Choosing the wheel configuration that is best for you

3 wheel electric scooters

The 3 wheel electric scooters offer great leg room, since the unit has two wheels in the back but only one wheel upfront, which is steered. The compact versions allow for easy transportation with many models offering the ability to break the unit down into smaller pieces, or folding away. They offer a tighter turning radius making it easy to use in congestion from objects or people, but allow for limited use on uneven surfaces, longer distances or less than ideal conditions.

If, for example, taking walks with the dog, family or friends, doing indoor shopping and quick trips to the local store or longer trips involving another vehicle are the main uses, then the best choice is a 3 wheel electric scooter.

4 wheel electric scooters

If a more aggressive approach is required, then the 4 wheel electric scooter is the solution. With the increased stability and higher top speed gained with the addition of the extra wheel comes the loss of some turning radius, so they are not ideal for indoor use, certainly not within tighter spaces. The durability and strength of the 4 wheel electric scooter means that they are useful for most mobility requirements.
