With some
electric scooters being powerful enough to go over 20mph, the brakes are one of the most important safety features.
Electric scooters can come with varied types of brakes, the common types include disc brakes and electric brakes as they're light weight keeping the scooters easy to carry.
Disc brakes have many more benefits, they still work very well in wet conditions and provide great control and power when braking, they're also much easier to maintain and adjust if needed. So with all these fantastic benefits, we're looking at which are the best electric scooters with disc brakes.

helmet and other safety equipment such as knee pads and additional body armour.
