Ninebot KickScooter by Segway ES3

Spending $580 on an electric scooter might seem like an unnecessary splurge for a college student, but unless you’re living right on campus, you’re going to need an affordable way to get around. Cars need someplace to park, which is an added expense, and public transit may be unreliable or simply not accessible depending on the location of a school’s campus. An electric scooter is faster than walking, and unlike a bike, doesn’t leave you sweaty when you arrive at your destination. With a top speed of 15.5 MPH, the ES3 KickScooter isn’t the fastest option out there, but its 28 mile range should get you to where you need to go with minimal effort, and it folds up so you don’t need to risk leaving it locked up outside somewhere.
