Introduction to All-Terrain Mobility Scooters

Afikim produces off road scooters that are very strong and useful. In fact, they are one of the top producers on the market, and have been around for almost three decades. They know how to not only make an off road scooter that looks nice to ride around in, but one that will stay steady, last you for a long time, and meet every safety demand that you could conceivably be worried about. That’s a great advantage to 2-seat scooters, where you want as much extra strength and stability you can possibly get. Because you have a different lay of weight distribution, and an added amount of weight on the scooter, having one that is stable will be your top concern.

The 3-wheeled Afikim Afiscooter S offers top-notch safety and performance features which are ‘tested’ outdoors on a variety of terrains. That means they are already tested on smooth sidewalks, grassy areas, and even loose gravel. These tests ensure that no matter where you plan on taking the Afiscooter S, you’ll have the full knowledge that it has already been tested out on those terrains. In fact, the Afikim line of scooters are some of the most durable and secure on the market! The Afiscooter S is no different.

These safety and performance features include but aren’t limited to a top speed of nearly 10 mph, a 56” turning radius, at least 5 inches of ground clearance, a 28-mile maximum travel range and the ability to withstand up to 450 lbs. That means you’ll be able to travel wherever you want on just a single charge. The larger turning radius means that it’s not great for super tight turns and needs a little extra clearance, but it’s one of the only ‘downsides’ that this off road scooter offers. Practice taking the scooter for a few turns around the house before taking it out on the town and you’ll be in fine shape.

Another sturdy, reliable, “bench” style seat with space for two, the Afiscooter SE with 2-Seat Option is a superb choice for buyers who are shopping for an off road scooter that accommodates two passengers at the same time. This scooter has a super powerful 1300-Watt motor and a weight capacity of 550 lbs, so rest assured it can deal with all the stress two people put on the scooter. The seat here is 33” wide, just like the Afiscooter S Series. Unlike the S Series which is more like two captain seats fused together, this seat is a single large bench. You can also purchase an extra single seat to instantly turn your scooter into a one seater. This can be helpful if you’re having a hard time adjusting to the weight distribution of a two seater, as it can take a bit of getting used to.

With 75 Ah batteries, this retro looking beauty can travel for up to 15 miles on a full charge. The frame of this off road scooter is built with quality but also luxury in mind – note the full rear and front suspension. The SE scooter comes with a big storage basket at the rear, with an option for an even stronger open rear storage box that can take higher loads and looks super sharp. See figure 1 and figure 2 for the difference between the two. To see more 3-Wheel Scooters, check this guide out!

The maximum speed on the SE is 7.5 mph and the weight capacity is 550 lbs, giving you an average of 225 lbs per passenger. As well as these impressive specs, this unit is designed with a unique look borrowed from the motorcycle industry that is sure to catch everyone’s attention and make a powerful statement. It is great for use on paved roads, and inside of gated communities but also at resorts, golf courses, and on trails.

The Merits Silverado Extreme is the peak of luxury and one of the best outdoor mobility scooters on the market. Not only is the Merits Brand one that you know is trustworthy, but the Silverado Extreme features some state of the line luxuries and sports a look that will have peoples heads turning as you go past. That might not seem like much, but because there is such a set stigma surrounding mobility scooters, it can be hard to get past the initial embarrassment and discomfort of being seen in one. That’s not the case with the Silverado Extreme, which is crafted to look like a luxury and puts you as one of the most stylish things on the street.

The Silverado Extreme comes with a large, super comfortable seat. This means not only are you going to look like you’re stylish, but you’re quite literally going to be riding in style, as well. This seat is so comfortable that even spending hours in the Silverado Extreme won’t cause you any discomfort or put any undue stress on your hips, legs, or back. In fact, many people say that it’s one of the single most comfortable all terrain scooters on the market!

As if that isn’t enough, the Silverado Extreme also offers a smooth ride matched by almost no other off road scooter and ultra stability due to a generously wide frame. Because of this, even the roughest of terrains will refrain from being a jostling ride. Even going off road won’t jar your back and leave you in pain later on. The Silverado Extreme rides like an absolute beauty. It’s known as being a luxury mobility scooter for a reason! This is uncommon when it comes to most all terrain mobility scooters, who prioritize safety over comfort. The Silverado Extreme gives you endless amounts of both.

At Scooters ’N Chairs, we offer a diverse selection of all-terrain scooters – built and designed to go over rugged terrain and durable enough for everyday outdoor use. The large and high-grip wheels along with desirably high ground clearance means they can easily be traversed over all kinds of terrain. The suspension systems alone have been built to provide the smoothest and most comfortable ride, no matter how rough or uneven the terrain may be.

Off road scooters are best used outdoors, as they do not feature the lightweight compactness and portability of less powerful indoor scooters. If you’re looking to go the distance when embarking on outdoor adventures, you can easily load up your off-road scooter on a vehicle lift and store it in the back of a large van or car.

With top-quality household brands like Drive Medical, E-Wheels, Afikim and Golden Technologies, you have plenty of high-powered off-road rides to choose from.

Off Road Scooters are not just for the Elderly or Physically Impaired

Even though our entire mobility scooter lineup is appropriate for seniors or those with physical limitations – our range of all-terrain mobility scooters are best suited to those who are looking for the fastest ride possible, do a lot of leisure traveling and enjoy outdoor trekking on 4-wheels (or 3-wheels). Our recreational scooters boast the more power, performance and durability than the average power scooter. That makes it appropriate, not just for seniors, but users of all ages, interests, and needs.

Never Heard of a Recreational Off Road Scooter before?

