The RS2 has three riding modes – Beginner, Normal and Sport – and you can switch between these by pressing the function button on the throttle. The Beginner mode’s maximum speed is set at just over 6mph, Normal at 9mph andSport is 15.5mph. Before we go any further, it is important to clarify that electric scooters are classified as Personal Light Electric Vehicles (PLEVs) and therefore illegal to ride in the UK unless you’re riding on private land with the landowner’s permission. Offenders caught could be penalised and receive points on their driving licence. In contrast, e-scooters are legal in most European countries and US states. We recommend riders always wear a helmet and follow the manufacturer’s safety guidelines before riding.

I found you could really carry speed through corners, and not have any fear of losing grip or slipping. The brakes on the Hummingbird consist of a rear mechanical disk brake and the regenerative braking of the motor. There is no additional pedal brake on this scooter which is a bit of a shame, although you don’t really miss it. We found that even from 15mph that stopping can be quite rapid, although you have to allow a bit more room to stop in the wet.

The display on the handlebars is equally as good and is rated at IP54 waterproofness. This is good enough to ride in drizzle/rain, but you wouldn’t want it pounding down in jets. You can actually buy a separate rubber case to go over the display to provide some extra protection against the elements.I found that because most of the weight is in the handle, it's easier to carry than rival scooters where the weight is in the board. Our electric scooters for kids are the perfect introduction to the world of scooters without compromising on safety. Offering a responsive throttle and breaks and enough speed for your kids to feel the thrill of our children’s electric scooter, hop on the Decathlon kiddies electric scooter for your young thrill seekers to get a taste of battery-powered fun outdoors. Out of the box, the Riley RS1 strikes you as a well designed piece of engineering . It bears a passing resemblance to the excellent Segway Ninebot G30 Max but at almost half the weight (13kg vs 23kg) and 45% cheaper I would say the Riley has several factors in its favour (if the enormous range of the Segway is not high up your list of priorities).
