I didn’t expect an electric scooter to change my routine as much as it has, but the BOE C200 Plus did.
When I first unboxed it, I noticed how simple and solid it felt. It’s not a toy – it’s a practical vehicle. At 23 kg, it’s solid enough to handle rough city roads but still light enough to fold and carry when I need to.
The first real test was on my usual commute. I live about 10 km from my office and usually take a mix of buses and walking. That morning, I decided to take the scooter all the way. The 700W motor gave me enough speed to keep up with traffic without feeling unsafe. It’s capped at 25 km/h, which turned out to be perfect for weaving through the city without worrying about overdoing it.
The 48V 15Ah battery lasted the entire day – I used it for commuting to work, grabbing lunch across town, and even stopping by the grocery store after work. By the time I got home, there was still battery left. Charging overnight was simple, and it was ready the next morning without me thinking about it.
Comfort surprised me the most. One day I took a shortcut through an old cobblestone street. Normally that would rattle me on a bike, but the scooter’s front and rear suspension soaked up most of the bumps. The hydraulic brakes came in handy too – a pedestrian stepped out unexpectedly, and I stopped quickly and safely.
Folding it up and storing it has been a relief. In my small apartment, it fits neatly in the hallway. I even tried taking it on the train once, and the folded size (120 × 30 × 46 cm) made it easy to carry and store out of the way.
I bought it while it was on sale for €799.99 (down from €1,099.99), and considering the daily time it saves me, it’s been worth every cent. It arrived within a week, and from the first ride, it’s been part of my daily life.
If you’re thinking about an electric scooter for commuting, this one has been reliable, practical, and far better than I expected.
