How to choose a scooter with a load of 120-150 kg?
In recent years, a vehicle such as a scooter has become very popular, and now it can be seen on the street even more often than a bicycle. And if you take into account the fact that no specific skills are required to operate the scooter, then it clearly wins in terms of ease of operation compared to riding a skateboard or roller skating. For this reason, and also because of the variety of choice, availability, convenience, as well as the appearance on the market of electrical versions, this unit is in demand not only among children and adolescents, but also among adults. At the same time, you can choose a suitable model in terms of color, characteristics, power (when it comes to electric scooters) and taking into account its own weight. Consider models with a permissible load of 120-150 kg.
Choice
If you use a model that is not suitable for operation in terms of human weight, it will soon fail.
Scooters have many advantages, among which stand out:
- dimensions that allow you to take the scooter with you on public transport or on a trip;
- a mass that allows both an adult and a child to move the vehicle without any hassle;
- a design that allows the scooter to be folded and to move a very small vehicle out of the reach of the vehicle.
As for electric scooters, here the important characteristics include:
- developed speed;
- battery charging time (depending on the model);
- the ability to charge the battery thanks to kinetic energy recovery.
For teenagers
The choice of a scooter for teenagers should be made taking into account the maximum load and the required characteristics. Most often, young people make a choice in favor of an electric scooter. Although, against the background of all the advantages, this type of scooter also has disadvantages:
- require constant care, otherwise they may break in the coming weeks after purchase;
- have a mass that will not allow everyone to lift this vehicle, so it will often be more convenient to drive it along the road;
- the price range is significantly higher than that of conventional scooters.
However, electric scooters are more often bought for urban use.
It should be borne in mind that when choosing a scooter, the main thing is the desired duration of use. Adolescents grow very quickly, their mass can fluctuate within very different limits. Therefore, if the child is heavy, then you should not buy a scooter, the maximum load of which is the weight of the teenager.
If you choose an electric scooter for a teenager, then you can consider several models.
- Razor E 300. Carrying capacity up to 100 kg with a developed speed up to 24 km / h. Vehicle weight is 21 kg. The advantage of such a scooter is its price - from 19 to 25 thousand rubles.
- ZL-07I. The price of this model is from 22 to 26 thousand rubles. In this case, the mass of the vehicle is 28 kg. A powerful battery that lasts for 30 km and a high speed reached - 25 km / h.
- Hoverbot F-7 Premium. Charging is no more than 3 hours, the covered distance from the battery is 28 km, and the maximum speed is 25 km / h. But the main feature is the mass of such a vehicle, which is 7.5 kg with a maximum permissible load of 120 kg. But the price immediately increases and fluctuates around 35 thousand rubles.
Thus, when choosing a scooter for a teenager, it is best to purchase a model with a maximum load, which is 20-30 kg more than a child's weight. At the same time, finding a suitable vehicle will not be difficult, because there are models that can withstand over 120 kg. There are a lot of examples of durable scooters.
- XOOTR - scooters from America, which have a high carrying capacity and, thanks to metal discs and an all-metal part connecting the deck and steering column, are very durable. They are able to withstand a mass of up to 189 kg.
- HUDORA - The German representative is not capable of boasting the same strength as the American one, but the Big Wheel AIR 205 and 230 models are capable of withstanding a mass of up to 120 kg.
At the same time, in order for the electric scooter to hold the battery longer, you can install a second battery.
Well, if we are talking about ordinary scooters, then teenagers often choose models with large wheels, on which it is easier to develop high speed; with shock absorbers for easier push and better ride.
For adults
Usually, for adults, simplicity and convenience are the main indicators. Therefore, most often adults choose scooters with a seat, lightweight, fast charging, with a fit for a child, with a high carrying capacity. If we consider electric scooters, then it is best to choose among the models below.

Vehicle weight is 16 kg, charging time is 2 hours, and the covered distance from battery operation is 20 km. At the same time, the maximum developed speed is 25 km / h. The cost of such a vehicle is 35–40 thousand rubles.
Sometimes, to move with children or just for a full person, you may need a regular scooter with a maximum load of 150 kg. Their cost, in any case, will be much less than that of electric scooters. Let's take a look at the best samples.
- Shulz 200 Pro - an excellent choice, because such a scooter can withstand up to 150 kg, and itself weighs 4 kg.
- Tech Team Huracan 2017 - a scooter that folds in a couple of seconds and is very convenient for transportation thanks to a special belt, although it weighs 6 kg. Rubber grips, a non-slip coating and a handbrake make this vehicle very suitable for an adult, especially if you take into account the cost of up to 6 thousand rubles.

For tall people, it is better to consider models with an adjustable steering wheel and seat, for overweight people - options with a high carrying capacity, and it is worth taking a scooter with a small margin of weight. You can take a scooter with a high maximum load so that you can ride with your children.
