An electric scooter comprising:
- a footboard;
- at least one driving wheel that is coupled to the footboard, is arranged in a front or rear position;
- at least one driven wheel that is coupled to the footboard and is arranged in a rear or front position;
- a handlebar operatively coupled to the footboard to turn a front wheel;
- an electric motor that is suitable for turning the driving wheel;
- and
- a gearbox with two or more gear ratios that is interposed between the electric motor and the driving wheel to receive motion from the electric motor and transmit motion to the driving wheel.

- at least one driven wheel that is coupled to the footboard and is arranged in a rear or front position;
- a handlebar operatively coupled to the footboard to turn a front wheel;
- an electric motor that is suitable for turning the driving wheel;
- and
- a gearbox with two or more gear ratios that is interposed between the electric motor and the driving wheel to receive motion from the electric motor and transmit motion to the driving wheel;
- wherein the electric motor is arranged at a longitudinal distance, i.e. parallel to a direction of motion of the electric scooter when in use, different from zero from the driving wheel so that the electric motor is not coaxial with the driving wheel;
- and
- wherein a flexible transmission member closed in a loop is provided, which transmits motion from the electric motor to the driving wheel.
