Electric Scooter for Riders up to 5.7 Feet (170cm)

There are many different types of electric scooters, and choosing the right size can be difficult, especially if you have a preferred riding style. And the height of your scooter can have a big impact on your comfort while riding. How to pick the right electric scooter for you when you are within 5.7 feet (170cm) tall? Let’s take a look.

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.

Why Should I Pick the Right Height?

  1. Safety: If the height of the scooter is not suitable, it may lead to incorrect posture while riding, which may easily cause fatigue and instability, and even increase the risk of falling.
  2. Comfort: An electric scooter that suits your height can support a long ride and improve comfort.

Considerations

What are some things to consider when choosing a motorized scooter for your height? Since the handlebar height cannot be adjusted manually, the following points can be used as a guide:

  • Generally speaking, a height between your hips and belly button is optimal when standing on the scooter.
  • If you need to ride for long periods of time, it is recommended to purchase a higher handlebar. Taller handlebars are closer to your belly button to comfortably maintain a more upright position and reduce stress on your back.
  • If you are into stunts, you should opt for a shorter, lighter scooter and the handlebars should be located near the waistband to allow for more maneuvers in the air.

Points for Selection

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.

FAQ

Are there any electric scooters suitable for people of short stature?

The following approach is for reference only:

1. Scooters made in China, mainly for the Asian market, are designed to be generally smaller in size and body dimensions due to traffic congestion caused by high population density. You can try to buy electric scooters made in China.

2. Modified electric scooters. The scooter has no parts on the bars, only the wires that run through it, and a separately installed handle with a screen. Try taking it to a garage to have the handlebars shortened to the right height.
