These scooters can be either folding as above, or come apart into sections that are lightweight and easy to transport. Scooters that break down into sections generally have larger seats and larger batteries, given them a longer driving range and increased comfort. Benefits toucan was born, if not came screaming into this world at the height of social-distancing in 2020.

Their folding design makes them easier to transport and store. Made from lightweight materials they are ideal for car journeys or taking on holiday both in the UK or abroad. We've always had such a strong creative energy and vision for toucan. We’ve always imagined this surreal fantasy that toucan could take pleasure in creating for you. It won’t be just a mode of transportation that is equipped with an arsenal amount of fun, but an experience of detachment from everything else, a bit of escapism. So far so game changing. However, I do have some gripes.

Electric scooters are a lot heavier – I found them cumbersome on the commute – and there's currently more restrictions on where you can use them. On that point, I've included a FAQ section at the bottom of this article that covers the legality of scooters, which is surprisingly not straightforward. For now, suffice to say that manual scooters are basically fine anywhere; and electric scooters are now.
