The product arrives fully charged, so it's ready and raring to go. From there, a full charge from empty takes three hours and should keep you going for 20km. The max speed is 25km/h – and honestly, it's as fun as that sound. Workout be damned: I like scooting with an electric motor beneath my feat.

But for all that brand value, there is, inevitably, a downside. Micro scooters are some of the most expensive on the market. If there is a type of person to be seen carrying a folding bike on a commuter train (middle aged, geeky, quite possibly with trouser clips around the ankles), then that person has a new cousin: the distinctly cool adult scooter rider. Adult scooters – light, foldable; some electric and some not – have proliferated of late, especially in London, where the well-heeled parents of Eton Square and Clapham’s Nappy Valley can be seen on the school run, scooting along with their micro scooting brood in tow. Motorists are not expecting to see you in and amongst traffic and you’ll be difficult to spot given your relative size. Because of the size of your wheels, they’re more likely to catch on drain covers and pot holes, which can suddenly skew your course or cause you to fall over. 2. Be considerate As a point of comparison, the suspension-free Micro Classic scooter weighs 1.3kg less. I thought the extra weight was well worth the bump-free ride.

Electric scooters cannot be used on the road in the UK and Micro duly advise against this. Motorists are not expecting to see you in and amongst traffic and you’ll be difficult to spot given your relative size.

toucan was born, if not came screaming into this world at the height of social-distancing in 2020. We have been suddenly given this renewed responsibility for this project after seemingly the immediate prospects of using public transportation has been hailed. Toucan brand Push Bikes are all prodouced by the Belize Bicycle company. Those who are familiar with the Belize name, know that this brand is synonymous with quality. They have over 40 years of experience producing scooters, bicycles, and related products in the personal vehicles market. Their company is headquartered in La Salle, a suburb of Montreal. Their products, especially models in their Toucan series, are known to be manufactured to the highest standards, yet they still manage to offer them at competitive prices. Their folding design makes them easier to transport and store. Made from lightweight materials they are ideal for car journeys or taking on holiday both in the UK or abroad. These scooters can be either folding as above, or come apart into sections that are lightweight and easy to transport. Scooters that break down into sections generally have larger seats and larger batteries, given them a longer driving range and increased comfort. BenefitsNobody wants to make enemies of their fellow pedestrians – don’t scoot in a way that will frighten or inconvenience other pavement users. As long as the law is unclear about whether it’s a legal offence to ride on the road or pavement, the easiest way is to avoid causing any personal offence to fellow pavement users. 3.

Providing a safe and comfortable way to move around and participate in daily activities. Allowing you to do and experience more. There’s lots of different types to choose from. Some small, some big, lightweight or folding and even some that came apart into sections making them easily transportable. There is no clear law as to where you can legally scoot in the UK, because the Highways Act of 1835, section 72 hasn't been updated to cover them. However, Micro has issued the below advice: 1. Don’t scoot on the road
