E Scooter Weight Limit Guide

Your e scooter weight limit is very important to be aware of because exceeding it will slow down your scooter, and put extra strain on its components, motor and battery. It could also also affect the efficiency of your brakes and in a worse case scenario burn out your motor or lead to a blown fuse.

As a general rule of thumb it’s best to consider that on average most electric scooters have a weight limit of 100-120 kg (220-265 lbs). If you are a particularly tall or heavy person you will need to keep this in mind and make sure that any extra baggage (e.g. a backpack) doesn’t push you over this safety limit.

Putting the scooter under this amount of stress and strain for prolonged periods of time will definitely reduce its lifespan and could even lead to the battery, motor or individual components becoming defective.

In this article we will look at the weight limit for a number of different electric scooters, and try to give as much helpful advice as possible around the topic of weight limit on a scooter.

If you are in any doubt about how much weight your electric scooter can take before it slows down and experiences unnecessary wear and tear you should always consult your e scooter’s manual or the specifications of the scooter on the manufacturer’s website, or the website you bought the scooter from.
