The electric scooter trend is the newest craze to hit the streets in cities and towns across America. These incredible inventions are super compact and powerful at the same time.

They allow people to cover many blocks or miles across a downtown corridor or from one neighborhood to another easily and fast.

 

Plus, using an electric scooter lets you save energy for walking around in the part of town you want to be in, instead of using it all up walking to your destination and being drained when you finally arrive.

Also, they allow folks to zip around the streets with little worry of traffic because you can pass right around and through cars stuck in traffic. Plus, one of these killer inventions does not pay for parking.

 

So, what about those adults who are a little bit husky or are just larger than the average person and need extra sturdy transportation that fits them? There are plenty of great options in electric scooters, even for heavier adults to ride around and enjoy.

The freedom these excellent devices provide is unrivaled, and the trend is catching on with more people getting in on the crazy by getting a scooter of their own.

If you are a larger person or know someone who is a large person and you want a scooter to ride around your city, check out these fantastic electric scooters that would be perfect for your riding enjoyment.

1) Hover-1 Aviator Electric Folding Scooter

This top-of-the-line scooter was made with a 300 Watt brushless electric motor with a long lifespan and will stand up to plenty of use and abuse.

It can reach speeds of nearly 15 MPH even with a body that weights up to 265 lbs, meaning that even larger than average adults can cruise at a respectable speed from one venue to the next as they spend a weeknight or weekend on the go.

This scooter has a built-in suspension that allows for smooth riding across bumpy city streets, so you will not feel every little crack and bump in the road as you glide across them.

Another great built-in feature is the extra-bright LED headlights and rear reflectors so others can see you after the sun goes down.

The rechargeable 24 Volt battery allows you to cover up to 7 miles on one single charge, meaning you can go to your favorite neighborhood hang and get back home without plugging this scooter in.

Overall, this scooter was built to handle the stress and strain a bigger person may put on their device in day-to-day use, and it will last an extended amount of time. With this electric scooter made for bigger people, you get more than you pay for.

 

Pros:

• A super-powerful 300 Watt motor coupled with an equally powerful 24 Volt battery creates a union that equals power and speed for the rider.
• Built-in suspension allows a wonderfully and comfortably smooth ride across worn-out city streets.
• Has a headlight system that will light your way at night and reflectors so others can spot you from a long way away, allowing you to safely ride in low light conditions or on non-lit-up side streets and alleyways.

Cons:

• Some riders report issues of brakes overheating and locking in place temporarily, but this was only reported to happen after extended steep downhill stretches, and the problem resolves itself in just a couple of minutes when the brakes cool off again. When you think about it, the scooter should stop completely when the brakes stop working rather than not. This problem was infrequent and happened in the same city sections where any car or vehicle would have similar issues with overheating brakes.

2) JOYOR X5S Electric Scooter

A standout scooter that blows the competition away, the JOYOR X5S sets the standards for the upper echelon of this budding industry.

This model can take you a whopping 31 miles on a single charge, putting the whole city at your disposal. It has even been made over 40 miles on a single charge under perfect conditions.

The battery is a solid 500 Watts and features a quick-charge component, so you will not need to plug it in for long periods to reach a full charge, even after a long day of cruising around town.

Then, this electric scooter can go a speedy 15.5 MPH even with an adult who weighs up to 265 lbs. Also, it has a superb suspension that glides smoothly across bumpy not so well maintained city streets and speed bumps.

This scooter’s unique feature on its LCD pilots display is a cruise control option that will control your speed too fast however you set it to. Couple that with its anti-lock brakes, and you get a safe operating electric scooter to ride in any situation.

Take it to work, run to the store to pick up a backpack full of items, or go out to eat for lunch and dinner on this top-notch scooter, and trust that it will get you there safely with a comfortably smooth ride.

 

Pros:

• A strong Li-ion battery is 500 Watts and will take you on trips of up to 15 miles each way on a single charge.
• Smooth riding scooter with a state-of-the-art built-in suspension over large, 10-inch wheels.
• A smart scooter with technology allows you to activate and set cruise control through the displayed user interface.

