Running errands and exploring becomes an exciting journey when you toss in the electric scooter as your mode of transportation. But what are the best sitting scooters on the market today?

 

Razor EcoSmart Metro Electric Scooter

This sitting scooter is the perfect example of style and comfort coming together in one package.

This model comes from the world-class scooter manufacturer Razor, which was the driving force behind the rise of the scooter in the early 2000s.

Now, they continue to set the standards for the entire scooter industry, and this is the perfect example of setting that standard.

The powerful scooter can reach speeds of 18 MPH because of a super-strong 500-Watt chain drive electric motor that powers the rear wheel.

The motor is highly efficient and can maintain full speed for 40 minutes on a single charge.

The rear-wheel-drive factor has better traction and handling than any other drive method and is the perfect design element for this great scooter.

The frame is tubular steel, and this scooter has 16-inch inflatable wheels for a sturdy but smooth ride.

For your comfort, this model features an extra-wide padded seat and bamboo floorboard that can easily handle a larger person’s rear end and larger feet.

As a final touch of class and for your convenience, this model also features a luggage rack with a detachable basket for carrying groceries, books, bags, and anything else you need to take on your next scooter trip.

Pros:

• A powerful rear-wheel chain-driven 500 Watt, highly efficient electric motor supplies enough energy and power to this scooter to reach 18 MPH and can take up to 12 miles.
• Super comfortable and extra-wide padded seat and bamboo floorboard easily fit even larger adult individuals.
• This model from superpower brand Razor Scooters features a luggage rack with a detachable basket for carrying any grocery bags, pieces of luggage, textbooks, or anything else you need to take on your next scooter journey.

Cons:

• Batteries have been reported to need replacing once every 6 to 9 months when used almost daily. You should buy the extended warranty to cover the new batteries each time, making the warranty worth every penny.

VIRO Rides Vega 2-in-1 Transforming Electric Scooter & Mini Bike

This model is an exceptionally interestingly designed piece of transportation equipment. This model is truly a one-of-a-kind design.

It looks like something from the Jetsons cartoon and will have you the center of attention as you cruise around your city in style.

The foldable design is wonderfully inventive, and you can go from a standup scooter to a sitting scooter in seconds.

 

The only issue is that it was made for smaller people like children. It is for ages 8 and up and can only handle a person up to 120 lbs. But, this means it makes the perfect training scooter for your kids to follow you on your scooter trips around town with a scooter of their own.

It will keep them engaged and interested because they can stop and switch to a seated or standing position whenever they feel like changing riding methods.

 

The 100-Watt chain drive motor can push this stylish piece of equipment up to speeds of 10 MPH with a range of approximately 6 miles.

With its height adjustment feature, you can change the scooter as your kid grows and continue to fit them despite some big growth spurts.

This folding electric scooter has solid rubber wheels that will never go flat and absorb some of the bumps from a rough road, so they won’t complain of a teeth-rattling ride experience like they might with some other scooter options.

 

Pros:

• Very stylish looking with a convertible design so you can go back and forth from a standing scooter to a sitting scooter.
• It is powered by two 12 Volt 7.5 Amp Li-ion battery packs that give it a range of about 6 miles on flat roads.
• Solid rubber wheels will never go flat no matter what your kid runs over, and it smooths out some of the bumpiness in the ride on a rough road.

Cons:

• It is only big enough for a child because it has a maximum weight limit of only 120 lbs. But this makes it the perfect training scooter for kids.
• Somewhat noisy when at full acceleration. But this helps keep track of your kids on a ride-along, and you will have less chance of running into one another as you cruise around town together.

Razor E200S Seated Electric Scooter

Another great model from Razor Scooters’ powerful brand name, the E200S, is a top-notch sitting scooter.

It has a removable seat post with a padded seat on top for comfortable riding from a seated position whenever you don’t feel like taking a stand-up ride.

It is powered by a 200 Watt rear wheel fully enclosed chain drive power system that pushes this speedy scooter up to 12 MPH with a range of about 7 miles or 40 minutes of continuous use at full throttle.

This model scooter was made for teenagers and can handle a person up to 154 lbs.

They can do this just fine without causing significant issues other than the battery dying a little sooner than it would with their child.

With a simple twist of the hand-controlled throttle, you fully engage the ultra-quiet high-torque and highly efficient electric motor and are on your way zipping around the neighborhood.

 

Your kid can get themselves anywhere in the neighborhood easily with this simple use of a stand-up scooter or add the removable seat and kick back for a relaxing trip to or from school.

 

Pros:

• A convertible scooter from big-time brand name manufacturer Razor Scooters with a removable seat post topped with a padded/cushioned seat.
• Ultra-quiet and highly efficient 200 Watt electric motor powers the rear wheel through a fully enclosed safety drive system to protect the rider and the motor from experiencing any harm while riding on less than ideal road conditions.
• Comes with a light package with a headlight and red taillight for safely riding in low light conditions and can see where you’re going, but others can see you coming just as well.

Cons:

• Only has one speed, and that is full bore, full power. Not a variable speed system, which can be tricky to ride around safely and takes some practice.

Hiboy S2 Electric Scooter with Seat

Another well-known brand name amongst scooter manufacturers is HIboy, which hit a home run with their S2 model scooter with a seat for comfortable cruising anywhere you feel like going.

This scooter has a 270 Wh battery pack that powers an ultra-quiet and super-efficient 350 Watt electric brushless hub motor that can get you cruising at speeds of up to 18 MPH.

