Study shows 3.6 million Aussies are using this one product — here's how you can get one for yourself

A recent study has shown that 3.6 million Aussies used a motorised scooter in a yearly period. That's over 13% of all Australians — and that number is only going up, thanks to scooters now being available to purchase at super affordable prices.

The benefits of a motorised scooter speak for themselves. Besides the minimised effort compared to use regular scooters or bicycles, motorised scooters also ensure a smooth and speedy journey to wherever you're going. They are really one of those technological marvels that'll have you thinking "Why didn't I buy one of these before?"

And, now, you can grab a truly top-of-the-line scooter with the 2024 X8 Pro 8000W 60V 38AH Dual Motor Foldable Electric Scooter — this is game changing transportation, lads.

Buy it for $1,767 AUD.

With top speeds of just over 100 km/h, this scooter is the perfect way to get from A to B. Not only that, but it takes just 6 - 8 hours to fully charge with a standard charger. And, on that one charge, it can travel up to 120kms, meaning you don't have to worry often about being stuck without charge.

Now, while your typical idea of motorised scooters might just be scooting through the streets, the X8 Pro's 14-inch tires and incredible shock absorption means this bad boy can go off-road. Whether its tar, gravel or sand, this scooter is built for it.

And don't get us started on the adjustable seat — if you're scooting long distance, you can actually give yourself some comfort without compromising performance. Get me on it immediately!

But the X8 Pro is not your only option. If you're looking for something that's a little more budget friendly, try the 2025 QuickWheel Electric Scooter 2.

With its unique and sleek, cylindrical design, this scooter is ergonomic and less clunky looking than what you're used to seeing on the streets. With a travel range of around 40km per charge, and a dual braking system, it's perfect for taking on the hustle and bustle of the city, getting you where you need to be in no time. Get ready to farewell the unreliability and stuffiness of public transport — you're hitting the road solo now.

Look, scooting isn't for everyone, and that's OK. But that doesn't mean you need to shy away from the motorised lifestyle, especially when there are motorised and electric bicycles out there that completely change the game. Case and point: the Engwe X26.

For those who prefer to cycle over scoot, the Engwe X26 should be your first stop when looking for that motorised or electric bike that's going to completely transform how you travel. With a hub-motor that's 58% stronger than other eBikes, and a travel range that's 38% longer than other eBikes, the Engwe X26 is a cut above the rest.

On top of that, with all-terrain, one-piece wheels and triple suspension, the Engwe X26 is ready for whatever adventure awaits you. Speaking of adventure, the Engwe X26's innovative dual battery system really prioritises your convenience first. The main battery gives you 78km of travel, and a second, swappable battery unleashes an extra 22km. That's 100kms of travel without ever having to stop for a top up. Your next Sunday cruise just got a whole lot more adrenaline-pumping, right?

Of course, before buying any electric or motorised bike or scooter, be sure to familiarise yourself with and abide by your city's laws and safety standards.

Now, get to scootin'!
