The middle of the range E2 scooter for $140 goes younger, meant for ages 8 and up and for riders standing at 120 pounds or less. It moves at a slower speed and its battery can ride 8.5 miles on a charge.
The cheapest scooter, the E1, comes in at $120 and is also meant for children ages 8 and up while weighing 120 pounds or lighter. The scooter itself can go 7.5 miles on a charge, and the company claims it will have a lightweight frame that is easier to transport -- possibly making it ideal for taking to a park.
The announcement of the three scooters comes as the toy industry converges in New York for Toy Fair 2020, which takes place at the Javits Center starting Saturday. The three scooters will be among the many toys getting their reveal on the show floor, including Disney's Star Wars toy reveals, featuring the affectionately named Baby Yoda, and a kitchen set that works with Amazon Alexa devices.
