Speeds range from 10 km/h to 110 km/h and above, depending mainly on motor and battery size. Many countries cap speeds in public spaces at 20–25 km/h, and Ireland restricts them to 20 km/h.
In Ireland, e-scooters are legal if they have no seat or saddle, a maximum rated motor output of 400 W (not peak power) and a maximum weight of 25 kg including the battery. They must also have lights, a bell or warning device, reflectors and brakes, and be roadworthy at all times. They may be used on roads and cycle paths but not footpaths. These rules do not apply on private property. LOCO's own-brand scooters are regulation ready.
Directly from the LOCO Scooters website or in our stores. We stock only high-quality models with a solid warranty and handle all warranty repairs in-house. Whoever you buy from, ask about warranty terms, where parts are sourced and how repairs are handled.
It depends on the motor output and the incline. Manufacturers specify the climbable incline, which is listed in the spec tables on product pages.
LOCO's products range from €399 to over €5,000. E-scooters under €350 often use poor-quality components, especially batteries, which can mean shorter lifespans, reduced range and more issues.
Typically 5–6 hours, rising to up to 12 hours for larger batteries. Check the user manual for exact times. LOCO's range takes 4–5 hours.
Some can and some can't. Water resistance is set by the IP rating; a higher rating means more protection. A scooter with no IP rating is a red flag, since rain can damage the controller and battery. The page states every LOCO scooter is waterproof with proper IP ratings. See our warranty for how water damage is treated.
Most travel at speeds similar to bicycles, so similar precautions apply. We recommend a quality helmet and high-vis clothing, especially in low light. In Ireland, use cycle lanes and roads, never footpaths. Safe riding also depends on the rider's behaviour.
Most can be pushed or freewheeled downhill, but manual use isn't advised as it may cause motor issues. Braking systems usually only work when the scooter is switched on.
