When you are new to the world of electric scooters, many users are looking for a product that is easy to use. With a 350W brushless motor, the electric scooter is a good way to get around town on a short trip.
It allows you to easily reach a place much faster than on foot and more economical than by car. Discover in this article our 350W electric scooter comparison presenting the 5 best-selling models in this category.
Why choose a 350W electric scooter?
In order to be able to ride legally on public roads, the electric scooter is limited to 25 km/h in France. With a machine equipped with a 350W motor, you will have sufficient power to drive up to this maximum speed.
At the entry level of electric scooters, 350W is already more than enough for city trips. These are carried out on flat or gently sloping roads and for routes of an average of 3 km.
Low-cost models for less than €250 generally have a 200W or 250W motor. These products offer more limited use of the electric scooter.
It is then better to invest in a 350W electric scooter with slightly more power to move with ease everywhere in town. You will then be able to climb slightly steeper slopes, where other machines stop due to lack of engine power.
Sufficient for short urban journeys
The 350W electric scooter is a good compromise as an easy-to-use means of transportation. The models presented below in our comparison are lightweight so they can be taken anywhere with you without any worries.
To compensate for their low capacity lithium battery (between 10 km and 20 km maximum range depending on the product), these EDPMs can be used in addition to a trip by public transport.
Unlike other more expensive electric scooters, however, you will have to compromise on comfort with hyper-flexible suspensions. But this is not the priority when deciding to use an electric scooter for a journey of less than 5 km.
What are the selection criteria?
If you want to buy a 350W electric scooter, what are the criteria to take into account when selecting your product? Weebot gives you the keys to make your choice based on your use.
The dimensions and weight
Many electric scooter users want to store their two wheels in their car trunk. This is why it is useful to look at the information available on the dimensions of the 350W electric scooter. The total length when folded can sometimes be too large for some car trunks.
As for the weight, it mainly depends on your ability to carry this EDPM. Whether carrying the electric scooter up stairs, or taking public transport, 1 or 2 extra kilos can make the difference in being complicated to transport.
Lightweight electric scooters are estimated to weigh up to 17kg. Beyond that, it is often more difficult to carry them at arm's length.
Battery autonomy
You should know that the battery is the component of the 350W electric scooter which weighs the most in the weight of the vehicle. The larger it is, the more autonomy it offers. Everything is then a question of compromise with the desired autonomy depending on your daily journeys.
Comparison of 350W electric scooters
5 models with 350 W motor have been selected by the Weebot team. Their maximum speed is 25 km/h on each of these products. But several differences can help you make your choice.

Inöe Tweeky: The best choice
The Inöe Tweeky is made for you if you are looking for an inexpensive and water-resistant electric scooter model. Many customers regularly drive in light rain and discover after a while that their product no longer works.
Driving in the rain eventually causes the battery to oxidize. If the Inöe Sweemie (at €699) allows you to ride in puddles, the Tweeky simply offers good protection from the rain , without being waterproof.
We do not recommend using it in rainy weather, but be aware that among all the models selected, this one will offer you the best guarantees against the oxidation of its battery with IP65 standard.
This 350W electric scooter from the French brand Inöe is equipped with 10-inch inflatable tires. By being larger, these tires offer a much safer and more comfortable ride than smaller tires.
It has a rear drum brake for better safety and shorter braking distances compared to the electromagnetic brake present in the 350W motor.
Equipped with good driving dynamics, the Tweeky is comfortable for everyday journeys up to 25 km/h with its 36 km of autonomy. Low energy consumption, this Inöe is one of the most autonomous in our comparison of 350W electric scooters with its 36V 10Ah battery.
Strengths of the Inöe Tweeky
- a French brand scooter
- good resistance to rain (IP65 but not waterproof)
- better ride thanks to large 10-inch tires
- very decent autonomy for the 350W range
- reasonable price of 539 €
Weaknesses of the Inöe Tweeky
- the weight of 17 kg
- a larger size than the Xiaomi
Speedway mini 4 Pro Lite
The design of the Speedway Mini 4 Pro Lite scooter is made in Korea, production is made in China. It must be admitted that the design of the scooter is very careful, which gives it this elegant, modern and ergonomic appearance.
You should also know that the chassis is made of aluminum, a guarantee of solidity and that the device supports a weight of up to 120 kg! The height of the Speedway Mini 4 Pro Lite electric scooter is easily adjustable, which we particularly like.
