When it’s too far to walk but too short to drive, then maybe one of the best electric scooters is the answer. Electric scooters have exploded in popularity because they’re easy to use and zip you around quickly. And, because they’re more compact than bikes, they’re easier to store in apartments and smaller spaces.

The best electric scooter for those on a budget is the TK1. This scooter has fairly modest specs — a 250W motor and a range of just 35 miles — but it costs just $300, and will be more than enough for most people who only need to travel short distances.
