They are each eight inches in diameter and burly enough to roll over grass and small obstacles with no trouble. Why are we impressed? The durable all-rubber wheels are one of the main selling points of this scooter. It’s not quite as plush as it initially looks, but even heavier users found it to be quite comfortable. Users also loved the seat on this scooter, which features armrests and a wide base. The battery and electric motor together give it a maximum speed of over 9 mph – it’s the second fastest foldable scooter we reviewed – and a range of almost 19 miles. The scooter is equipped with an 8 amp-hour lithium-ion battery, which can be removed for plane travel. Plus, you can roll it along on the wheels for easy transport. From a relatively large unfolded size, it packs down small enough to fit inside the trunk of almost any car. This scooter uses a slightly more complicated three-part folding mechanism than other models, but it only takes a few seconds to fold and unfold once you get the hang of it. The WISGING is a budget-friendly folding scooter, but you wouldn’t know that just from looking at its features. It also weighs over 60 pounds, which makes it hard to lift into a car for transport. What could be improved? This scooter folds down in seconds, but the folded size isn’t all that small. That’s especially important if you plan to use it at higher speeds. That adds some weight, but it also makes this scooter much more stable. What are its best features? Unlike a lot of other mobility scooters, the Ephesus S5 has four wheels instead of three.
You can also add a cargo basket to the handlebars if you plan to use this scooter while shopping. For example, there is a removable child seat that folds down under the main seat when not in use. This scooter also comes with a few useful accessories. For most users, that means that this scooter only needs to be charged once every several days. On top of that, the scooter boasts a range of 25 miles on a single charge thanks to its lithium-ion battery. The speed is adjustable in three levels, which are controlled by a switch on the handlebars.
This budget-friendly scooter is the fastest model we reviewed, with a maximum speed up to 12 mph. The Ephesus S5 scooter bucks the notion that foldable mobility scooters need to be slow and expensive.
