DRAGONFLY HYPERSCOOTER DF

FOUR WHEELS GOOD

The Dragonfly Hyperscooter DF is unlike any scooter we've ever seen. It not only comes with four wheels instead of the typical two, but it also has a 3D full-tilt steering system that makes you feel like you're snowboarding or skiing rather than just riding a scooter. That makes for an engaging yet very stable ride. Of course, having four wheels means opportunity for four-wheel braking, which it (surprise, surprise) does have. If you do need a little pep in your transportation, the Hyperscooter DF also reaches a range of 50 miles and speeds of up to 25mph - although don't exceed the currrent UK limit of 15.5mph on public land.

ÄIKE T 

USB, SEE

The Äike T may be the most traditional looking electric scooter on this list, but don't let that fool you. Instead of using a giant power brick, this scooter is the first model that charges via USB-C, which is fast becoming the universal port for data and power transmission. So, after powering up your laptop and smartphone, you can plug the Äike T into the same cable. While that is its marquee feature, it also has GPS-enabled theft protection and can handle riders up to 150kg. It's also incredibly weather resistant, handling any temperature between -17 and 35°C.
