The fat tire electric scooter is a reasonably new trend hitting the scooter market. These sit-down scooters are like miniature motorcycles for those who want to ride in style and comfort.
The mini-bike-like style gives a lot of people a slight air of nostalgia for riding the old gas-powered versions of the past, only with the guilt-free comfort of riding a scooter that produces no emissions and is a much greener product than those old versions.
The old ones let off so many exhaust fumes that they would often leave a trail of smoke in their wake. The new electric models leave nothing behind and do not have the same noise pollution problems as those either.
They are a better choice and are so much fun to ride that you will surely fall in love with your next electric fat tire scooter from the first time you ride it.

It’s all about getting you from point A to point B with a minimum of fuss.
They ensure that the scooter is perfectly balanced at all times.
This scooter can handle a maximum speed of 30 km/h, but remember that the more people on the scooter, the slower the speed will be.
Unlike other scooters with oversized tires, you’ll only want to ride it on smoother surfaces. It’s not designed for off-roading (for off-road options, see here).
That’s a real shame because it has many features that make it ideal for off-roading on occasion.
That includes 8 inches of ground clearance and the ability to climb hills up to 30 degrees with ease. Not to mention the fact that it is virtually impossible to break the tires built into this scooter.
Add the hydraulic shocks, and a scooter offers an incredibly smooth ride.
Don’t worry about people stealing it, either. If you want to start it, you need a key. It’s bulky enough that no one can walk off with it.
Pros
- Fat tires help keep the scooter perfectly balanced
- Fantastic for two-up riders
- Probably one of the best electric scooters for tackling rougher terrain.
- Even if you are approaching the scooter’s maximum weight limit, high top speed.
- The hydraulics offer an incredibly smooth ride
Cons
- Bulkier, which means tight turns can be a bit difficult to negotiate
- Can’t remove the seat
This is the way to go if you need an electric scooter with two seats. Although it’s bulkier, if you ride this 1000W electric scooter with wide tires, you can be sure it’s up to the task.
Fat tire Electric Scooter Buying Guide
When considering which scooter is best to buy, you need to plan and answer a few questions yourself before you begin looking at the individual models.
The first question is, who is going to be riding this scooter? Most of these scooters are designed for riders 16 years or older because of the speeds they can reach and drive on the roadway with other vehicles. One should be familiar with general road rules and etiquette before climbing on an electric scooter for a ride. You need to know who will be driving the scooter mainly because this will determine how much of a weight limit you will be looking for and how powerful you will need a motor or power supply.
Is the person riding the scooter an extra-large person who may exceed a normal 250 lbs weight limit? If so, it is not a big deal. You will just need to look at the super-sturdy models with extra strength frames that hold 440 lbs or more and a powerful motor that can easily transport heavier weights up and down hills without issue.
There are plenty of scooters out there, so no worries there. You just need to know which ones will work for your rider. Or, if the person plans on using the scooter to transport extra items like groceries or bookbags, you should include this added weight in your weight considerations.
Next, you must consider what extra options are essential to you. Do you plan to park it at your local school during classes or outside work? If so, you may want a model with an alarm system that allows the wheels on the scooter to lock into position with the touch of a button, which will help ensure your scooter still is where you left it when you return to retrieve it for your trip back home. Another extra optional feature that may be important is a lighting system.
In some cases, all you need is a headlamp to get by safely and efficiently. Although, in many cases, if you plan on night riding, you need a scooter with a full light-set ( tail lights, signal lights like brake lights, and turn signals) to help you communicate your driving intentions with the other drivers.
The final thing to consider is what kind of style or appearance you want your scooter to have. Is having color options important to you? What about body style? If these matter to you, many choices offer style options and variations in bodywork.
Some incredible-looking models are available to choose from that will allow you to express your style sense and ride confidently in your choice of scooter model.
Once you have made these considerations, you are ready to begin shopping for your next fat tire electric scooter.
These lovely transportation options are environmentally friendly choices for those who want a greener mode of getting around. Whichever model you choose to go with, you really cannot go wrong choosing this mode of transportation to rely on for getting you to and from work, school, or to run your daily errands around town.
They are so wonderful that you will be glad to go green and use an electric fat tire scooter for your future travel needs.
