Israel's EZRaider takes the electric scooter into new territory – indeed, just about any territory – with a series of offroad-ready fouy-wheel beasts making up to 18 kilowatts. Rugged and fast with long-travel suspension, they look like 4x4 Segways.

Micro-mobility startup WheelKinetic has launched a squat little electric scooter called the BooZter which folds down to a portable package that can be carried by hand or thrown in a backpack.

Electric scooters typically consist of a tubular metal frame, covered with plastic body panels. Swedish startup Stilride is taking what it claims is a more eco-friendly approach with a scooter made from folded sheets of stainless steel.

BMW's wacky Concept Link electric scooter from 2017 is within a few months of becoming a super futuristic-looking production bike, and this new Definition CE 04 is the last time we'll see it without mirrors and a license plate.

While there are now a great number of folding electric scooters on the market, not all of them are particularly easy to transport once folded. The Ekooter looks like it should be, though, as it folds down into a sort of wheeled ring.

Folks wanting to leave the car at home may look to electric kickscooters for last mile transport solutions, but they're perhaps best suited to smooth pavement and can have the rider standing awkwardly. The Taur scooter is built for the road.

Folding electric kickscooters are a convenient way to zip from the transport hub to the office, and can be great fun too. Mercedes has its eyes on last mile commuters with a folding e-scooter that sports the no-nonsense moniker of eScooter.

While folding electric scooters are now a common sight, most of them still have fully rigid frames that bang over obstacles on the road. The Splach e-scooter is different, though, in that it incorporates front and rear coil-sprung suspension.

The current COVID-19 pandemic is forcing many to rethink how to safely travel to work, meaning an uptick in sales of ebikes and electric scooters. Kickscooter veteran Razor is looking to tap into this trend with a bunch of adult-oriented e-scooters.

With a fast-popping seat, mixed tires, plenty of suspension and a 14-kW electric powertrain, the Kuberg Ranger creates a category between dirt bike and scooter. Riders can kick up chunks of earth at 50 mph, sitting, standing or launching in the air.
-
Electric kick scoots accelerating to a frenetic 100 km/h (62 mph) on the straights, with leather-clad riders doing whatever the hell it takes to get one of those things slowed down and around the bends at race pace. This is going to be nuts.
