electric scooter

Battery-powered standing vehicle

An electric scooter is a two-wheeled vehicle powered by a battery and motor.

The most common type is a standing scooter with a platform between the wheels and handlebars for steering—ubiquitous in cities as rentable transport: I grabbed an electric scooter to get to the meeting.

The term also covers seated scooters resembling small motorcycles, and mobility scooters for people with limited walking ability.
