What’s the best way to get around town when you need transportation but you don’t want the expense of a car? You could opt for a bicycle, but they’re not always convenient.

If you’ve been thinking of getting a motorized scooter, but weren’t sure of which one to get, we rounded up the best-beloved electric scooters you can find on Amazon.
