Average price by category
Prices vary significantly depending on scooter type. Travel scooters start from as little as £530, while heavy-duty and off-road models can exceed £4,000. The biggest jump is between pavement and road categories — road-legal scooters cost roughly twice as much on average, reflecting the larger batteries, higher top speeds, and additional safety equipment required.
Average price by class
Class 3 scooters cost more than double their Class 2 equivalents on average. The premium pays for road-legal features: higher top speed (8mph vs 4mph), larger batteries for longer range, and mandatory safety equipment including lights, indicators, mirrors, and a horn.
Average price by brand
Brands with 3 or more models in our database. Average prices reflect each brand's product mix — brands focused on Class 3 models naturally have higher averages.

More breakdowns
By battery type
Sealed lead-acid (SLA) scooters average slightly more than lithium-ion — not because the batteries are pricier, but because SLA is standard in larger, higher-spec Class 3 models. Lithium-ion is more common in compact folding and travel scooters.
| Type | Models | Average |
|---|---|---|
| Lithium-ion | 31 | £2,452 |
| Sealed lead-acid | 92 | £2,705 |
By wheel count
3-wheel scooters average significantly more than 4-wheel models. This is because half of all 3-wheelers are Class 3 road-legal scooters, while the 4-wheel category includes a large number of budget travel and pavement models that bring the average down.
| Wheels | Models | Average |
|---|---|---|
| 3-wheel | 15 | £3,545 |
| 4-wheel | 103 | £2,372 |
| 5-wheel | 5 | £5,475 |
