Electric Avenue Scooters located in Austin, Texas, is your portal to the future of urban transportation.

Free yourself from your dependence on cars and trucks and adopt the easier, more carefree commuting option that Europeans have enjoyed for years: the scooter. 

Electric Avenue's emissions-free, ultra-quiet, super-efficient electric scooters are the new and trendy way to get around town and available - now!  (Warning:  These impressive scooters are actually ready for adoption now, and not prototypes for the distant future, as many much-marketed concepts are).  Engineered in Germany and manufactured in Poland, our Govecs scooter combines European craftmanship and quality with a price you can actually afford. Add to that our affordable training courses that give you the knowledge and training you need to hit the road with confidence, and in one weekend, you can ditch your clunky, gas-sucking car and be zipping around town in style.

If you’ve ever driven in a city, you know what a pain owning a car can be.

You spend thousands of dollars every year on gas, parking, tune-ups, oil changes, insurance and a slew of other expenses — on top of actually purchasing the car. Then there is the time you waste sitting in traffic, getting gas and circling block after block looking for a parking spot. And let's not forget about the high cost having your own car has on the environment. By owning a car, you enter a pollution-creating, fossil fuel-reliant cycle that creates a harmful carbon footprint on the earth.

Now imagine transportation with none of the above. That’s Electric Avenue. 

At Electric Avenue, you get the best transportation you can get – without the extra costs. Our scooters are: 


Electric Avenue electric scooters and motorbikes have only a tenth of the operating and ownership costs of cars (including electric cars) and trucks. Imagine never having to buy gas for your vehicle ever again! 


Because scooters are small, finding parking is a cinch, so you can kiss your days of driving around in circles searching for a parking space goodbye! And, they plug into a regular 120V outlet, not heavy car-charging equipment or infrastructure that is often still yet-to-be installed.


Possibly  the best part is that our scooters are virtually pollution-free. Even at the end of our scooters’ lives, all parts can be recycled to produce something just as great.



The Govecs scooter used to only be available in Europe, where it is currently the leading electric scooter on the market. Now, Electric Avenue is excited and proud to be bringing it to America for you.

The Govecs is engineered in Germany and caringly manufactured in Poland, so its quality is far superior to the cheap, made-in-China scooters that make up much of the available products you can purchase today. 

Its three model options are perfect for urban commuters. They offer 2 passenger seats, 2-year parts+labor warranties, and self-managing lithium batteries that can last longer than a decade before need for replacement. They can travel up to 60 miles on one charge, and even has an on-board outlet for powering anything from descrete hand-held devices to heavy-duty electrically heated jackets (a nice Govecs standard feature for winter riding). And at just $5250 - $6646 (with no need for gas, or heavy car-charging infrastructure - just a regular 120V receptacle suffices!), the Govecs scooters are tens of thousands of dollars cheaper than large 4-wheel vehicles. Your gas, repair, and insurance savings alone can pay you back your Govecs scooter purchase within about 12-18 months! (You will be given some options to customize the appearance of your Govecs, and so it may (or may not) look exactly as depicted here.)  For more info on the Govecs scooters, visit our site: http://www.electricavenuescooters.com/govecs/

New this year, Electric Avenue's Scooter School of Austin is the go-to resource for making sure you have all the skills to enjoy two-wheeling to the fullest on the roads. 

Many potential scooter owners are weary of purchasing scooters or motor bikes because they are uncertain about their safety and operation. At our Scooter School, a Motorcycle Safety Foundation-certified Rider Coach will teach you the classroom knowledge and real-world skills necessary for maximum safety and enjoyment of your new scooter. Our Basic Rider Course is required by the state of Texas to get your Motorcycle license and is available at just $200 per person.

In just a few hours, you can be on your way to adopting the most efficient and cost-effective mode of transportation available.

Electric Avenue has been in business for the last 5 years, pioneering the best transportation alternatives to fossil fuel-burning cars and trucks. So far, we have created a reputation for ourselves that introduces our products as the highest quality scooters available in the area. Below are some of our past, current and future areas of success:

Our new Scooter School has produced more than 30 graduates in the last 2 months, with more signing up and graduating every week.

Our feature product, the Govecs scooter, has won Europe’s E-Scooter of the Year award the past 3 years in a row (2011-2013).

As an initial market test, we have sold more than 25 Govecs scooters to U.S. customers over the past year.

While our only location thus far is in Austin, Texas, we have plans to expand nationally and open more stores across the U.S. as we grow, spotlighting scooter benefits and starting a scooter craze across the nation.

Currently, we offer new Govecs buyers one free electric plug installation (up to $150 value) at their residence or workplace so that you can keep your scooter charged at all times.

Starting with this Fundable campaign, we plan to have an innovative scooter financing system that will allow micro-investors to crowdfund other people’s Govecs scooter purchases to help the world go greener. As a result, the scootering individual will get their scooter while the micro-investors get a substantial return on their Electric Avenue investment bonds and we can all take a cleaner breath of air.

In 2008, main co-founder of Electric Avenue, Mark Sze-To bought an electric scooter from Mark Witt, another co-founder of Electric Avenue. The initial ownership experience for Mark S. was extremely beneficial and rewarding considering the inherent cost and environmental values of electric scootering.



After just 2 months, however, the experience became a bit of a nightmare due to the poor quality of the early Chinese-made product. Mark S. and Mark W. decided not to let this bad quality product sour their friendship.

Together, they started Electric Avenue Scooters in 2009 to provide the best quality electric scooters on the U.S. market. In doing so, they have created award winning electric vehicles that offer all the incredible virtues and benefits of electric scootering with none of the difficulties caused by poor quality.

Mark is Electric Avenue’s managing director and majority co-owner. He acts as a lead in most all departments including technology, marketing and management.

Mark is a major partner/investor in Electric Avenue. As an electric vehicle connoisseur, Mark sees the promising potential of our company and product. He also serves as a market researcher.

Audrey is a managing partner, assisting in logistics, public relations and legal.

Mimi is an investor and board-level advisor.

Haran is an investor and board-level advisor.

Richard is an investor and board-level advisor.

In order to successfully finance our upcoming marketing, insurance, legal and inventory costs, and to begin the first steps of our expansion and micro-fund lending project, we need your help. Our company revenue has been increasing over the past 5 years, but we need an extra push in order to enter the market running on all cylinders. With your help, we hope to raise $10,000 over the next two months.
