Swap your battery in 10 seconds. Charge it at your desk, in a coffee shop, or anywhere with a wall outlet. Carry a spare in your backpack for unlimited range. That’s what a truly removable battery means — and only Levy delivers it.
Most electric scooters trap the battery inside the deck, forcing you to drag the whole scooter to an outlet. A removable battery eliminates that friction and unlocks benefits no fixed-battery scooter can match.
Pull the 3.5 lb battery out of the stem and charge it at your desk, in a restaurant, or on a shelf at home. No more wheeling a 30+ lb scooter to the nearest outlet or running an extension cord across your apartment. If you live in a walk-up, you only carry the battery upstairs — not the whole scooter.
Carry a spare battery in your backpack and swap it mid-ride to double your range instantly. The Levy Plus with two batteries reaches up to 40 miles — enough for a full day of riding. No other scooter in this price range gives you that kind of flexibility.
Every lithium battery loses capacity over time. On a fixed-battery scooter, that means replacing the entire vehicle. On a Levy, you swap in a fresh battery for $164–$249 and your scooter performs like new. It’s the sustainable, economical choice.
Levy batteries are housed in a fireproof case with overcharge circuit protection and premium Panasonic/LG 18650 cells — the same cell type used in Tesla vehicles. Stored inside the handlebar stem rather than under the floorboard, the battery is protected from water, road impacts, and debris.
Every Levy scooter is built around our quick-release removable battery. Pick the model that fits your commute.

Levy’s quick-release system is the fastest battery swap on any consumer electric scooter. No tools, no hassle — just twist, slide, and ride.
Insert your key into the lock at the base of the handlebar stem and turn it to the unlock position. The battery compartment releases instantly.
Grip the battery handle and slide the pack straight out of the stem. The battery weighs just 3.5 to 5 lbs depending on your model.
Take your charged battery and slide it into the stem until it clicks into place. The battery is keyed so it only goes in one direction.
Turn the key back to the locked position, remove the key, and you are ready to ride. The entire swap takes about 10 seconds.

Every Levy battery has a built-in charging port and fireproof case. Grab a spare to double your range or replace an aging pack.
Every Levy battery has its own charging port, so you never need to bring the scooter to an outlet. Plug the battery in under your desk at work, on a shelf at home, or at a cafe during lunch. It’s the kind of convenience you don’t realize you need until you have it.
Carry one or two spare batteries and swap them in seconds when your current pack runs low. Each battery fits easily in a backpack. With three Levy Plus batteries, you could ride 60 miles in a single day without ever plugging in. Use our range calculator to plan your rides.
Levy batteries are encased in a fireproof housing with overcharge circuit protection. Stored inside the handlebar stem instead of under the floorboard, they are naturally shielded from water, potholes, and road debris. And because battery technology improves every year, you can upgrade to a newer, higher-capacity pack without buying a new scooter.
Levy uses the same premium 18650 lithium cells found in Tesla vehicles and other industry-leading EVs. These cells deliver more charge cycles, more consistent power output, and better longevity than the generic cells found in budget scooters. You get more miles per charge and more years of reliable performance.

“The Levy electric scooter packs swappable batteries and thoughtful design for $500.”
An electric scooter with a removable battery has a battery pack that can be physically detached from the scooter frame. This lets you charge the battery separately from the scooter, carry spare batteries for extended range, and replace aging batteries without replacing the entire scooter. Levy is the only U.S. brand that designs its scooters specifically around a quick-release removable battery system.
Several electric scooters offer removable batteries, but most require tools or significant disassembly. The Levy Electric Scooter ($529) and Levy Plus ($749) feature a true tool-free, quick-release battery stored in the handlebar stem. Other brands like Hiboy, Segway, and GoTrax offer some models with removable batteries, but none match the speed or simplicity of the Levy system.
Swapping a Levy battery takes about 10 seconds. You turn the key lock at the base of the stem, slide the battery out, slide a fresh one in, and lock it. No tools required. This makes it the fastest battery swap system available on any consumer electric scooter.
Yes. The Levy battery weighs just 3.5 lbs and the Levy Plus battery weighs 5 lbs. Both are compact enough to fit in a standard backpack, messenger bag, or even a large jacket pocket. Many riders carry a spare battery on longer commutes so they can swap mid-ride and double their range.
With two batteries, the Levy Original reaches up to 20 miles and the Levy Plus reaches up to 40 miles of range. Your actual range depends on rider weight, terrain, speed, and temperature. Use our range calculator at levyelectric.com/electric-scooter-range-calculator for a personalized estimate.
The Levy Original battery charges in about 3 hours. The Levy Plus battery charges in about 4 hours. Because the battery is removable, you can charge it at your desk, in a coffee shop, or anywhere with a standard wall outlet while you go about your day.
Yes. Every Levy battery is encased in a fireproof housing with built-in overcharge circuit protection. The batteries use premium Panasonic and LG 18650 lithium cells, the same cell type used in Tesla vehicles. The battery is stored inside the handlebar stem, protecting it from water, impacts, and road debris.
Levy replacement batteries start at $164 for the Original battery (6.4Ah, 8-10 miles), $199 for the Plus battery (10.4Ah, 15 miles), and $249 for the Plus Extended Range battery (12.8Ah, 20 miles). This is significantly cheaper than replacing an entire scooter when the battery degrades.
No. Levy batteries are stored inside the handlebar stem, not under the floorboard like most scooters. This stem-mounted design actually provides better water protection than floor-mounted batteries. The battery compartment is sealed and weather-resistant, so you can ride confidently in light rain.
Yes. Levy Electric was founded in New York City and is headquartered at 93 Ludlow Street on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Levy is the only U.S.-based electric scooter company that designs its scooters with a truly swappable, removable battery system. All customer support is based in New York.
