Adult electric scooters 120 kg: rating of the best models and recommendations for choosing

The scooter is becoming an increasingly popular means of transportation around the city. Electric scooters with a load of 120 kg are especially appreciated. Firstly, such versions are more suitable for overweight people, and, secondly, in a megalopolis, while riding, the owner of a scooter can stop by a store and go out with heavy purchases more than once. Let's try to figure out how to choose the right adult electric scooter 120 kg.

An electric scooter is a two-wheeled vehicle that is driven by an electric motor. It differs from mechanical products and units with a gasoline engine by the technique of movement: the owner just needs to push off with his foot once, and the scooter will go. That is, this type of transport allows you to cover significant distances without spending physical energy.

The advantages of such a copy are environmental friendliness and low noise, and if we compare an electric scooter with a gyro scooter or a monowheel, then this sample has a simpler control that even a child or an elderly person can handle.

In production, a certain margin of safety is laid in each scooter, that is, the maximum load that the structure must withstand. When calculating, the designers take into account the average weight of an adult male (70-80 kg), however, the safety margin of almost any electric scooter is higher than the average value by weight and amounts to 100-120kg.

Nevertheless, people weighing 120 kg should be aware that this structure will undergo heavy loads during operation, and other indicators will be noticeably reduced, for example, speed and mileage. In this regard, heavy people should choose electric scooters from 120 kg.

Other advantages of the electric scooter include the convenience of its operation in urban environments. For example, a folding mode of transport does not require searching for parking lots and allows you to go to a store, metro or bus. In addition, this vehicle has a beneficial effect on health, strengthens muscles, improves the condition of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, which is especially important for overweight people.

Electric scooters can be classified according to their type of construction. There are the following types.

• Whole. It is a monolithic structure. Of the advantages, it is worth noting the strength, durability, low noise of the unit, but it is not very convenient in operation, for example, problems may arise during storage and transportation.
• Folding. In this case, the elements are connected to each other and can be folded if necessary. Such a copy is easier to store or transport, it can even be placed in the trunk of a car. However, these are less reliable designs, have a shorter lifespan and can generate a lot of noise when driving on uneven surfaces.

There are also two types of electric scooter wheel design.

• Solid cast. This type of wheel is less susceptible to punctures and other obstacles on the road, it serves for a long time, but usually these are wheels of small diameter, which, when driving over bumps, produce vibration and cause discomfort to the owner. Therefore, it is recommended to purchase an electric scooter with solid wheels in cases where the unit will be operated mainly on a good flat asphalt road.
• Inflatable (pneumatic). This type of wheel has a large diameter, so that vibration during rolling is blocked, and the owner does not feel uncomfortable. However, this variety cannot boast of a long service life and puncture resistance. For off-road use, it is recommended to give preference to electric scooters with pneumatic wheels.

Hence the classification by wheel diameter follows. The cross-country ability of the electric scooter and the comfort of movement depend on this indicator.

Usually, one-piece electric scooters are equipped with larger wheels than foldable models. For driving on an asphalt road, it is recommended to choose a device with a wheel diameter of up to 8 inches, when operating on unpaved surfaces and off-road - models with 8-12 inches wheels.

When choosing an electric scooter for a weight of 120 kg, use the following guidelines.

• Buy two-wheeled vehicles only in a trusted store. Try to avoid cheap options that are often offered on Chinese sites - in this case, no one will give a quality guarantee.
• Inspect the body of the electric scooter. The lighter option is aluminum, such a model, for example, is easier to transport, but steel is a more durable material, and for people with increased weight, it is better to choose a steel case.
• Choose a powerful and heavy electric scooter and make sure you have reinforced suspension.
• Give preference to a chain drive. In practice, it turns out to be more durable than the belt drive type.
• Check how comfortable the footboard is, make sure the width is suitable for comfortable movement.
• It is better to buy models with steering wheel adjustment, but if the unit does not have this function, then the existing steering wheel should be at the chest level of the future owner or slightly lower.
