With the increasing popularity of the concept of green travel, electric scooters, as a convenient and environmentally friendly means of transportation, are increasingly favored by consumers around the world. Especially in terms of short-distance commuting in cities and travel, electric scooters have shown strong practicality. So the question is, Can electric scooters be carried at airports or on public transportation? This article will provide you with a detailed analysis of the relevant regulations and precautions to help you better plan your trip.
Airport security is very strict about the management of battery products. Most electric scooters are equipped with lithium batteries, and the capacity of lithium batteries determines whether they can be boarded.
According to the regulations of the International Air Transport Association (IATA):
If the capacity of a lithium battery does not exceed 100Wh, it can usually be carried on board the aircraft;
Batteries with a capacity between 100Wh and 160Wh must be approved by the airline;
Lithium batteries exceeding 160Wh are prohibited from boarding (whether checked or carried on).
Since most electric scooters usually have a battery capacity of more than 200Wh, most electric scooters cannot be brought on board, either as carry-on or checked baggage.
Flywo electric scooters look similar to electric bicycles, with stronger structure and riding comfort, but this also means that they are classified as "special transport equipment". Therefore, some airlines directly refuse to check or carry such products.
Compared with air transportation, public transportation has slightly looser management of electric scooters, but there are also regional regulations.
In some countries and regions, subways allow foldable electric scooters to be brought into the carriage, provided that:
The scooter must be in a folded state;
It must not affect the passage or safety of other passengers;
Some cities require electric scooters to be powered off or the battery removed.
For example:
In places such as Germany and the Netherlands, electric scooters can be brought into the subway;
In cities such as Singapore and Hong Kong, it may be prohibited to bring them during certain time periods or on certain routes.
The restrictions on electric scooters on buses are mainly due to size and safety. Although Flywo electric scooters are large in size, some models support foldable design and are suitable for urban commuting. If you plan to travel by bus, it is recommended to confirm the relevant regulations with the transportation company in advance to avoid temporary refusal to carry.
Even if you can't take them on the plane, there are still several ways to achieve long-distance transportation:
Many international logistics companies such as DHL, FedEx, UPS, etc. provide international transportation services for electric scooters, but they need to:
Disassemble the battery and pack it separately;
Comply with lithium battery transportation standards (UN3480, etc.);
Clearly mark the battery capacity and transportation level.
If it is only a short trip, you can consider renting an electric scooter at your destination. Flywo Electric Scooter Mall is expanding overseas cooperation and will support local rental services in more cities in the future.