Cons:

• Manufactured by a Chinese company. So, if you have an issue and need to get something fixed—while it is still within its 2-year warranty—you have to pay to ship the scooter to the company for repairs and replacement parts or even an entirely new unit. Not very cost-effective. But built to such high standards that incidents of returns for replacements or repairs are infrequent, and few people have to use their warranty.

3) Gyroor Electric Scooter for Adults

Propelled by a sturdy 380 Watt highly efficient electric motor that can take you on trips of up to 20 square miles, even on up to a 20% incline.

It was built using aircraft aluminum and magnesium, so it is ultra-lightweight and easy to carry around after folding it up.

The powerful motor propels you at a speed of 18 MPH and has 3 different driving modes. Those modes are Eco-mode, Standard-mode, and the always fun Power-mode.

These modes affect the max acceleration of the scooter and how much battery life you can eat up when traveling around town. Use Eco-mode when sightseeing and checking things out or searching for something.

Then use Power-mode whenever you want some extra pep in the speed department but be careful and hold on when you choose to go full-bore.

At least it has a super-efficient e-ABS DISC brake system to slow you down. These brakes can bring you to a stop at full speed in distances as short as 4 meters.

That is an extraordinary claim to fame for this particular model scooter.

 

Pros:

• A powerful electric motor that has 3 driving modes; Eco, Standard, and Power. Plus, it has cruise control in all 3 modes. They mainly affect the acceleration abilities of the scooter.
• Excellent ABS DISC brakes can slow you down from full speed in as little as 4 meters.
• Powerful headlight and reflectors. The headlight beam travels approximately 20 meters to see any obstacles that may appear in front of you during a night ride.

Cons:

• Pneumatic tires have valves that can be difficult to get the pump valve on to manage air pressure in tires.

4) Hurtle HURES 18-M5 Electric Scooter for Adults & Kids

With a maximum range of 12-18 miles, you can get out there and see your city or town from the unique perspective of cruising around on an electric scooter.

The motor has 3 gears for tackling different terrain and situations. Plus, it can handle inclines up to 15 degrees even with a full-grown adult on board, and the 3 gears top out at 9.3 MPH in low, 15.5 MPH in standard equipment, and then the top speed of 19.2 MPH in its power mode.

The display screen shows everything from the remaining battery life and digital speed readout to cruise control settings, allowing you to control everything easily and without mistakes.

Also, this particular model has an app you can download that can mirror the controlled display on your phone, so you can control your kid’s scooter from your phone and see all their settings as you cruise around town side by side.

This electric scooter was built to handle large adults up to the standard for heavy adult scooters of 265 lbs. Plus, it has an E-brake in front and a Disc brake in the rear, so you will always be able to stop in time, even from top speeds.

The lights system is incredible and features a super-strong LED headlight paired with the unique feature of tail lights with brake light illumination.

These last features make the unit one of the safest scooters out of adult electric scooters.

Pros:

• A powerful 300 Watt brushless electric motor has 3 gears and 3 different power modes. These modes affect how much acceleration it has and how much battery life you can eat up.
• The super-bright headlight coupled with the lit-up taillights has a 2 stage illumination for brake light, just like your car or truck. These, plus the E-brake in front and Disc brake in the back, make this scooter one of the safest models.
• The display interface allows you to control power modes, cruise control, light activation, and more right at your fingertips because it is mounted in the center of the handlebars. Plus, unique to this scooter, you can download an app to control all those settings from your phone to control a child riding along with you and change their settings on the fly.

Cons:

• Reports from some consumers say that the suspension system could use some improvement. While it is smooth enough to ride, you can bottom out and feel the rattle if you catch a bigger bump or crack in the road. But this only happens in the most extreme conditions.

