Mobility Scooter Range and Battery, Explained

One of the first questions renters ask is how far a scooter will go before it needs charging. It is a smart thing to think about, because running low in the middle of a fun day is no one's idea of a good time. Here is a plain-English look at what range means and how to plan around it.

Oceans Mobility delivers every scooter fully charged and ready to go.

What affects range

A scooter's range, how far it travels on a full charge, depends on several things: the size of the battery, the weight it carries, the terrain (hills and grass use more power than flat pavement), the temperature, and how much stop-and-go there is. Travel scooters like the Pride GoGo have smaller batteries and shorter range, which is the trade-off for being light and portable. Full-size models like the Victory 10 carry larger batteries for longer range.

Planning your day

For most everyday outings, errands, a town visit, a few hours out, a travel scooter's range is plenty, and you simply recharge overnight. For a big day, a festival, a long day at the beach, miles of sightseeing, it is worth planning. Recharge whenever you have a break, and for the longest days, add a spare battery so you can swap in fresh power and never cut things short.
