SHOP NOW Considerations when buying an electric scooters for a heavy rider We have focused on the maximum rider weight that each scooter can handle however there are still other factors to consider. It’s important to also look at the maximum speed and motor power quoted by the manufacturer when choosing an electric scooter for heavy adults. This is because speed and motor power often go hand in hand. The higher the motor power and the top speed, the more easily the scooter will be able to get a heavy person up a steep incline. If you're close to the maximum weight a scooter advertises, you probably won't get as much speed and acceleration as the manufacturer states so keep that in mind when considering your options. Battery Considerations A similar logic also applies to the battery size of an e-scooter. If the rider is close to the maximum recommended weight for the scooter, the battery life will also likely be affected. When buying for a heavy adult, having a larger battery size will pay off in terms of range and save you from running out of juice while you’re out and about.
