Choosing an Electric Scooter

By Matthew Smith

Electric scooters come in all shapes and sizes. Today�s manufacturers have got the picture and are catering not only to the kids, but also to the older riders as well. With the vast difference in electric scooters, choosing the right one for your particular needs is paramount so that you don�t waste your money.

When choosing an electric scooter, you need to consider a few things first. Once you have taken into consideration these issues, you can make the right decision that best fits you.

Rider Weight: Electric scooters, though more powerful these days, will operate best while carrying the least amount of weight. The more weight that the scooter carries, the more the overall performance will diminish. Choose an electric scooter that can carry your weight plus an extra 50 lbs or more. For example; If the max weight capacity of the electric scooter in question is two-hundred and forty pounds and you weigh one-hundred and eighty pounds, then this is about perfect for your weight.

Average Distance: As goes with weight, the more weight the scooter carries, the less the max distance that the electric scooter will be able go. When choosing an electric scooter, look at the max distance rating. The max distance rating that is advertised is based on an average sized adult, usually one-hundred and thirty pounds, according to the manufacturer. Remember not to expect that max distance if you are a little heavier. Also, what they don�t tell you, that distance will be more determined on factors such as; riding conditions, hills, weather, and how much you use the throttle. A good rule of thumb is to take the max rated distance of say twenty-five miles per charge and realistically expect fifteen to twenty miles on a charge.

So determine which type of electric scooter you are going to purchase based on the average distance that you are going to be traveling between charges.

Actual Use: When looking at purchasing an electric scooter, think about what the scooter will be used for. Once you figure what the scooter will regularly be used for, you can decide which type is best for you. If you are going to be using it during pre-dawn or after dusk hours, then you want to consider getting one with a headlight. If you are going to be just cruising around town, the beach, the campground or your local college campus, then perhaps a two-in-one stand up type with an optional seat that folds down for easy storage would be a better bet. Whatever the type you choose, be sure to keep in mind safety.

As you can see, choosing the right electric scooter for you actually takes a little thought. Whatever you choose, remember the distance, weigh and use rules. Don�t get something that will not satisfy yourself as well as your needs.

Let's Look At More 250cc motor scooters



Try to buy a scooter performance kit (carb, air box, exhaust pipe) that is tuned for your scooter. It will make things much easier. Lastly, add the big bore kit. This will give you more torque (pulling power) and better acceleration. It won't necessarily add top speed unless you make gearing changes too. For larger scooters, there aren't too many performance parts available here in the U.S. The easiest thing is to do a web search for "scooter performance parts" and see what you can find.

Guide On How Mobility Scooters Work

By Jez Huntington

Guide on how mobility scooters work.

The mobility scooter in a way is like a motor bike or bicycle, there are handles to steer with, a place to sit and in general the mobility scooter will re-act like a bicycle.

The Tiller
The tiller is the main upright strut which is used to steer the mobility scooter like a motor bike. The tiller is adjustable moving towards or away from the seat for comfort so that the user can more easily steer the mobility scooter.

The Controls

The key
The main control of the mobility scooter is the key; this must be switched on before the scooter will operate at all. If when you switch on the mobility scooter it starts to beep, check that the scooter is not in free-wheel mode. If the scooter is, then put the mobility scooter into drive mode and turn on the machine again.

Accelerating/Reversing lever
If you look at the handles of the mobility scooter nearby you will see two teaspoon shaped paddles. These are the levers to make the mobility scooter go forward and backwards, sometimes these are called wig-wag paddles operating the levers with your thumbs will make the scooter go backwards and forwards. Note the mobility scooter will beep as you go backwards to warn others of your manoeuvre. (Each of the levers can operate the mobility scooter forwards and backwards, so if you only have the use of one hand this will present no problem).

Speed control
When you push the lever in just a little you move very slowly, push in more and you go faster. More importantly there is also a speed control dial which allows you to dictate the speed you wish to travel at and the paddles cannot make the scooter go any faster until you increase the speed on the speed controller. Pavement/Road Switch

On some of the larger models there is a switch which is to reduce the speed as you are only supposed to go at 4mph on the pavements and only switch over to the 6-8mph when on the road.

Brakes
You make a mobility scooter stop by doing nothing. As soon as you stop pressing the wigwag, the brakes automatically activate and bring the scooter to a gentle stop. This is called passive braking, and it works even if all the power to the electric scooter is cut off. It is the safest braking system possible and will stop the mobility scooter even on a steep hill. Some scooters will also come with an emergency brake (most class three scooters have this)

Freewheel lever
Each scooter will come with a freewheel lever to permit easy rolling of the scooter when there is no power; this helps if you wish to push the scooter into a corner or down a narrow passage. This is generally found at the back of the scooter and should be demonstrated by your scooter dealer.

The seat
Some people may find it more difficult to transfer to the mobility scooter than into a wheelchair, particularly if it has a fixed seat, but there are features which should be looked for: A 180� swivel seat so it can be turned for ease of transfer but make sure that you can swivel the chair back to the �driving position�.
That the tiller adjusts.
The scooter seat height is adjustable.
Arm rests that can be moved out of the way.

Lights and indicators
Lights are not essential but at night are a safety feature and a flashing light is necessary if you travel on the road, or a white light at the front and a red on the back.

Let's Talk 15mph motorized scooter

If you decide to do your scooter tuning in a garage, make sure it is neat and not cluttered up with papers and junk that can easily catch fire or trip you up as you're walking around. Again, you need to have it well-ventilated. Check the electrical outlets and circuits before you get to work to make sure they are not going to spark and set off a fire.
