Does anyone have experience with an electric scooter?

Question

I'd like to use one for a three miles commute.

Answer 1

Do you mean a stand-up scooter like a Razor, or like a moped?  I own an electric moped that I use to commute to work (13 miles), unless I bike.

Answer 2

it should be fine --i have one i can ride about14 miles before i charge it- if it has a speedometer on it ride it around yor house and see how it does

Answer 3

I put an electric wheel on my wife's 1950's single speed bicycle. One can travel with ease up hills only a mountain bike would cope with. All at a steady 20-25kmh (15-18mph) Range ~30km (20miles)

Being a bicycle, some pedaling helps achieve this range but only light effort required. Headwinds and hills are no problem.

The journey of 3 miles would take ~10 minutes.

Being electric you just hop on and go.(disconnect charger first)

Answer 4

like a vespa?

because i had this one scooter (not sure of the name, sorry!) and it was only good for 5 blocks before it died.
