How many calories does scootering burn?

We mean kick scootering here, the kind you power with your legs, not electric. Depending on how hard you ride and your weight, you might burn 350 to 700 calories in an hour. That’s about the same as running or biking. It’s real movement and burns way more than just standing on an electric scooter.

If you’re not just asking how many calories does scootering burn, but also thinking about how it can actually help you lose weight and feel better overall, we’ve got more for you. Our article “Fun Way to Lose Weight: Kick-Scooting” explains how kick scooting could help you drop 10–15 kg a year without gyms or routines that feel like a chore.
