Don't forget that they are virtually all illegal to use, except on private property.
Plus if you have a Spanish driving licence offences committed on one can cost you points!

There are several makes of e Scooters that are legal to use on the roads here in Spain.Here is a link to the N322 site (run by Volunteers from the Guardia Civil) to advise foreigners of rules relating to road use.
Please be aware though that the Law only permits a maximum speed of 25kph and any Scooter that is faster is illegal. I don't know any specialist shops, but I know they are for sale in Torrevieja Carrefour and Al Campo, Decathlon as well as MediaMarkt down at La Zenia.
I also read a few months ago that the scooter has to have a Decalaración de Conformidad de la CE and it's best to carry a copy of that when riding. I got mine printed from the website of the manufacturer.
I've had my Xiaomi 1S for about 1½ years now and I've no complaints. It's been fantastic for going into town where I live on the outskirts of a Torrevieja as many will know the parking is atrocious and I'm doing my little bit for the Eco😊. I've covered so far 1,750 Kms - yes way over one thousand miles and despite the previous post I'm one of the many legal scoots that are out and about 👍🏼👍🏼
Just for further info, there are individual local bylaws so watch out for that. For example in Benidorm Helmets and 3rd party insurance are compulsory. Safe scootering and enjoy the freedom, versatility and eco friendliness they offer.
