The manufactures maximum rider weight figures are often confused with the designed maximum frame load capabilities.
An electric scooter with a maximum frame load rating of 300 pounds will not move around a 300 pound rider to any usable degree.
Riders with weights approaching an electric scooters "maximum rider weight" will experience reduced speed and distance capabilities accordingly.


Most electric scooter top speed values are furnished by the manufacture and are arrived at through mathematical means.
In other words, on paper, a particular electric scooter model should be able to achieve a given  top speed based on it's power producing ability, gearing, maximum motor R.P.M. (Revolutions Per Minute), tire size and a few additional technical values. Even though these calculations are correct and serve as a reliable base line they can not take into consideration everyday variables like multiple riders of different weights, riding ability or habits and owner assembly set up adjustments to the electric scooter. Terrain and wind are not a part of the calculation but extremely important to the electric scooters top speed.
Here are a few of the most common things that will negatively affect your electric scooter's top speed
1. The electric scooter batteries are not fully charged.
2. Low tires. Under inflated tires are not only dangerous but can affect your electric scooters top speed by as much as 30%.
3. Brake(s) are adjusted too tightly or are "dragging" on drum or rotor.
4. Axel nuts are overtightened causing a drag on the electric scooters wheel bearings.
5. Drive chain or belt is too tight.

Most electric scooter travel distance values are furnished by the manufacture and are arrived at through mathematical means.
In other words, on paper, a particular electric scooter model should be able to achieve a given  travel distance based on it's power storage capabilities, gearing, maximum motor R.P.M. (Revolutions Per Minute), tire size and a few additional technical values. Even though these calculations are correct and serve as a reliable base line they can not take into consideration everyday variables like multiple riders of different weights, riding ability or habits and owner assembly set up adjustments to the electric scooter. Terrain and wind are not a part of the calculation but extremely important to the electric scooters travel distance.
When you first ride your scooter you will most likely not get the advertised travel distance because your natural tendencies will be to full throttle your new electric scooter in every riding situation.
Here are a few of the most common things that will negatively affect your electric scooter's travel distance.
1. The electric scooter batteries are not fully charged.
2. Low tires. Under inflated tires are not only dangerous but can affect your electric scooters travel distance by as much as 30%.
3. Brake(s) are adjusted too tightly or are "dragging" on drum or rotor.
4. Axel nuts are overtightened causing a drag on the electric scooters wheel bearings.
5. Drive chain or belt is too tight.
Here are some helpful tips on increasing your electric scooters travel distance.
1. Avoid full throttle starts.
2. Give your electric scooter a "kick off" when starting.
3. Run your electric scooter at half throttle. At half throttle you will get around 65% of top cruising speed on most electric scooter models.
4. Coast or freewheel your electric scooter as mush as possible.
5. Keep your electric scooter maintained and adjusted properly.
