I didn’t plan to buy an electric scooter.
I just got tired of waiting for late buses and watching Ubers get more expensive by the week.
Gas prices weren’t helping either. And walking? Not in -10°C.
So I started looking. Googled “best electric scooters in Canada” and got a flood of reviews — most of them clearly written by someone who’s never ridden one through slush.
That’s why I put this together.
Not just a list of specs, but a breakdown of what actually matters if you’re commuting in Canada.
The range in real-world weather. The weight when you’re dragging it up the condo stairs. The legality (yep, that’s a thing). And whether the battery survives a freezing morning in Toronto.
If you're figuring out which scooter makes sense for your day-to-day, this guide’s for you.
Let’s break it down.

I didn’t care about specs in the beginning. I just needed something that actually worked, something reliable when the usual options weren’t. So here’s what actually matters when you're picking a scooter that works in Canada, not just on paper, but in your day-to-day.
Forget the “up to 80 km” marketing. That’s best-case scenario, in perfect weather, with a featherweight rider. Cold mornings drain batteries faster, so if your round trip is 20 km, aim for a range of at least 40 km. Don’t trust range claims without factoring in Canadian winters.
If you live in a condo or take transit part of the way, weight matters a lot. Anything over 55 lbs starts getting annoying to carry. Light scooters are easier to fold, lift, and store. You’ll feel every extra pound when you’re climbing stairs or wrestling it into a trunk.
We get rain. We get slush. Some days, we get all four seasons in one afternoon. Make sure your scooter has a solid IP rating (at least IP54) and tires that can grip wet pavement. And if it’s got exposed wiring? Skip it.
Every province plays by different rules. Some cap speed at 32 km/h, others ban scooters from sidewalks or roads entirely. Check your city’s bylaws before you buy or risk spending $1,000+ on something you can’t legally use.
If you’re in a flat part of town, most 350W–500W motors will do fine. But if your commute involves hills (hello, Vancouver), look for 600W+ or dual motors. Slow scooters on a steep incline feel like punishment.
If style matters to you, fair enough. Some scooters do look cleaner, more modern, more “not a toy.” Just don’t let design fool you into ignoring range, weight, or braking power. Cool doesn’t count if it dies halfway to work.
Tiny tires, no suspension, and a stiff deck = every crack in the road gets transferred straight to your knees. If you’re commuting more than 15 minutes daily, prioritize ride comfort, look for 10-inch tires, decent shock absorption, and solid grips.
Keep these factors in mind while you scroll through the options. The specs only make sense when you know what matters in your day-to-day.
1. How much are electric scooters?
Electric scooters range from $300 to $3,000+, depending on battery size, speed, range, and features. Commuter models average $600–$1,200 in Canada.
2. How fast do electric scooters go?
Most electric scooters reach speeds of 25–32 km/h. High-performance models can hit 45–70+ km/h, but legal limits vary by region, often capped at 32 km/h.
3. Are electric scooters for adults legal in Canada?
Yes, electric scooters for adults are legal in many Canadian provinces, but speed limits and helmet laws vary. Always check local bylaws before riding on public roads.
4. What are the best electric scooters for commuting?
The best electric scooters for commuting include models like the Apollo Phantom, NIU KQi3 Pro, and EMOVE Cruiser S, offering great range, comfort, and portability for everyday use.
That’s my list. Built for how people actually commute, not just what looks good on paper. If you're still unsure, scroll back through the picks.
The comparison table helps you weigh what matters—range, weight, and price.
Once you know what fits your day-to-day, pick the one that gets you there without the hassle. Doesn’t have to be perfect. Just has to work for you.
