![]() ![]() A warranty of at least one year and US-based support: You need to know that if something goes wrong with your scooter, the manufacturer has dealers or representatives who can address your problem quickly and with minimal expense.We did consider a few scooters that claimed to be able to carry more weight-some up to 275 pounds-but unfortunately they had dealbreaking flaws (not being UL-certified, for instance). If you weigh 215 pounds or less, a scooter’s total carrying capacity of 220 pounds leaves a little wiggle room for toting a full backpack or bag on your ride. A carrying capacity of at least 220 pounds: The average American woman weighs 170.8 pounds, while the average American man weighs 199.8 pounds, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.It’s a trade-off between range and weight, but we preferred scooters that balanced the two while offering more distance. An advertised range of at least 15 miles: Knowing that the advertised range figures represent frankly unrealistic optimal riding conditions, and that most riders won’t see a range nearly as high, we wanted to be sure our recommended scooters could go 4 or 5 miles in either direction of a round-trip ride without having to be recharged.Also, buying a scooter is easier if you can order it from a reputable reseller-or the company itself-without having to jump through hoops or import it. Although lesser-known companies may make good products, we don’t think it’s worth risking your safety on what might be a fly-by-night operation. ![]()
