With the weather slowly improving and people venturing outside for longer, the many electric scooters available in Belgium’s cities can be an appealing choice to get around.
With seven e-scooter providers currently vying for customers in Belgium, choosing the best one can be confusing. In a recent test, RTBF journalists tried out the seven available brands and came up with a guide, taking into account the price, the geographical coverage (where they operate), the ease of use of the online app, and ride comfort.
