Best electric scooters in Australia (2026)

Choose for the job

There is no single best scooter for every Australian buyer. MAX G3 is the heavier all-round commuter to compare first; E3 is the budget alternative, F3 Pro trades some battery capacity for lower weight, and Inmotion Air is the carrying option. For longer trips, compare the source-checked Inmotion S1 rather than assuming an old Cruiser offer is still available. These are research-based choices, not road-test winners.

Prices are dated catalogue observations, not live delivered quotes. Claimed and estimated range are separate. No physical ScootFinder test is implied.

What to check before paying

• Use this editorial shortlist to choose a direction. Use the full directory to filter the catalogue and Compare to inspect your actual pair or trio.
• Separate the supplied Australian configuration from overseas speed claims. A seller listing does not establish eligibility for your state or your intended route.
• Choose for return-trip range, carrying, payload, tyres and service support. Our range estimates remain estimates; physical braking, hill and ownership tests are still to be filmed.

Segway MAX G3: who should compare it?

Commuters wanting Segway's latest flagship with real hydraulic suspension front and rear and strong claimed range.

The compromise: Heavier than the lighter F-series models; check state-specific device requirements as well as riding speed limits.

Segway E3: who should compare it?

First time buyers and short distance commuters who want Segway build quality, front and rear suspension and a 25 km/h factory speed for under $800.

The compromise: The 276 Wh battery is small, so expect roughly 30 km of real world range rather than the 45 km claim.

Segway F3 Pro: who should compare it?

Commuters wanting the step-up F3 with hydraulic front suspension and strong claimed range in a lighter package than the MAX G3.

The compromise: It is heavier and dearer than the base F3, while the 70 km claim still comes from a low-speed test.

Inmotion Air: who should compare it?

Short city commutes and last-mile trips where a light 15.6 kg scooter that folds onto a train matters more than range.

The compromise: Small battery and no suspension, so comfort and range are basic. Only a front drum brake plus a regenerative rear brake.

Inmotion S1: who should compare it?

Commuters wanting genuinely long range from a single motor scooter, with a high 140 kg rider capacity and suspension front and rear.

The compromise: Basic front drum brake, and unlocked top speed of 30 km/h is modest compared with faster private-land scooters.

Inmotion Climber: who should compare it?

Riders considering dual-motor hill assistance in a foldable frame. Confirm the exact supplied configuration and state device requirements.

The compromise: No suspension and tubed tyres. An app riding limit alone does not verify public-riding eligibility.

Navee GT5 Max: who should compare it?

Commuters wanting Navee's longest range current model, with a rear disc brake and higher 130 kg rider capacity than the GT3 Pro.

The compromise: Global spec sheets list region-specific top speeds from 25 to 32 km/h; confirm the exact AU firmware limit with the retailer.

Kaabo Mantis King GT: who should compare it?

Riders who want strong dual motor performance and hydraulic suspension for private land or track use.

The compromise: At over 70 km/h and 33.2 kg, this is a private land device. AU retailer stock is inconsistent.
