11 Best Electric Scooters Under $1000 in 2024

What should a good electric scooter cost? That question seemed easier to answer in earlier years. In 2024, the best manufacturers have seriously upped their quality and performance-per-dollar ratio, bringing us some of the best budget electric scooters under $600 and the best electric scooters under $1000.

Comparing the best under-$1,000 entry-level and intermediate models with those from previous years shows just how competitive the under-$IK market has become, with new models, new designs, new tech, and some surprises from a few companies we thought we had pegged.

We’ve got new models like the outstanding VMAX VX2 Pro GT and the Okai Neon Ultra ES40, a scooter that dares to take on the mighty Segway Ninebot Max G2. Minimotors, the inventor of dual motor scooters, returns with scooters like the single motor Dualtron Togo Plus, while GOTRAX goes the other way, making reliable sub-$1K dual motor scooters like the new GOTRAX GX Zero.

Just to mention a few. How do you choose? Read our detailed list at Electric Scooter Guide and see a quick reference summary below with reliability scores, IP ratings, UL certifications, where applicable, and best prices.
