Introduction to Off Road Electric Scooters

Mobility scooters are designed to benefit individuals who have restricted movement. With access to a scooter, those who find it difficult to get out and about can socialize, travel to work and run errands independently. There is a vast array of electric scooters on the market, and there are makes and models to suit a wide range of requirements and preferences. It is estimated that almost 7 million Americans use assistive devices to help them get around. If you’re traveling on uneven terrain, you use your off road electric scooter to cover substantial distances, or the routes you take require you to mount curbs or bumps, it’s important to consider suspension and ground clearance. If you’re on the hunt for a scooter that will help you tackle uneven ground and humps in the road with no trouble, we’ll help you find the perfect off road electric scooter with suspension.

The three-wheel option has a smaller turning radius of 56" compared to the 90" of the four-wheel option, but both of them have maximum climbing angles of 8 degrees at 15kph and 11 degrees at 12kph.
