Electric scooters are a lot heavier – I found them cumbersome on the commute – and there's currently more restrictions on where you can use them. On that point, I've included a FAQ section at the bottom of this article that covers the legality of scooters, which is surprisingly not straightforward. For now, suffice to say that manual scooters are basically fine anywhere; and electric scooters are now. Electric scooters cannot be used on the road in the UK and Micro duly advise against this.
