How far can the electric mobility scooter travel before recharging is required?

Each model of scooter is designed to carry a particular type of battery. 

Changing the battery size alters the scooters stability.

The distance each battery charge can accomplish is dependant on the following:

• The weight of the user
• The travel surface
• Battery care (the batteries should be kept a full charge. Allowing the battery to go flat and not recharging it fully will decrease the battery life.  Scooter batteries not in use should also be charged once a week.)

Batteries are heavy so scooter manufacturers choose the battery size by considering how transportable verses how powerful the mobility scooter should be. 

The smaller travel scooters, 3 & 4 wheel, mostly use the 12volt/12ah size battery.  This battery pack is easy to transport and provides the rider approximately 15kms in distance per charge.

Some travel models will accommodate a slightly larger battery to provide more distance however the 15km distance is adequate for most users.

The more robust 3 and 4 wheel standard mobility scooters will use the 12 volt/32ah which allow 40km per charge. 

Although the battery is heavier and needs more actions to disconnect it for transportation it is required so the scooter can provide more power for the uneven outdoor conditions encountered by the rider.

Scooter manufacturers are constantly improving their models.
