Best Folding Electric Scooter in Australia
Electric scooters are becoming increasingly popular in Australia. In 2022, about 3.6 million Australian adults had tried e-scooters, which is around 18% of the adult population. Even though owning one was still banned in some states, there were roughly 250,000 private e-scooters on the roads. By 2024, that number jumped to about 400,000. It clearly shows how quickly Aussies are jumping on board and loving these rides.
