the complex web of e-scooter laws across different states.

What We Do

Every scooter we feature has been researched extensively, with consideration for real-world Australian conditions. We evaluate range claims against typical Sydney hills, test water resistance ratings against Melbourne's unpredictable weather, and assess tyre durability on Brisbane's varied terrain. We look at specifications like battery capacity in watt-hours, motor power output, regenerative braking efficiency, and deck width for stability—because these details matter when you're riding daily.

Our commitment goes beyond just product comparisons. We maintain up-to-date guides on e-scooter regulations in every Australian state and territory, publish maintenance tips to extend your scooter's lifespan, and create safety resources to keep our community riding responsibly. We believe that an informed rider is a safe rider.

Our Values

Honesty First: We never accept payment for reviews. Our recommendations are based solely on research, community feedback, and our understanding of what Australian riders need. When we link to products, we use affiliate partnerships that don't influence our opinions—they simply help us keep this resource free and accessible.

Community Focused: We're building more than a website. We're building a community of riders who share tips, report on local conditions, and help newcomers make informed decisions. Your feedback shapes our content and keeps us accountable.

Safety Advocates: Electric scooters are incredible machines, but they demand respect. We're passionate advocates for helmet use, proper lighting, and following local laws. Every piece of content we create emphasises safe riding practices.
