Longest estimated range under $800

Under $800 the battery is the whole conversation, and the range printed on the box is measured at a speed nobody commutes at. These are ordered by the estimate instead: watt-hours divided by the consumption a scooter of that type actually draws. Where a third-party test exists we show that too, so you can see how the estimate held up.
