An off-road electric scooter has a number of important parameters that allow it to be attributed to this class. Due to them, the device can move along a difficult road, overcoming pits and various terrain features.

Main characteristics of such a mean of transportation

1. Wheels. Due to the wheels, the scooter can move steadily over rough terrain remaining manageable and safe. High-quality wheels easily ride over knots, potholes, pits, tree roots, stones, pebbles and other obstacles. Ideally, the diameter of the wheels should be equal or more than 10 inches. For example, the iScooter i9max electric scooter model is distinguished by 10 inch non pneumatic honeycomb tires;
2. Power. Off-road devices weigh much more than urban ones. To overcome obstacles with such a weight, they must have an impressive power of more than 1000 watts;
3. Reinforced frame/suspension. Their main task is to dampen vibration from driving on difficult terrain and collisions with rocks, knots and other obstacles. Off-road models have a more reliable and larger suspension, reducing the effect of kicks and shocks;

   

4. Brake system. The braking efficiency on rough terrain is lower than in urban conditions, and the danger is higher. Therefore, such electric scooters have more effective brakes that allow you to quickly stop even at high speed;
5. Depreciation. Additional shock absorbers at the front and rear dampen vibrations. Thus, you move comfortably on any roads;
6. Material. When choosing an off-road scooter, you should avoid a model with much plastic parts. The best off-road electric scooter consists entirely of steel elements;
7. Clearance. If the distance between the vehicle and the ground is too small, when driving on uneven ground, the bottom will often cling to it. Because of this, it will be uncomfortable to drive, and handling will decrease. Parts will wear out faster due to frequent impacts.

The worse the terrain you plan to drive through, the more the electric scooter must meet these requirements.

Important aspects of an off-road scooter

• Protection from moisture. If you are going to drive on wet and dirty roads, you should choose a device with protection from water ingress;
• A good scooter should have headlights, reflectors and a brake light. While driving off-road, it is extremely important to light the path in front of you;
• Ground clearance. A good off-road model should have a clearance of more than 15 centimeters. And if you drive through forests or places with difficult terrain, more than 20 centimetres;
• Throttle grip type. It can be either a pedal handle or a trigger. The second option gives more convenience and comfort in management. The arm does not get numb, which is important for long trips. The pedal is pressed with the thumb, it always makes you keep it in suspense. Still, if the device has a cruise control function, the problem is easily solved.

All these factors affect comfort and safety while riding an off-road electric scooter. For example, the iScooter ix6 off road electric scooter model has all the properties listed above.
