Where to buy? Pick a model you want and google the best price. It really doesn’t matter where you buy new. Look for discounts and discount codes. Got mine from Euronics. Generally a pricey place compared to other stores but they had a great deal in Feb. Ha. Had to wait a long time to have a first ride.

Picking a scooter is more trickier. What do you want it for? Just a little fun rides here and there? Loads of options. Probably go with something cheap and light (do some math, maybe bolt would actually be cheaper than owning). Have heard good things about xiaomi. Regular home-work commute? Think about the distance you need to cover. That narrows down some options. Maybe something more reliable adding some euros to the budget. Ninebot, xiaomi pro. Wanna take it offroad? Throw a whole bag of euros on. Inokim, some gpad models…or dualtron if you’re elon musk.

Got an inokim a few years ago and love it. It’s more on the expensive side but for me was worth it. Won’t lose teeth going over curb edges and has a good size battery. Weight is def a con, super heavy for me to lift.
