Some time ago, we made a video about a newly emerging class of adventure scooters. We’ve had many fruitful discussions with our viewers in the comment section of that video, and have come to a consensus that this market segment is likely to grow in the upcoming years, since the consumer interest towards this type of two-wheelers is heating up.
Fast forward two years, it seems that manufacturers have taken a hint and started adding more and more offroad-capable scooters to their line-up. During this time, dozens of new models have been released and we want to tell you about all of them. This is the first volume of our mini-series dedicated to trail-ready scooters of 2023 and 2024 model years.
