Voltz eScoot - £1,999.99 from voltz-retail.com

Fully charged, this splendid scooter will take you as far as 30 miles at speeds of up to 20mph, all while powering you along in total silence. The build quality is exceptional and each unit is hand made in the UK. A very high specification piece of kit, a tad hard on the wallet perhaps, but you get what you pay for here.

Mid range

Razor E100 Electric Scooter Red - £139.99 from smythstoys.com

This racing red number is one of the most popular electric scooters around the globe. Built to withstand being treated like a toy, it is recommended for younger riders from 8+ to get their mass travelling at up to 10mph. A twist to accelerate operation, the E100 gives about half an hour's pleasure from a full charge.

Look no hands

S5 - £899 from easyriders.co

An electric ride-on closely related to the hoverboard featured in Back To The Future nearly three decades ago, it'll certainly get you noticed. Propelling the rider along at up to 8mph, this gyroscope filled skateboard sized unit steers and speeds up (and slows) according to your body position. It takes a little practice leaning subtly to control it, but once mastered, you'll never be off it. Weighing in at just 10kg, it travels well when not in use too.

Sitting pretty

Razor E300S Scooter - £299.99 from argos.co.uk

Aimed squarely at older teens and adults, this one can carry 100KG of payload (read person) at up to 15mph. The E300S comes with a detachable seat should you wish to put it into sightseeing mode or take it off, twist the grip accelerator and go for thrill-seeker mode. A sturdy build that'll withstand the daily rigours of your use.

Tough nut

1000W 48V EVO Powerboard Electric Scooter - £424 from a mazon.co.uk

With all the looks of a scooter that could take on almost any terrain, and win, this top-of-the-range EVO scooter accepts almost any surface challenge you'd care to put in its way. A very decent suspension system, rear disc brakes, loaded with front and rear LED lights for after-hours, this foldable number is quite the head-turner.

Twisted classic

Electric Scooter - £599.95 from micro-scooters.co.uk

The undisputed kings of the scooter scene have now added an electric version to their burgeoning ranks of fine rides and it's quite the machine. The motor is built-in so you can hardly distinguish it from a manually operated version. Jump on, give yourself a push off and away you'll go. Select from one of three speeds and set yourself to smile.