 

 

5) ESKUTE Electric Scooter

A great scooter with enough pep to tackle nearly any situation or terrain. Features an incredible 36 Volt 350 Watt electric hub motor that can get you up to speeds of 16 MPH and handle a steep incline of approximately 15 degrees.

Plus, these scooter has run-flat non-pneumatic foam-filled tires that will never go flat on you and allow you to travel much smoother along your journey.

Also, this model has a super-powerful 270 Wh rechargeable lithium-ion battery with a proprietary Smart Battery Management System that controls the discharge and recharge of the battery and ensures it will have a long life span.

It ranges 16 miles and can recharge back to full power from completely dead in under 5 hours. So, you can go a long way from home, say 10-12 miles, for example, and plug it in a while hanging out.

Then you will be confident it will have recharged enough to make it back home. Also, this battery management system ensures over 5,000 recharges for the battery’s lifespan.

The LED display screen allows you to control the power mode, cruise control, see your speed, turn the headlight on or off, etc.

It is also an updateable system with easy to plug in and install new firmware whenever a new update comes out for even better control over the scooter.

Finally, it has Anti-Lock brakes that will safely stop you from a short distance, even from going at its top speed.

Pros:

• Super powerful 350 Watt motor with 3 power modes controllable from the heads-up LED display screen mounted on the handlebars. Allows you to tackle any terrain, within reason, and even hills up to 15 degrees of incline.
• Has a state-of-the-art lithium-ion rechargeable battery that is a whopping 36 Volts. That makes it blow the other 24 Volt standard power supplies out of the water.
• Updateable firmware for the LED display screen allows you to control power mode, headlight, and cruise control.

Cons:

• The speedometer maxes out at 15 MPH. So, even if you are flying down a steep incline at speeds greater than 15 MPH, you will not get a correct reading or know precisely how fast you are traveling.

6) BEEYEO Electric X7 Scooters for Adults

This scooter is certified by the global safety organization UL LLC, which shows how safe of a ride this model has.

It features a 3-mode 350-Watt electric hub motor that is powerful and goes above and beyond the standard 250-Watt electric motors of other electric scooters in the same classification group.

It can travel up to 15.6 MPH in ideal conditions and has a range of approximately 12.5 miles on a full charge of its 270 Wh battery.

The battery is detachable and can recharge when off of the scooter.

So, when you go somewhere and want to plug the battery in when you get there for your return trip, you pop off the battery pack and carry just that in with you to a power source to plug in for recharging.

This scooter has smooth-riding 8.5-inch foam-filled non-pneumatic tires that are anti-slip and assist you in those tight corners or over rough roads. Then, they will never go flat from a puncture, tear, or hole.

You could run over multiple nails, have them all sticking in your tire, and keep cruising just fine.

Pros:

• Super-duper powerful 350 Watt 3 mode 2 gear electric motor gives you all the pep you need to cruise at what can feel like break-neck speeds or tackle steep inclines up to 15 degrees or more.
• The battery pack is probably the best feature because it is super powerful, long-lasting, and fast charging. But it is also detachable, meaning you do not need to carry the whole unit to recharge the 5800 MAh battery.
• Non-pneumatic foam-filled tires mean you will never experience a flat or underinflated tire, and they allow for a smooth ride over bumpy roads. Plus, they are a non-slip tread design for those tight corners on smooth cement surfaces, which keeps you safe even when showing off what the scooter can do.

Cons:

• Battery life can get eaten up rather quickly when zipping around in the sporty power mode, and speeding through the streets can only lower your range to about 8 miles.

7) Hiboy S2 Electric Scooter

This scooter model has an extended range of up to 17 miles, and you can cover that distance in about an hour because the top speed of this electric scooter is a speedy 18 MPH.

You will cover that ground comfortably because it has a special alloy spring shock-absorber built into the frame’s rear. This shock absorber is adjustable with a simple wrench turn to make it a stiffer, bumpy, or looser bouncy ride. It is up to you.

The battery features an 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.

Has a wide footing area for those with bigger feet and a reinforced rear fender in case you stand too far back or have the old habit of pressing down on the rear fender to brake—like we used to do with the old Razor scooters when we were kids.

