Scooter Size Chart

In general, it is recommended that you measure the distance from the ground to the height of a person’s hips as well as the height of your belly button, and then find the scooter that is between the height of the hips and the belly button. The experience is best at this point.

Type of Fit

Generally speaking, your height will determine whether you need a sturdier, larger frame scooter. The taller you are, the wider your limbs will have to spread out when riding a scooter, so an electric scooter with a large frame body is recommended. But bigger scooters will be heavier and less portable. A more portable scooter has less space and is less comfortable than a larger scooter.

The taller you are, the more unstable your center of gravity is, and you can sit and ride to lower your body’s center of gravity, so an electric scooter with a seat is also a good choice.

Points for Selection

In general, your height will determine whether you need a sturdier, larger frame scooter. The taller you are, the wider your limbs will have to spread out when riding the scooter.

After picking the right height, various factors should be considered next, including:

Motor
The higher the motor power, the higher the load/climbing/power. For daily commuting on flat ground or small hills, a power range of 250W to 350W is generally recommended, while in areas with steeper hills, a power range of 500W or more is considered.
Top speed
Determining how fast you can ride, commercially available city cars are generally limited to a maximum speed of 20 mph.
Range
Determines how far you can ride. Typically, the range is between 10 and 30 kilometers.
Brake system
A good braking system ensures personal safety. Braking systems are categorized as follows
  • Mechanical braking system
    • Drum brake: Easy to maintain, but difficult to disassemble for repair.
    • Disc brake: Short braking distance, but more pressure needs to be applied when braking.
  • Electronic braking system
    • Electronic brake: Maintenance-free, but may malfunction.
    • Regenerative brake: low maintenance but poor braking performance.
Tire
Choose the right type and size of tire for your usage and needs for better handling and comfort. The larger the tire size, the greater the safety.
Tires are classified as follows:
Solid tires: will not blow out, no need to inflate, easy to use, but less comfortable on bumpy roads.
Pneumatic tires: have better shock absorption and comfort for long-distance riding, but require regular inspection and inflation, and there is a risk of puncture.
Suspension
Used for vibration damping, in single and double suspension.
Light
The lighting system of an electric scooter usually consists of a headlight, a taillight, and a blinker. The headlight is used to illuminate the road ahead to ensure the safety of the rider. The tail light is used to alert vehicles and pedestrians behind to avoid accidents. The flashing light improves the visibility of the rider at night or in low visibility conditions.
Load
Check the manufacturer’s weight limits for motorized scooters and choose one that can carry the weight of the items you need to carry for safety and stability. Don’t forget to account for your own weight.
Waterproof level
The IP rating indicates the resistance of the motorized scooter to dust, water and moisture. The higher the IP rating, the more resistant it is to water and moisture.
Body materials and construction
Choose strong and durable materials and construction to ensure the stability and safety of your electric scooter. Aluminum alloy, carbon fiber, magnesium alloy, iron and wood are some of the materials’ build quality.
