Storm Rides Electric Scooters, at 29C Taylors Road in Morningside, Auckland, is a New Zealand owned electric scooter shop with a showroom and workshop. The website says it has sold e-scooters for 10 years, imports them directly, and offers a three-year warranty on select brands, finance, price matching and test rides. It is open six days a week, and says its staff give expert advice. The range covers scooters for all ages, from light boot scooters to commuting and high-powered models. There are also parts, accessories and helmets from many brands, and the website says its e-scooters are safety certified and approved for New Zealand.
The website says customers can buy from local stock or pre-order, and that pre-order prices can rise as arrival nears. We hear stock is flowing back into the warehouse, and that top models may sell out before summer. Sales enquiries are taken on 0800 448 366, and a web chat is available for a custom consult. Our pick in Morningside for a first electric scooter with test rides.
