A 300 lb rider and a 165 lb test rider are not taking the same trip
Every range number on a scooter page comes from the maker's own test, and few makers say who rode it. Only 3 of the 18 scooters here name a test rider weight, and all of those riders weigh under 180 lb. This site puts that detail next to every range figure, then lets you check your own commute against the maker's numbers.
How it works
- Load first. Your weight plus your bag and lock must fit under the maker's published max load. That number is a hard limit set by the maker.
- Range second. The trip check compares your round trip, times a buffer you choose, with the maker's range claim. It does not invent a heavy-rider range figure.
- Then the fine print. Each result shows the test rider weight and speed when the maker publishes them, and says so plainly when it does not.
Check a trip Look up state rules
Scooters where two sources agree on load and range
Each figure below was read on the maker's page and checked against a second published spec listing. Where the two did not match, the scooter sits in the full table instead, marked "not confirmed yet".
Rules can rule a scooter out
New York's definition of an electric scooter stops at 100 lb of scooter. Oregon's stops at 1,000 watts. Florida and Washington write a 20 mph cap into theirs. Many scooters in the table go past at least one of those marks. The rules lookup shows the published figure next to each law.
Climb claims use two units
Some makers give hill ability in percent grade, others in degrees. 20 degrees is about 36 percent. The hills page converts every claim to both.