Furthermore, the Speedway Mini 4 Pro Lite is equipped with 8-inch wheels in soft rubber. The device also has a front shock absorber which makes it easier to ride. In fact, shocks linked to holes in the bitumen, paving stones or even manhole covers are absorbed and vibrations are further reduced.
It allows you to reach a maximum speed of 25 km/h like most of the other models in our comparison. Its range is approximately 30 km.
The Speedway Mini 4 Pro electric scooter is a very practical, ecological and above all efficient means of transport thanks to its power. However, its design is starting to show the weight of the years.
Highlights of the Speedway Mini 4 Pro Lite
- A well-balanced electric scooter
- Effective suspensions
Weak Points of the Speedway Mini 4 Pro Lite
- No water resistance
- A slightly more dated look
E-Twow Eco Light Plus
The E-TWOW Eco Light Plus electric scooter is intended for those who seek lightness above all. Known for the reliability of their electric scooters, the E-Twow brand is also known for their extreme lightness.
With a weight of 9.9 kg, the E-Twow Eco Light Plus is one of the lightest electric scooters on the market. It offers a maximum speed of 25 km/h with a range of approximately 15 to 20 km. Like all E-Twows, the Eco Light Plus is equipped with solid 8-inch soft rubber tires .
This makes it puncture-proof and it will be easy to use it daily. However, be careful when driving with solid wheels, especially on wet roads, which tend to slip.
Fast charging takes 2 hours to easily return to full charge. Easy to use, many users do not hesitate to transport their cheap E-Twow electric scooter on public transport due to the compactness and lightness of the device.
Strengths of the E-Twow Eco
- The lightest in our comparison
- The manufacturing quality of E-Twow
- Puncture-proof tire front and rear
Weaknesses of the E-Twow Eco
- No suspension
- We feel the vibrations a lot on uneven roads.
- Battery a little low
- Braking system not the most effective
Kugoo S1 Pro
The Kugoo S1 Pro has been hitting online sales platforms for a few years now. As an electric scooter specialist, we are generally skeptical of this type of product.
Its general line is modeled on what the E-Twow brand offers and we quickly understand that the Kugoo brand has rebadged an old product . The S1 Pro has characteristics very similar to the E-Twow Eco Light Plus with a slightly larger battery. Hence its weight is also higher, rising to 11.5 kg compared to 9.9 kg on the E-Twow.
A positive point is the presence of bright LED indicators integrated into the handles of the electric scooter. A way to increase your visibility but also your driving intentions when you want to turn.
Strengths of the Kugoo S1 Pro
- Quite light
- An inexpensive electric scooter
Weaknesses of the Kugoo S1 Pro
- Little chance of having access to after-sales service when purchasing this product
- A rebranded E-Twow
- Poor quality
My Xiaomi Pro 2 Scooter
We deviate slightly from the rule because this scooter has a 300W motor instead of 350W. This new model of 2021, the Xiaomi Pro 2 electric scooter, is the best-selling model in this ranking. Offered at a price of around 499 euros, it is possible to find it for less on the Internet.
Without compromising on quality, the Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi offers, with a weight of 14.2 kg, an ideal transport vehicle for short trips. Very easily foldable, the Xiaomi Pro 2 scooter has a 300W brushless motor allowing it to travel at a maximum speed of 25 km/h. This is sufficient for most of the routes for which it is intended, that is to say the city.
We thus find on this Xiaomi scooter an LCD control screen integrated into the handlebars offering various information, such as speed, driving mode, remaining battery level, etc... Its 8.5-inch inflatable inner tube wheels are now much more resistant than previous models of the Xiaomi M365.
But the advantage of this low-cost electric scooter is that it has a rear disc brake for safe riding on the road. Equipment found on generally more expensive models and which offer more effective braking. Very practical in full traffic.
This makes it an excellent scooter for beginners but also and especially for a teenager. What could be more reassuring for a parent than knowing that their child can move around independently and safely.
A quality investment for a low cost which is one of the best sellers in France of cheap electric scooters from Xiaomi as we saw in our comparison.
Strengths of the Xiaomi Pro 2
- Good quality of manufacturing
- Very easily found on various online stores
- Regularly on sale
- Fairly decent driving comfort
- A mechanical disc brake at the rear
Weak Points of the Xiaomi Pro 2
- A certain lack of originality in terms of look
- Inflatable tires sensitive to punctures
- The weakest motor in our comparison (300W)
