SCOOTER STYLE TYPES GUIDE
STAND-UP
A stand-up scooter, known simply as a scooter, is like the cool kid of personal transportation. No seats here – you gotta stand tall while zipping around. With a platform to stand on, handlebars to steer, and two wheels to rule the road, these scooters can be powered by human kicks, electric motors, or a mix of both.
SEATED
Rolling in style, seated scooters bring the VIP treatment to your ride with a cozy seat fit for a king or queen. No need to stand when you can glide around in comfort on two or three wheels with an electric boost, all while lounging on anything from a basic seat to a plush throne-like perch.
FAT-TIRE
Say hello to the chunky cousin of regular scooters - the fat-tire scooter! Sporting beefy, oversized tires, these bad boys offer a stable, grippy ride with extra shock-absorbing powers. They're the daredevils of the scooter world, conquering rough roads, gravel pits, sandy beaches, and even snowy trails like champs. Perfect for off-road adventures and city escapades where the pavement's a bit... unpredictable. With their wide tires, these scooters are all about balance and control.
ELECTRIC KICK
An electric kick scooter is like the cool kid of the scooter gang with an electric motor for an extra boost. Picture your regular kick scooter but with a power-up - a battery-powered motor hanging out near the back wheel, ready to zip you forward. You can cruise around by giving it a kick-start or simply rev up using the handlebar throttle. It's like having a turbo button on your scooter!
FOLDABLE
A foldable scooter is like the origami champ of scooters, mastering the art of folding up into a compact size for easy storage and travel. With nifty folding handlebars and decks, these scooters shrink down to fit snugly in your space. Don't be fooled by their collapsible magic - they still zip around like a traditional scooter, making them the go-to ride for quick trips and moderate jaunts.
3-WHEEL VS. TRIKE
While there is a defined difference between these two scooter types, many manufacturers use "Trike" and "3-Wheel" interchangeably with their models having three wheels instead of two.
Electric trikes typically have a design resembling a traditional tricycle, with two wheels at the back and one wheel at the front. They often have a more stable and balanced design, making them suitable for various terrains and cargo-carrying purposes.
3-wheel electric scooters usually feature a design similar to a traditional scooter with two wheels at the front and one wheel at the back. They often prioritize maneuverability and agility, making them suitable for urban commuting and recreational riding.