Recreational scooters are meant to serve as a fun and stylish way of enjoying off roading and trail riding, rather than serving as a mobility aid. They are typically a lot faster, larger, heavier and just plain fun to ride around on. They offer practically the same excitement as a dirt bike, but in 3-wheel and 4-wheel configurations.

If leisure or recreational riding is your thing, then our off road scooters with their high performance, advanced suspensions and exceptional battery capacity are just the ticket. One look at our collection, and you’ll immediately know why folks of all age groups love picking up all-terrain scooters to get their kicks and thrills outdoors.

Fast and a lot of fun to drive, off road scooters are ideal for all ages, whether you’re a college student, a thrill-seeking adult or a senior who loves staying active. It doesn’t matter whether you want to drive around at the beach, over farm lands, community centers or college campuses, they are indeed a stylish way to move around.

If joyriding is your thing, then our recreational scooters will help you break the mold. Hang out with a bunch of friends at the mall, walk your dog as you turn heads and get compliments or simply go joyriding around town. These power scooters offer so many possibilities that time and energy end up being the only limiting factor.

Designed for a pleasurable and fun ride, our off road scooters feature impressive travel ranges and top speeds that are higher than most 3-wheel and 4-wheel scooters. A word to the wise though! If this is your first time riding a recreational scooter, then it’s probably best to take it slow, as they are very responsive and accelerate faster than most ‘everyday mobility scooters’.

All-terrain recreational scooters are best if you’re looking for the following:

•         A fair amount of outdoor use, particularly over rough terrain
•         More powerful motor for higher acceleration and top speed
•         Significantly longer travel distances which may be ideal for long road trips or highway use
•         Super fun to drive while also being easy to operate
•         Can be transported with a vehicle lift and be taken with you
•         Exceptional suspension design for the best comfort over uneven terrain
•         Ultra-long battery life

Questions to Ask Yourself before Buying an All Terrain Mobility Scooter

We offer an expansive range of off-road scooters for your outdoor riding pleasure. At first glance, you may find the sheer number of choices overwhelming, which is why it pays to ask yourself a few simple questions:

Where am I going to use the all-terrain mobility scooter?

This may sound counter-intuitive at first because recreational and all-terrain scooters are built for outdoor use, right?

Even though the majority of our recreational scooters are indeed powerful 4-wheelers that are ideal for outdoor use, some may be suitable for indoor use as well, so long as your travel space isn’t too confined. A good example in this case would be the Patriot 4-wheel Scooter by Golden Technologies with its 8 mph top speed, 18 mile travel range and infinitely adjustable tiller.

However, if you feel that you’ll be doing a fair amount of traveling indoors and within confined or narrow spaces, then you’re better off browsing through our 3-wheeler and 4-wheeler lineup, because our recreational lineup specifically caters to those looking for thrill, excitement and adventure outdoors.

Do I need to take my all terrain mobility scooter with me while traveling?

Answer this question and you can narrow it down to a select few models that will best fit your needs. The majority of off road scooters are rather heavy, weighing anywhere between 300-500 lbs and require a specialized vehicle lift to help you load them up in the back of a van, truck or other large vehicle.

However, there are other smaller and also less powerful (and less exciting) models that weigh just over 200 lbs, which can be lifted and loaded into the back of a vehicle with the help of an additional pair of hands.

With that said, if you’ll be using your all terrain mobility scooter only to get around, no matter what the distance, then you’d want to get the best of the best – something which boasts style, performance and range such as the E-Wheels 38 Off Road Scooter with its 15 mph top speed and 38 mile travel distance or the Drive Medical Cobra GT4 with its 10 mph top speed, but a very impressive 82” turning radius, 35 mile travel range and maximum weight-bearing capacity of 450 lbs.

How far will I need to travel at a time?

The longer distances you need to cover at a time, the longer battery life you will require. With our best outdoor mobility scooters, this is never an issue – we have models that are capable of traveling over 35 miles at a stretch, and we also offer models that can travel up to 50 miles on a single battery charge.

Take into consideration how much riding you want to do without having to stop for a battery charge, then take your pick.

Are they for off-road driving only or rural driving too?

Let’s set the record straight – off road scooters are a fantastic choice for all tarmac and non-tarmac surfaces. They have the ability to handle just as well on uneven surfaces as they do on sidewalks and public roads.

However, if you’re looking for something extra rugged and durable that will take you over practically any surface, including hills, dirt and rocky trails, loose beaches, gravel, and grass – you should go with the EV Rider Vita Monster S12X Power Scooter. This is a mini-monstrosity of a scooter and with its large, elevated-tread wheels it can relentlessly conquer any outdoor terrain.

At the end of the day, if off roading is the main goal, then you may have to sacrifice a little bit of speed for the heavier, higher-torque models with tires that have been purposefully built for off roading - such as the one above. If you need acceleration and top speed while moving with great finesse and ease over a variety of surfaces, not just dirt, grass or gravel, then the faster models with 15 mph top speeds are appropriate.

For your convenience, each model has a detailed spec-sheet which will help you decide if it fits the bill, as far as outdoor pleasure riding goes.

Can I make do with 3 wheels or are 4 wheels the way to go?

A very valid question indeed. 3-wheelers are known for their highly impressive turning radiuses, but when it comes to stability, nothing trumps a 4-wheeled All Terrain Mobility Scooter.

On the other hand, if you’re a tall individual then you might might prefer 3 wheels as it will allow you to comfortably rest your legs on either side of the tiller. Furthermore, 3-wheelers also have a lighter “heaviest part”, which may make it easier to carry them around while you’re traveling.

Weigh in your circumstances, and then decide which wheel configuration is best for you. With that said, the stability and sturdiness required on off-road surfaces while traveling at high speeds is best served by 4-wheels.
