    Hi
    I am thinking of buying an electric scooter for the summer.
    What does it look like with the regulations now, is it still worth being interested in or is it better to ride a bike?
    If someone already has it, he could recommend something or express opinions that should not be taken into account.
    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    I have a xiaomi m365 and for such a price it is probably the best option when I bought it cost something around PLN 1600 now you will find a few hundred cheaper.
    It is not some speed demon, but it does the trick.

    Maybe write something about the requirements?
    * Who will be driving? (child, adult, how many kg)
    * Where will it drive (asphalt, pavements, gravel, day / night)
    * What is important for the rider (speed, charging range, comfort, taking shopping, etc.)

    here anyone can recommend their scooter to you, but that's not the point.

    I have a scooter from Velex. Their adult scooter model Velex L810 allows me to quickly move around the city (up to 35 km / h). I tested the 10 Ah battery range and managed to do 50 km. In addition, it is comfortable to ride thanks to the front suspension and inflatable wheels. It's worth the repair for 2.5 thousand.

    A 10Ah battery and 50km on a scooter, it can be assumed that the user weighed a maximum of 55 kg.
    I have a Vsett 9+ 48V 21Ah which gives approximately 1000Wh with my weight of 90kg, the average range from several trips around Tychy and Katowice is 34 km.
    For example my wife weighing much less than I am doing at this revelation of 50km range.

    It should be added that we are driving with a limit of up to 25 km / h after unlocking at an average speed of 35 km / h, it can drop by 30%

    Hey, I, for example, can recommend the Manta scooter. My son is older now and bought himself a young rider model, and the battery really lasted.

FAQ

TL;DR: Around PLN 1,600 for a Xiaomi M365; “It is not some speed demon, but it does the trick.” For summer rides, define your weight, terrain, and range, then compare scooters vs bikes and local rules. [Elektroda, Robert-81, post #18377569]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps Polish riders decide if an e‑scooter fits their summer commute, what to buy under PLN 2,000, and how to ride legally.

Quick Facts

  • Expect a broad market: PLN 1,000–10,000 covers budget to premium e‑scooters. [Elektroda, Robert-81, post #18377515]
  • Use the cycle path if available; road riding only on streets limited to 30 km/h or less. [“Hulajnoga elektryczna – nowe przepisy”]
  • Legal speeds: up to 20 km/h on cycle infrastructure; on sidewalks match pedestrian speed and yield. [“Hulajnoga elektryczna – nowe przepisy”]
  • Real‑world range: 90 kg rider, Vsett 9+ (48V 21Ah ≈1000 Wh) got ~34 km; 35 km/h cut range ~30%. [Elektroda, Bemx2k, post #19367228]
  • Under PLN 2,000, Xiaomi M365 is a frequent value pick among users. [Elektroda, Robert-81, post #18377569]

What are the current e‑scooter rules in Poland?

Ride on cycle paths or bike lanes when available. If none exist, you may use roads limited to 30 km/h or less. Sidewalks are allowed only when no path exists and the road limit exceeds 30 km/h. On sidewalks, match pedestrian speed and give way. [“Hulajnoga elektryczna – nowe przepisy”]

Do I need a license or permit to ride?

Adults do not need a license. Riders aged 10–18 must hold a cycling card. Children under 10 may ride only in residential zones under adult supervision. These age rules apply to public roads and paths. [“Hulajnoga elektryczna – nowe przepisy”]

Is an electric scooter worth it vs a bike for summer commuting?

E‑scooters save effort on short urban trips and store easily. Some riders still prefer bikes for exercise and simplicity. One commenter wrote, “Personally, I bet on the bike.” Try both options if possible. [Elektroda, H3nry, post #18377514]

How much should I budget for an electric scooter?

Set a clear budget first. Users report prices ranging from PLN 1,000 to PLN 10,000. Decide your range before comparing features. [Elektroda, Robert-81, post #18377515]

What’s a solid option under PLN 2,000?

Xiaomi M365 is a common value choice in this bracket. One buyer paid about PLN 1,600. He noted, “It is not some speed demon, but it does the trick.” Match it to light urban use. [Elektroda, Robert-81, post #18377569]

How far can a 90 kg rider travel on ~1000 Wh?

A 90 kg rider reported 34 km on a Vsett 9+ (48V 21Ah, ~1000 Wh). He sometimes rode unlocked at about 35 km/h. At that pace, his range dropped by around 30%. Use these numbers with a safety buffer. [Elektroda, Bemx2k, post #19367228]

Are 50 km ranges on 10 Ah batteries realistic?

Skeptically evaluate such claims. One rider said “a 10Ah battery and 50 km” implies a rider of “maximum of 55 kg.” At 90 kg, he achieved ~34 km from ~1000 Wh. Rider mass strongly influences range. [Elektroda, Bemx2k, post #19367228]

What rider needs should I define before buying?

Write down basics first: rider weight; terrain (asphalt, pavements, gravel); day or night use; speed and range targets; comfort and cargo. Clear requirements avoid random picks and save money. [Elektroda, cracket, post #18667250]

Does suspension and tire type matter for comfort?

Yes. A rider highlighted the Velex L810’s front suspension and inflatable wheels as comfortable. He reported up to 35 km/h and tested 50 km from a 10 Ah pack. Evaluate comfort features for your surfaces. [Elektroda, slawek3456, post #18802609]

Can I unlock to 35 km/h, and what happens to range?

Some scooters can be unlocked. One rider averaged 35 km/h when unlocked. His range fell by about 30% at that speed. Faster riding trades energy for time; plan accordingly. [Elektroda, Bemx2k, post #19367228]

Is it legal to ride on the sidewalk or the road?

Cycle path comes first. If unavailable, ride on roads limited to 30 km/h or less. Use sidewalks only when no path exists and the adjacent road exceeds 30 km/h. On sidewalks, keep pedestrian speed and yield. [“Hulajnoga elektryczna – nowe przepisy”]

Do kids need a cycling card, and what’s the minimum age?

Yes. Riders aged 10–18 must have a cycling card. Children under 10 may ride only in residential zones under adult supervision. Adults do not need a license. [“Hulajnoga elektryczna – nowe przepisy”]

How do I pick the right scooter in three steps?

  1. Define rider weight, terrain, and riding time (day/night).
  2. Choose priorities: speed, range, comfort, cargo.
  3. Set a budget, then shortlist models that meet those needs. [Elektroda, cracket, post #18667250]
