Scooters that cater to riders over 300 lbs can sometimes come with an eye-watering price tag, which is why commuter superstar, the Emove Touring, is a breath of fresh air. This scooter is a great all-rounder and is perfectly designed for an urban environment. All in all, though, this scooter is remarkably well-made and it’s also good to see that spare parts are readily available from Decathlon. Buying a scooter for adults over 100 Kg NZ is not easy. So to make your hunt easy, here are some of the features that you should never miss out on while buying a scooter. Portability Thanks to the decent motor power behind it, the Pro claims to be able to conquer 15-degree slopes, however, this is likely to be slightly lower the closer you are to the upper threshold of the scooter’s load limit. And trust me, you’ll need a scooter with this kind of build quality when you lay into the throttle and push the scooter up to its maximum speed of 55 mph. Yes, you read that right – this is without a doubt the fastest scooter I’ve ever reviewed.

Whilst the nominal power rating of the motor is a modest 600W, it actually has a maximum output of 1600W meaning acceleration and up-hill stints are not problem at all. The latest version also has a IP67 rating, which means it can be ridden in very wet or rainy conditions without any risk of damaging electronic components. The Cruiser also has some excellent touches like side indicator lights, which is a massive bonus for any urban riding, particularly at night. Entry-level models will more often than not rely only on one of these two (commonly just pneumatic tires) which means the ride won't be as smooth as with high-quality models. A high-tier electric scooter for heavy adults should utilize the benefits of both air-filled tires and spring suspension at the front and rear for the optimal riding experience. Just like with US states, different European countries have different e-scooter laws. While many European countries initially banned them, most countries have now softened their stance. They are now legal to ride in most European tourist hubs including France, Portugal, Germany and the Netherlands, but each of these countries has different laws regarding the use of helmets, maximum speed limit and so on. Is there anything else I should know? How fast and far do you want to go, and how often?Here we try to answer some common questions about buying electric scooters for heavy adults as well as providing some guidance on specifications for your weight. Is there a weight limit for electric scooters? It’s wheels are notably smaller than the other scooters in the list, at just 8 inches. Normally this would reduces ride quality compared to larger wheels, but this is more than compensated by exceptional triple front suspension, which enables the Touring to absorb pot holes and with ease. The rear wheel is solid which does impact ride quality over rough or cobbled surfaces. But a solid rear wheel is a clever compromise to avoid punctures with limited impact on ride quality. Most punctures occur in the rear wheel, yet the rear wheel has less impact on ride than the front, so making the rear solid is a clever move. If you are someone looking for a scooter that is suitable for all kinds of pavements, then this kids/adults scooter by Fast 88 is the best. As it is equipped with 200mm wheels, it is perfect for people who like to go to the park. Whether you scoot on a pebble, asphalt, square, or grass surface, it is suitable for all.

The only real downside to this scooter is its slightly higher price tag and marginally higher weight. At 23 kg you won’t want to carry this far. But its folding compaction is very good, meaning it should fit in the boot of most cars and requires very little storage space. The brakes are an essential safety feature of electric scooters. When choosing an electric scooter for heavy adults, it is crucial to choose one with reliable brakes that can safely stop the scooter when needed. Two brakes are used in electric scooters: mechanical disc brakes and hydraulic brakes. In addition, most e-scooters have an electronic brake feature, which uses the motor to slow the scooter down. Well-adjusted mechanical brakes are okay, but I recommend hydraulic brakes for optimal performance. Suspension The E-move Cruiser is a much loved heavy duty electric scooter, popular on enthusiast forums. It’s popularity is partly due to the great product support from its manufacturer Voromotors. If you were wondering which electric scooter holds the most weight, it’s the Emove Cruiser, carrying up to 160 kgs or over 350lbs.
