OOTD Electric Scooters

E-scooter rules vary significantly across Europe and change often. In Germany, private e-scooters need ABE certification and insurance and are capped at 20 km/h. In France the limit is 25 km/h on cycle lanes. In some countries private e-scooters are still not permitted on public roads at all.

Our scooters ship with a 25 km/h factory speed limit. Higher-output models are intended for off-road and private-land use. Always check your national and local regulations before riding.

Every range figure we publish is a best case, measured under favourable conditions. Real-world range is always lower and depends on rider weight, assist level, terrain, headwind, temperature and tyre pressure. Cold weather in particular can cut range noticeably.

As a rough guide, plan for around 60–75% of the headline figure in everyday mixed riding, and less again if you rely on throttle or ride hilly terrain.

Lithium batteries last longest when they are not stored at extremes. Avoid leaving the battery at 0% or sitting at 100% for weeks; around 40–60% is ideal for long storage. Charge indoors at room temperature, use the supplied charger, and avoid charging immediately after a hard ride while the pack is still hot.

Treated this way, you should expect several hundred full charge cycles before you see meaningful capacity loss.
