Power Scooters: Our Verdict and Recommendations

After evaluating each of the scooters, we found that the RiderXpress offers top performance and maneuverability, making it the best power scooter currently available. The scooter has a high weight capacity of 300 pounds, so it is suitable for most people. This mobility scooter has an operating range of 12.5 miles, allowing you to travel a significant distance on one charge. When you do have to charge the battery, it only takes between six and eight hours to reach full charge. Additionally, this scooter has a higher ground clearance than most of the others we reviewed, sitting 2.8 inches off the ground. It can also climb inclines of 12 degrees. With its long operating range, high ground clearance and steep incline climbing, this scooter is also suitable for outdoor use.

The Luggie is the easiest scooter to transport of those we reviewed. Weighing only 50 pounds, this portable scooter folds up and can be placed in a bag for easy transport. The scooter has superior performance and maneuverability. It can run for up to 12 miles and only takes between two and six hours to recharge its battery. Additionally, this three-wheel scooter makes sharp turns. Its low maximum weight capacity and inferior seat and handle options limit who can use the scooter, but its design and performance make it one of the best power scooters currently available.

The BuzzAround XL is a four-wheel scooter that performs well, is easy to assemble and comes with great customer service. The scooter performs similarly to other models with an operating range of 8 miles and maximum speed of 4 mph. It only weighs 109 pounds when assembled. Even with its many convenience parts, including a cup holder, adjustable arm rests, delta tiller handle and a deep cushioned stadium seat, this scooter comes in five easy-to-assemble components. In addition, you can order replacement parts directly from the manufacturer, making it easy to keep the maintenance up-to-date on this machine. This scooter has a lifetime warranty on its frame and lengthy warranties for all of its other parts.


While power scooters are viable transportation options for most people with disabilities, the cost of these scooters can be a deterrent. For temporary users, we suggest more affordable scooter options, such as the Go-Go Ultra X or Zip’r 3 Xtra. These two scooters share comparable performance capabilities as our top-rated models with maximum speeds peaking at 4 mph and operating ranges between 8 and 10 miles. While these scooters have limited weight capacity and long charge times, their lower price tags and basic features make them good options for temporary users.
