Travel

For those wanting to maintain their independence and a busy lifestyle, mobility scooters can make a world of difference. Built for users who struggle to walk long distances, scooters can drive across dozens of miles on a single charge. 

One of the most important considerations when purchasing a mobility scooter is determining where you want the scooter to take you. For most individuals, a scooter will be used indoors, in shopping centers, or in other day-to-day environments. 

However, some users may be looking for a little more adventure. Do you often travel on dirt paths, gravel, grass, or sand? Don’t want to miss the family camping trip or beach day? It may be time to consider an all-terrain scooter. 

Designed to withstand rugged, uneven terrain, these heavy-duty scooters are capable of traveling almost anywhere. 

While individual models may vary, most all-terrain scooters have the following features: 

• Shock absorption systems for a smooth ride on uneven ground
• Large tires with anti-slip tread
• LED Headlights and reflectors to safely travel off-road and into less-lit areas
• High ground clearance to glide over small obstacles

All-terrain models are larger and more powerful than typical mobility scooters. They’re not designed to be easily folded up and packed away, but are sturdy enough to keep up on off-road adventures. 

Here, we’ve put together a list of four of our best-selling all-terrain scooters in the United States. Each of these options is highly-rated and well-designed. If you’re looking for a lifestyle that’s off the beaten path, this is a great place to start. 

Baja Wrangler® 2 All Terrain Scooter

Fully-loaded with features, the Baja Wrangler’s industry-leading CTS suspension ensures a smooth ride over rugged terrain. 

A powerful LED console display shows the current temperature, time, miles driven, past trips taken, and other helpful information. The scooter travels an impressive 29 miles on a single battery life, limiting the need to stop and recharge. Adjust the tiller to your comfort while you charge your phone via the built-in USB charger. The Baja Wrangler makes it simple: write a list of your next epic adventures, and this scooter can take you there. 

Afiscooter S4 Full-size scooter 

A highly versatile personal mobility vehicle with a 450lb weight limit, this scooter is perfect for all kinds of terrain. The Afiscooter was manufactured to adhere to rigorous European safety standards, and includes protective features like a panic sensor that halts operation if the accelerator is over-squeezed. Drive over obstacles and rough paths with ease due to high ground clearance, shock absorbers, and dual suspension. 

Travel up to 31 miles on a single charge, driving at a surprisingly quick 9.3mph. Additional features include a front lock box, built-in cup holder, ergonomic captain’s seat, and elegant stitching. A detailed LED control panel displays the current speed, miles traveled, and more.

Patriot Off-Road Scooter

If you’re looking for a more affordable option, the Patriot Off-Road Scooter is a great choice to make outdoor travel practical and comfortable. Cruise around town or your property at a top speed of 8mph, traveling 18 miles on a single battery charge. 13” low profile, non-marking solid tires mean you’ll never have to worry about changing a flat tire, and a 3.5” ground clearance glides over most small obstacles. 

Golden hasn’t forgotten about the details, either: store your belongings in the front basket or water bottle compartments, then relax in the cushioned captain’s seat as you head to your next destination.

Silverado Extreme Full Size Scooter 

A sleek, modern design that packs a punch: the Silverado Extreme is the best of both worlds when it comes to an all-terrain mobility solution. The scooter features full suspension, extra storage space beneath the tiller, a modern LED dashboard display, and even safety mechanisms that slow speed when turns are detected. 

The Silverado sports the longest battery range from the options listed in this guide: travel up to 55 miles without needing to recharge! Relax in a generously-sized seat, adjust the armrests, and cruise around at up to 9.6mph. 

Mobility scooters can be a great option for anyone needing an extra bit of support and independence to live an active lifestyle. By finding the right scooter for your needs, you won’t miss a beat in accomplishing daily errands, excursions, or even international travel. 

Do you or a loved one ever avoid going out because of the required walking or other fatigue the trip would create? Do you struggle to “keep up” with others? A mobility scooter can instantly make your life more comfortable, giving you the energy to accomplish more in your day. 

Elderly users often benefit from mobility scooters, as well as those with a handicap or illness that impacts their mobility. Scooters can also be a great fit for individuals recovering from surgery, allowing them to get back to their busy lives as soon as possible. 

Forget being limited to smooth pathways– the right mobility scooter can take you just about anywhere. With varying degrees of clearance, incline ratings, large wheels, and shock absorbers, scooters can handle all sorts of terrain: from grass to gravel, dirt, and more. Go wherever you need to with greater independence and comfort. 

Many scooters can quickly become your most trusted travel companion! Portable scooters fold or disassemble into parts convenient to store in the back of a vehicle or plane overhead compartment. 

Get more done in your day without losing energy. Electric mobility scooters don’t require manual force to move, meaning you or a caretaker won’t tire from pushing a chair. Incredibly, these scooters often travel from 5-20 miles on a single charge, keeping up with your most action-packed days. 

Mobility scooters are designed for comfort, helping you accomplish all your tasks without strain. Sit back, relax, and cruise through grocery store aisles or shopping malls as fast as you’d like. 

Most electric scooters also have storage baskets and compartments to store your bags and personal belongings without added strain. 

These days, electric mobility scooters come in a wide range of models for your specific needs and lifestyle: from a simple travel folding chair to an all-terrain power scooter that can tackle snow and steep curbs. 

The first thing to consider when choosing a mobility scooter is the number of wheels (really!). 

Both scooters are great options but have different benefits according to your lifestyle preferences. 

A 4-wheel scooter is a great mobility option for those who live active, outdoor lives. They typically come equipped with a sturdier wheelbase, greater clearance heights, larger tires, and higher incline ratings. These scooters generally boast higher speeds and greater battery mileage, limiting the times you’ll need to stop and recharge. 

On the other hand, 3-wheel scooters have tight turn radiuses and are better for maneuvering in narrow spaces. If you primarily use your scooter indoors, a 3-wheel scooter may be a better option. The triangular design also gives users more legroom to stretch out and relax. If you travel often, 3-wheel scooters are often lighter and more compact. 

There are, of course, exceptions to every rule. Some 4-wheel models are designed for travel, while certain 3-wheel scooters can easily handle outdoor terrain. Every scooter model will have a unique set of benefits, so be sure to read the description of each. 

In addition to the number of wheels, here are some other items to consider: 

• Weight Limit: What weight requirements would you like your scooter to accommodate? If you need extra support, consider a heavy-duty scooter with weight limits of up to 600lbs.
• Range: How long do you need your scooter to travel on a single charge?
• Incline Rating: Do you live on a steep driveway or regularly encounter hills? You may need a scooter with a larger climbing angle.
• Portability: Consider where you’ll be taking your scooter. If you’re a frequent traveler, find a model that can easily fold or disassemble.
• Storage: Scooters come equipped with a variety of storage compartments and baskets. If you’d like to use your scooter for regular errands, select a model with your desired storage space.
• Style: Make sure to choose a color and scooter model that you love. Many models come in multiple colors, making it easy to match your personal style.
• Add-ons: Consider any add-ons which are important to your ideal comfort and functionality. Such as safety lights, USB charging, LCD displays, cupholder, and more.
