Electric skateboards are based on traditional manual skateboards, plus a power kit for transportation. The current electric skateboards are generally divided into two-wheel drive or single-wheel drive. The common transmission methods are: hub motor (HUB), and belt drive. The main power source is lithium battery pack.

The electric scooter is controlled in the same way as a traditional electric bicycle. It is easy to be learned by the driver. It is equipped with a detachable and foldable seat. It is simpler than the traditional electric bicycle, small in size, light and simple, and can save a lot of social resources. In recent years, the rapid development of lithium scooters for electric batteries has given rise to new demands and trends.

The electric scooter mainly includes an electric kick-scooter with a human foot that can slide and has an electric drive, and an electric scooter that mainly relies on a driving device.

The earlier electric scooters used lead-acid batteries, iron frames, external brush motors and belt drives. Although they are lighter than electric bicycles, they are not portable. The important progress is the combination of folding, light weight and compactness. After the compact and light folding electric scooter, it has attracted the attention of urban users and began to grow at a faster rate.
