Methodology

Value = ScooterRank overall score (0–100, from our 7-dimension percentile algorithm) divided by MSRP. We report both “points per $100” (higher is better) and “cost per point” (lower is better). Only published products with a score and a valid MSRP are included — scooters only. Prices are manufacturer MSRP — street prices and deals move the numbers, so treat rankings as directional.
