What to check before buying a 30 MPH electric scooter under $500

Budget tips

• Budget $30–80 for a DOT-rated helmet and a sturdy lock if not included.
• Check whether your city requires registration, lights after dark, or bike-lane-only riding.
• Solid-tire models save on flats; keep a pump handy if you choose pneumatic tires.
• Recheck live Amazon pricing—flash sales can move scooters above or below $500 quickly.
