With more and more cars joining our roads each year, congestion in our cities is only getting worse, and more and more people are looking for alternative forms of transport.
If a bus service isn't convenient, and the train isn't anywhere near your commute, an electric scooter might be your best bet. But is it faster than a traditional four-wheeled alternative?

While the scooter might seem like an easy winner, the results of the video might actually surprise you, watch it above!
