Some examples of electric moped brands include NIU, Apollo, and Monday Motorbikes.


Overall, electric scooters come in a variety of names and styles to suit differing needs and preferences. Whether you're looking for a sustainable, compact mode of transportation or a recreational device to zip around on, there is an electric scooter out there that's perfect for you.
