Where to Buy the Best Electric Scooters in Australia
Australia has embraced electric scooters in the past few years. While scooter laws differ from state to state, where escooters are legal, they’re becoming increasingly popular. If you’re an Australian reader of our site, however, you might see some scooters and wonder, “where can I get one of those?” Never fear, we’re here to help you find the best electric scooters in Australia.
Getting a new electric scooter should involve more than just clicking a button and waiting for delivery. You also want to make sure you’re buying a quality vehicle that won’t catch fire, lose power, or fall apart mid-ride. You want a solid warranty and service options should you need them.
Ideally, you want to buy an electric scooter from people who ride, fix, and love electric scooters. That describes both the shops on this list, Electric Kicks, based in Melbourne, and Voro Motors in Sydney. These are shops staffed by professionals who know and love scooters, and who stock the best electric scooters and ebikes on the market.
You’ll get good advice on maintenance and repair from these retailers, and while they have physical locations you can visit, they’re also both experienced sellers all around the country and the world.
Best Electric Scooters Available in Australia
Electric Kicks in Melbourne
Electric Kicks is based in Melbourne, but this scooter retailer serves all of Australia, delivering what one customer called “by far the best customer service and professionalism I have ever experienced.” That goes from sales to delivery to servicing your scooter should something go wrong.
Electric Kicks sells only the best brands in micromobility, and if you can make it to their physical location, you can test scooters from Apollo, Segway, Inokim, Pure, and more, as well as ebikes from Aventon and electric dirt bikes from Sur-ron.
We’ve listed five of our favorite scooters sold by Electric Kicks, along with a link to our full review of each one. This year, we’ve given every scooter we’ve tested a reliability rating from 1-10 that gauges long-term durability by averaging warranty length, parts availability, water resistance, and eight more factors, and we’ve included that score with each scooter listed.

Voro Motors in Sydney
Voro Motors has been making and selling electric scooters for as long as we’ve been riding and reviewing them. Originally founded in Singapore by escooter fanatic Melvin Lin, the company relocated to the US when Singapore banned scooters, and now has stores in Los Angeles, Miami, Brooklyn, NY, and San Francisco.
Voro is also the manufacturer of some of the best electric scooters on the planet, through their EMOVE brand, which makes the Touring, Cruiser, and Roadrunner, all on our list below. Oh, and they also make the fastest production electric scooter we’ve ever tested, the EMOVE Roadster – which we’ve clocked at 72.1 miles per hour and which is available at Voro Australia.
Voro Australia is based in Sydney, and they’d love to have you schedule a test ride if you’re nearby. You can check out the brand-new E Ride Pro, Voro’s own electric dirt bike, on sale now for $7,645 AUD and in stock now at Voro Motor’s Australian warehouse.
The E Ride Pro promises an “out of the box speed” of 32.1 kmph and an “insane unlocked top speed” of 96.5 kmph. We’ll have to take Voro’s word for it, for now, but we’ll get one on the test track soon at our sibling site, Rider Guide.
For now, check out the testimonials on Voro’s site and see our five favorite electric scooters from Voro just below.

Voro’s house brand, EMOVE, has accomplished a rare feat: they make time-tested, affordable commuter scooters like the Touring and Cruiser that are some of the most well-reviewed and best-selling electric scooters on the market.

Kaabo’s dual motor electric scooters are world-renowned for their performance and innovative quality. They’ve won scooter races around the world and tackled some of the toughest terrain.
