Best Folding Electric Scooters
A folding electric scooter transforms your commute by bridging the gap between transit stops, parking lots, and your destination. The best folding scooters collapse into a compact package in seconds, making them easy to stow under a desk, carry onto a train, or tuck into a car trunk. Nearly every electric scooter folds these days, but the quality of the folding mechanism and the folded size vary enormously. We rank folding scooters by weight since portability is the entire point. Segway Ninebot, Unagi, Apollo, and Gotrax lead this category.

2024Buying Tips
- 1
The folding mechanism is a potential failure point. Avoid scooters with flimsy latch systems that develop play over time. Look for reinforced metal latches with locking pins.
- 2
Measure your storage space before buying. Some folded scooters are still 4 feet long and will not fit under a standard desk or in a small car trunk.
- 3
Quick-fold designs that collapse in under 3 seconds are ideal for commuters who fold and unfold multiple times per day.
- 4
Consider the folded dimensions, not just the weight. A 30 lb scooter that folds compactly is easier to manage than a 25 lb scooter with awkward handlebar protrusions.