Pros:

• An extended range battery life of 17 miles, and you can cover that fast because of the speedy 18 MPH top speed.
• The battery is designed to recharge as you are using the unit. When you brake, kinetic energy is converted into electricity and recharges the battery, getting that extended distance out of your battery life.
• Hiboy S2 App allows you complete control over the scooter’s functions from both the heads-up display and your phone if you download the app. Then you can also lock the wheels on the scooter from your phone, and only you and your phone can unlock them, preventing any unauthorized use or theft.

Cons:

• The adjusting rear shock absorber can take some time to fine-tune to your liking and may make the ride too stiff or too loose at first. Just keep this in mind because all it takes is a simple twist of a wrench to adjust the smoothness and comfortability of the ride.

8) MX1 by MACWHEEL Electric Scooter With Powerful 350W Motor

A snappy, speedy, and powerful little scooter made for bigger people to comfortably ride without sacrificing power due to the stress of having a larger body riding it.

• Innovative braking technology allows you to safely bring yourself to a quick stop even when traveling at full speed on a downhill slope.

Cons:

Picking Out Your Perfect Electric Adult Scooter

When buying your next electric scooter, you should keep a few aspects in mind and figure them out before even searching the internet for the perfect one.

The first of these is what functions you want from your scooter.

Do you want a faster scooter that reaches a high speed but sacrifices some battery life possibly and has a lower mileage range than a slightly slower scooter? That is important because if you have a long-distance commute, for instance, using your electric scooter to get to and from work, you want to get as much distance as possible from a single charge.

Some faster scooters have multiple speed settings or power modes that allow you to control your top speed and, therefore, your battery life and maximum distance. You can have the best of both worlds if you are willing to spend the extra money on a more feature-packed model.

 

Also, you want to figure out what power of battery and motor you want. If you are at the upper range of the 265 lb maximum of many of these scooters, you may wish for a 36 Volt 350 Watt powerful motor to handle the extra strain your scooter will be under a smaller individuals scooter would face.

But if you are just tall and large but do not weigh as much, you can get away with the cheaper and simpler 250 Watt 24 Volt systems. It is totally up to your preferences and your budget.

Remember that you will pay for power, meaning that the more powerful a motor and the longer-lasting the battery, the more expensive the scooter is generally. It is essential to figure out our third aspect, your budget.

 

Once you understand what your budget is and what power options you will be looking at, then you can begin focusing on special features like:

• shock absorbers
• battery recharging on the go systems
• multiple gears
• and power settings
• lights both front and rear
• brake lights
• removable battery

And plenty of other unique features that vary from unit to unit.

 

Some models have software to connect to an app you download onto your phone. You can change the cruise control speed, change the power setting, turn lights on or off, lock the wheels in place to avoid unauthorized use or theft, and see the current speed displayed on your phone’s screen, which is an excellent feature for those with kids.

 

For example, suppose you wanted to buy two scooters, one for you and one for your kid. In that case, you can pick out a model with an app for the remote control so that when you go riding through the city with your kid, you can adjust their speed settings and cruise control to a lower top speed to keep them safe and from getting out of hand while riding in the streets. If you get separated from traffic, you can turn on the lights or even flash the headlights to find your kid.

There are as many unique features as models of electric scooters, and they each offer something different or a unique combination of features.

So, finding the perfect scooter for your wants and needs is possible. Before starting, it takes a little forethought to figure out what you want and need. Or, if you find a feature you cannot live without while shopping, you can search specifically for models with that feature and other features you desire to have in your next electric scooter.

Ensure that the one you choose is rated for the proper weight level because many scooters are not ranked very high in the weight department. Even though they may say “adult scooter,” they do not carry a real adult’s physical size.

All of the scooters on this list are rated to carry 250-265lbs, and some have large pedestals for bigger feet to stand on or other options like attachment bracket screw holes predrilled for installing a seat later on.
