The Best Scooters For Adults (Review and Buying Guide) in 2023 | Autance

The Gotrax GXL V2 is reasonably priced, well-built, and has an abundance of useful features. Its powerful 250W motor delivers a top speed of 15.5 miles per hour and a maximum range of 12.5 miles on a single charge. The 8.5-inch pneumatic tires are perfectly balanced and work well to absorb bumps on the road, providing more stability and comfort. The disc braking and EABS anti-lock braking system is fast and responsive, and the two-step folding mechanism, as well as its 27-pound weight, means it’s easy to store and carry around.

One complaint about this scooter is that it has a limited range compared to other electric scooters in the same price range.

The Fast88 Adult Kick Scooter is a great option for beginners and experienced riders alike. It has a lightweight aluminum frame that feels sturdy and well-built. The handlebar height can be adjusted to accommodate kids or smaller riders. Heavy adults won’t have a problem cruising around on this scooter as it can carry loads of up to 220 pounds, and its wide deck and oversized wheels provide a good amount of comfort over bumpy city streets. The scooter weighs only 8.8 pounds, and this coupled with its three-second folding system means it’s easy to store and carry around.

One drawback is that, given its design, the foot rear brake might not be as quick to respond when accelerating at great speeds.

The Macwheel MX Pro electric scooter seems to have been specially made for urban commuting. The scooter comes almost fully assembled out of the box, with only the handlebars needing to be screwed on the body. It has a powerful 360 W brushless motor that delivers a maximum range of 25 miles, and a top speed of 15.5 miles per hour. Folding the scooter can be done within three seconds with its one-step folding feature. The 8.5-inch foam-filled tires mean you won’t need to worry about getting a flat, and the total charging time is estimated to be around six hours from zero to full.

The lack of suspension and non-pneumatic tire set up, however, means this scooter is only meant for riding over smooth, paved city streets.

The Razor A5 might have been designed with teenagers in mind — the color options are red, black, and blue, after all — but it’s a great scooter for adults, too. The scooter comes fully assembled out of the box. The oversized wheels provide a good and smooth riding experience on bumpy city streets, and the handlebars are spaced well even for tall adults. The scooter is made from aluminum and the deck can carry loads of up to 220 pounds. It won’t take two seconds to fold the scooter down, and this plus the fact that it’s only 9.4 pounds means it can be carried around or stored with ease.

The Polyurethane wheels on this scooter can get slippery over wet surfaces, however.

The Hiboy MAX Electric Scooter packs all the features the everyday commuter needs in an affordable package. Balancing on the scooter is made easy by the wide deck design, and its 350 W motor delivers loads of power. This same motor can propel riders to a top speed of 18 mph, and a maximum range of 17 miles. Not only that, but it’s also powerful enough to handle a 15-degree incline with relative ease. Among its other features are a double braking system, a front suspension, and an LED dashboard where the battery level and riding modes are displayed.

One downside to this scooter is that, at 34 pounds, it’s got quite some heft to it.

Most Lascoota Scooters are marketed for kids, and while this model is suitable for both teenagers and kids, its design and build quality makes it great for adults, too. The scooter is constructed from aluminum, which means it can take a ton of abuse, and it comes fully assembled out of the box. The push-up folding mechanism is easy to operate and can fold the scooter down in a matter of seconds. Unlike most kick scooters, the Lascoota scooter is fitted with a front suspension system for increased comfort, and the handlebars have four adjustable height options to accommodate riders of every size.

The rear-wheel foot brake of the scooter is slow to respond, however, so extra care must be taken when going downhill.

The Apollo XXL Wheel Scooter is a great option for cruising around town. It’s fitted with oversized 8-inch wheels that can handle road imperfections with ease. The handlebars have three height adjustment options to accommodate riders of any size. It features a quick-release folding mechanism for easy carrying, and the handlebars can be folded, too, reducing its size further for easy storage. As far as build quality is concerned, this scooter is made from aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, which means it’s light, sturdy, and can take a ton of abuse.

The rear-wheel friction brake of this scooter doesn’t respond fast when riding at high speeds, however.

The Schwinn Shuffle Adult Scooter is one of the most unique scooters in the market not least because it looks more like a bicycle — in fact, it’s also referred to as a kick bicycle. It’s made from a solid aluminum frame, and its retro-designed handlebars rise like that of a cruiser bike. It’s fitted with 26-inch wheels and a wooden deck on which to stand. One advantage of the design is that it allows the use of front and rear linear-pull brakes, which means fast and reliable stopping power.

This same unique design, however, is not without its drawbacks — unlike a conventional scooter, this one cannot be folded or carried around.

The Swagtron Folding Kick Scooter has all the bells and whistles the casual rider needs — it even comes with a bell attached to the handlebars, which is a useful piece of item one doesn’t expect to find in a scooter. It comes fully assembled and it can fold down in seconds for easy carrying and storing. The extra-large, 200m PU wheels go over uneven roads with confidence, and the frame is made from a tough aluminum alloy that is strong enough to handle the usual daily abuse.

Riders close to the maximum weight (220 pounds), however, might hear more rattling sounds than usual.

Qingor might not be among the most popular scooter brands out there but their electric scooter’s long list of features make it worth your attention. It has a powerful 350 W motor that delivers an impressive 25-mile maximum range and a top speed of 18.6 mph. Its wide deck can carry loads up to 264 pounds, and, just like most scooters, it has a one-step folding mechanism for easy carrying and storing. Other features include a dual braking system, 10-inch puncture-free tires, and an LCD dashboard that displays battery, speedometer, and riding mode information.

At 34.4 pounds, it will be tough to carry for long stretches even when folded, and the solid tires and lack of suspension means one is limited to riding this over paved city streets.