This model can take up to approximately 17 miles on a single charge with a large battery capacity. The regenerative braking system only increases this capacity and possible distance traveled.

 

The battery features this incredible component that recharges on the go using kinetic energy transfer and braking regeneration for charging while in use.

This on-the-go rechargeability extends the range, especially for those speed demons who want to go full speed everywhere and have to slow down for each stop sign and stoplight.

Every time you brake, you recharge the motor, and the harder you brake, the more it charges the batter up.

 

This electric scooter also has the Hiboy S2 App for controlling your phone’s speed settings and cruise control. Plus, you can lock the wheels with the simple tap of a button on your phone to prevent others from riding off on your favorite scooter.

It has a wide footing area for those with bigger feet, plus a removable seat post with a super soft cushion padded seat for you to ride comfortably in style on this beautiful electric scooter model. All its high-tech features increase its attractiveness to many consumers.

 

Pros:

• Super-strong and highly-efficient whisper-quiet 350 Watt brushless hub motor is powered by a 270 MAh battery back with regenerative braking and accelerating feature that charges the battery using the physics of the scooter.
• The Hiboy S2 app allows for easy control of everything from the speed mode and cruise control to locking the wheels in place when not in use to prevent unauthorized riders from taking off the scooter without your permission.
• The removable seat post features a super-soft cushioned padded seat for easy conversion from a standing scooter to a sitting scooter whenever your mood changes.

Cons:

• Because of the high capacity of the battery, it can take a lengthy amount of time to recharge fully when you run it completely dead. But you do not have to charge to continue using it entirely. Every little you charge adds a few more meters to your travel distance.

48V500W Two Wheels Electric Scooter for Adults Foldable with Removable Seat by JUE SHUAI

This super powerful sitting scooter is loaded with a gigantic lithium battery with a whopping 48 Volts and 26 Amp that blows the competition away.

It is not even a fair competition to compare other power packs to this battery’s capabilities because it can reach a full charge in under 5 hours, but it can also go up to a stunning 62 miles on a single charge.

That is a crazy amount of distance and is easily 5 times as far as its competitors can travel and half the charging time to reach that capacity.

 

This super batter back powers a 500-Watt brushless electric hub motor that is more powerful than most of the competition because they mostly topped out at 350-Watt electric motors.

Because of these adjustments, you can comfortably travel anywhere after changing the scooter to fit your body size.

Cons:

• This model is heavier than its counterparts with the larger motor and extra battery capacity plus a heavy-duty, durable aluminum alloy tubular frame. All those extra goodies each add a little weight to the unit.

Sengei Electric Scooters Adult Foldable with Seat

This foldable model scooter is very reasonably priced. It is powered by a 24 Volt battery that charges up a 120-Watt motor that is economical and efficient.

This model was made for smaller individuals like teenagers and small women.

The maximum rider weight for this scooter is 150 lbs, so it was not made for the average-sized adult to ride. But, since its top speed is only 7.5 MPH, it is the perfect training scooter for any preteen or teenager to learn the ropes of scootering before moving on to a more powerful adult model.

Shopping Guide For Picking Out The Perfect Scooter With A Seat

When you go shopping for your next scooter and want one with a seat for the most comfortable and easy-going ride possible, there are a few things you may want to keep in mind or consider before making a purchase.

The first question is, what size person will be riding the scooter?

If you are buying for a young child or preteen who has never ridden an electric scooter, you may consider one of the small and less powerful options.

For example, you would want a training-level scooter that only goes a maximum of 7 or 8 MPH, so your child is never going fast enough to cause any damage to themselves, others, or property.

There is more to riding a scooter than just hopping on and going to town, at least for a first-time rider, and easing them into it softly is a great idea. Plus, you will want one with adjustments to change the sizes as your kid ages and grows.

However, if you buy a scooter for yourself, you probably want a different set of features.

There are models out there that go as fast as 25 MPH or more on flat ground, much faster going downhill, and these may be more enticing if you are buying a scooter for yourself.

But what other features are necessary or even possible to get an all-in-one scooter? You can get a scooter with a huge battery pack that can run for hours on a single charge and takes you dozens of miles before needing to be plugged in.

This scooter could be a perfect feature to consider if you plan on using your scooter to commute to work or school a few days a week when the weather is nice enough.

 

Another great option to consider is speed modes and cruise control.

If you plan to go on long rides through your city regularly, you may want to get a model with adjustable cruise control so you do not have to constantly hold down or twist the throttle to maintain a suitable speed.

Plenty of models offer this, plus adjustable speed modes that can help save battery by limiting speed or help you get up a hill by putting you in a lower gear.

 

These are great features and are things to consider when you want to purchase your next sitting scooter. Whatever you decide is important, there is a model that fits your needs.

We explored various variations of scooters that all have seats on our list, but that is the only thing they all have in common other than being electric-powered. They each have individual packages of features that perfectly fit a different situation.

If you plan and think about how the scooter will be used the most, you can get an image in your mind of what features may be necessary to you and then look through our list, and you will find a scooter that fits those needs.

The perfect scooter probably has many other handy and nifty features you never even thought about, but that will be super helpful when using the scooter.

 

So, think ahead, do a little bit of planning, picture how you will be using the scooter, and then check out our list for the perfect sitting scooter.

Once you find it, you will be amazed at what it can do for you and will have an exciting time using it regularly.

You will fall in love with your scooter in no time and will think back and wonder how you have ever survived without it before.

So, get out there and explore your neighborhood, town, and city. See the sights and experience all the culture around you as you cruise along on your sitting scooter.
