At Verywell, we believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to a healthy lifestyle. Successful eating plans need to be individualized and take the whole person into consideration.

They’re easy to fold up, lighter than ebikes (usually), and you don’t need to wait on public transportation. We’ve spent more than four years testing over 40 electric scooters, and these are our favorites. There are a mind-melting number of companies and…
