Here is a list of comparison topics that highlight the performance, portability, and stability features that are important in selecting the right electric scooter. 

Performance

• Weight Capacity – the scooter weight capacity specifications must work for the intended rider.
• Maximum Climbing Angle – consider the terrain and climbing angle needs.
• Top Speed – more outdoor use will influence the desired cruising speed. If you want a swifter ride, choose a 3-wheel scooter with a narrow front end, which makes it easier to steer and better at handling corners.
• Travel Range per Charge – knowing the range will ensure the battery power works for the intended use so the rider isn't stranded.
• Turning Radius - how easily the scooter can navigate indoor and outdoor spaces. By design, a 3-wheel scooter's narrow front end with its single tire handles corners the best.

Portability & Storage

• Weight – when looking for the best travel scooters, the ability to easily dismantle a scooter into manageable pieces is important and also eliminates the need to purchase a scooter lift.
• Folding – a scooter with a foldable tiller will fit more easily into a trunk.

Stability and Comfort

• 3- or 4-Wheel Models - both options are safe and stable, but riders who need maximum stability will want a sturdy 4-wheel scooter platform.
• Seat Style - unless it is used for occasional recreation, make sure the seat has the support for all-day mobility.  
• Handle Style – consider which handle style is most comfortable to prevent hand fatigue when riding.
• Shock Absorption – not all mobility scooters on the market offer shock absorption. A model with shock absorption should be considered if riding on unlevel and bumpy terrain.
