About Jetson
Jetson is a small electric vehicle company based out of Brooklyn, New York. Founded in 2012, Jetson has been developing their wide range of ebikes, e scooters, hoverboards, and gokarts for over a decade. One of the key factors that makes Jetson special is their commitment to affordability, offering dozens of quality vehicles at the sub-thousand dollar price tag, and even some products lower than $500. Jetson also has one of the most robust retailer networks in the industry; their products are available in Walmart, Costco, Target to name a few. Lastly, Jetson offers a one year warranty for all of their vehicles to ensure a quality experience for all of their customers.
Why Buy Jetson?
Rather than specializing in just a few products, Jetson has developed an extensive line of different electric vehicles of different styles, so they have something to offer for just about everyone. One category they’ve really nailed is the compact folding ebike, which is a good option for someone who’s limited on storage space. Jetson’s commuter bikes are a great fit for a larger adult rider who needs a bit bigger frame for a comfortable ride. For those not looking for a bike, Jetson also has plenty of electric scooters to select from, including a seated scooter option for greater accessibility. Finally, we can’t forget about the kids - they offer an extensive selection of mini bikes, scooters, and other rideables (AND a Disney-themed collection). If you have to pick one company to deck out the entire family, you can’t go wrong with Jetson.
Jetson simply has too many high value products for us to get into each one individually. Instead, we’ll highlight some of our favorite vehicles from the Brooklyn-based producer so you can get an idea of what they have to offer…
