Scooters That B.E.S.T Has Tried And Tested

Hello there, BESTies!

We've been receiving a lot of inquiries about electric scooters lately, so we thought we'd share our thoughts on the best ones on the market based on what we've tried and tested in Bahrain.

Electric scooters are becoming more and more popular as a way to get around Bahrain. They're eco-friendly, affordable, and a lot of fun to ride.

We took them on all sorts of terrain, from the city streets of Manama to the beachfront of Muharraq and as far are the bike paths of Jumeirah in Zallaq.

We're excited to share our findings with you, so you can find the perfect scooter for your needs in Bahrain. We'll be covering everything from price, range, and speed to weight and portability, so you can make an informed decision.
