About E-Scooter.au

Our Mission: Empowering Australian Riders

Welcome to E-Scooter.au, Australia's premier destination for electric scooter enthusiasts, commuters, and anyone curious about joining the micro-mobility revolution. We're not just another review site – we're a team of passionate riders who have collectively logged over 15,000 kilometres on electric scooters across Australian cities, suburbs, and trails.

Our journey began in early 2024 when our founder, frustrated by the lack of Australian-focused e-scooter information online, decided to create the resource he wished existed. Back then, most e-scooter guides were written for American or European markets, with little consideration for our unique conditions – from the scorching Queensland summers to Melbourne's unpredictable weather, from Sydney's steep hills to Perth's extensive coastal paths.

What Makes Us Different

At E-Scooter.au, we take a hands-on approach to everything we do. Every scooter featured on our site has been personally tested by our team in real Australian conditions. We don't just read spec sheets and regurgitate manufacturer claims – we actually ride these machines. We test battery performance in 40-degree heat. We evaluate braking systems on wet surfaces after a sudden storm. We carry our "portable" scooters up flights of stairs to see if they're truly commuter-friendly.

Our testing facility includes a measured track where we verify top speeds and range claims, a workshop where we examine build quality and repairability, and partnerships with local repair shops who give us insights into long-term reliability. When we say a scooter handles well on hills, it's because we've ridden it up the steep gradients of inner-city Brisbane. When we claim a battery lasts for 50 kilometres, we've actually depleted it from full to empty while riding at realistic commuter speeds.

Our Team of Enthusiasts

Our team brings together diverse expertise: mechanical engineers who understand motor efficiency and battery chemistry, former bicycle industry professionals who know what makes a quality two-wheeler, and everyday commuters who can speak to practical daily use. What unites us is a genuine passion for electric scooters and a commitment to helping fellow Australians navigate this exciting but sometimes confusing market.

We understand that buying an electric scooter is a significant investment. For many Australians, it represents a lifestyle change – a shift away from expensive parking, crowded public transport, and petrol costs. That's why we take our responsibility seriously. We never accept payment for positive reviews, and we always disclose our affiliate relationships transparently. When we recommend a product, it's because we genuinely believe it offers good value, not because of commercial arrangements.

Our Commitment to You

Whether you're a first-time buyer overwhelmed by options, a seasoned rider looking to upgrade, or simply curious about whether an e-scooter could work for your commute, we're here to help. Our guides are written in plain language, avoiding unnecessary jargon while still providing the technical details that matter. We break down complex topics like motor wattage, battery capacity, and braking systems into understandable concepts.

We also stay current with Australia's evolving e-scooter regulations. The legal landscape varies dramatically between states and territories, and even between councils. Our legal guides are regularly updated to reflect the latest changes, helping you stay on the right side of the law while enjoying your ride.

Thank you for choosing E-Scooter.au as your trusted resource. We're honoured to be part of your e-scooter journey, and we're committed to helping you find the perfect ride for your needs. If you ever have questions, feedback, or just want to share your e-scooter experiences, we'd love to hear from you.

Happy riding,
The E-Scooter.au Team
