Inexpensive portable electric scooters have electronic or regenerative brakes.Budget to midrange electric scooters have a regenerative and disc brake. Some have a foot brake as a third feature.

Premium to high-performance brakes have a disc and drum brake.

Extreme electric scooters have hydraulic brakes.

 Based on our tests, disc brakes are the most effective. However, keep in mind that the quality of the components – regardless of what kind of brake you have – can affect the overall performance.

The higher overall cost of hydraulic brakes, and the bikes they come equipped on, is a big factor too, which is obviously one to take into consideration when weighing everything up.

For off-road riders who want the best braking performance, hydraulic disc brakes are the way to go. For more casual riders and commuters, mechanical disc brakes will get the job done.

If you’re on a budget, make sure that you get a disc brake paired with your regenerative brake. This ensures that you have independent brakes on both wheels. Even if electric scooter laws limit you at 25 km/h, this is still significantly fast and could lead to injury if you’re not careful.
