My Husband and I purchased 2 Segway Ninebot Max G30Ps e-scooters from Amazon Canada this summer and it was such a great investment because we got to see so much of the city with them. We also have Prime so we also got them shipped for free! Someone over at Amazon even called to make sure it was us who ordered them too. It was very nice of them because it's not often that we make big purchases like that because each scooter was like a grand each.
Prior to that we rented the basic Ninebot from Segway on Queens Quay from a place called Zoom. We rented them for 7 hours for $75 each and I think tax was on top. We took them on the trails in East York to Scarborough, back to the waterfront and all the way to Ontario Place! We couldn't believe the range!! We instantly loved them and decided to purchase them to explore Toronto and the GTA with. The only thing is you can't leave them unattended. Other than that it's really great!
I also use protective gear like a helmet and wrist, knee and elbow
protectors. I got an official Segway helmet from Bestbuy for around $30
plus tax and the rest I got from Walmart for around $15 plus tax. I strongly recommend wearing protective gear because when your riding on the road with cars in a bike lane or at the side of the road when there are no bike lanes you are really exposed. Always check your blind spots too and don't move your arms and hands when you do.

We took our e-scooters to High Park via Bloor Street and back via Lakeshore.
