The handlebar and optional suspension can keep riders safer and stabler on bumpy roads. For bikers, it is a piece of cake riding e-scooters. While for those who do not know how to ride a bike, learning to ride skateboards or unicycles also seems a challenge compared to learning to ride e-scooters.

Just like riding bikes, riding an electric scooter brings you a lot of fun besides functionality. When it runs out of juice, you can even ride it like a normal scooter and exercise yourself.
