SWAGTRON GlideX

What the SWAGTRON GlideX is built for

The SWAGTRON GlideX is an electric kick scooter for short trips and the last mile of a commute.

It has a 350 W peak motor and a top speed of 20 mph (32 km/h).

It carries a 230 Wh battery and a stated range of up to 16 miles (25 km) on a charge.

The SWAGTRON GlideX weighs 28 lb (12.9 kg), carries up to 220 lb (100 kg) including the rider and is rated IPX4 against water.

In the United States the SWAGTRON GlideX sells for $380, below the median of $530 across 163 electric scooters with a US price, among the more affordable models. That is $2 per watt-hour of battery.

Where the SWAGTRON GlideX may be ridden

Most European countries cap electric scooters at 20 to 25 km/h on public roads; the SWAGTRON GlideX's top speed of 20 mph (32 km/h) is above that, so it may be ridden at full speed only on private land there. In the United Kingdom privately owned e-scooters may not yet be ridden on public roads, and Germany requires a type-approved model with an insurance plate.

SWAGTRON GlideX safety certification

The brand states that the SWAGTRON GlideX is certified to UL 2272.

UL 2272 is the US safety standard for the electrical system of personal e-mobility devices such as electric scooters.

New York City allows only e-scooters certified to UL 2272 to be sold or rented there.
