There are plenty of great reasons to consider buying an electric scooter on three wheels. The 3 wheels provide greater stability and safety than regular two wheeled transporters, and sometimes even more torque and longer range for more rigorous use. You get the stability of a 4 wheel scooter, with the turning radius of a two-wheeler.

Even though there is a lot of 3 wheel mobility scooters available on the market, this type of scooter can be much more than a mobility aid. There are different models that cater to different riders and their specific needs. From stand up lightweight scooters to comfortable Vespa-like street legal mopeds and everything in between.

It handles a rider weighing up to 300lbs.

The Glion SNAPnGo, produced by the same company that is behind famous Glion Dolly folding electric scooter, is possibly one of the most portable mobility scooters available.

  • High-speed and long-range for great day trips
  • Anti-theft alarm system included
  • Lots of storage

What we didn’t like

  • Basic seat may become uncomfortable
  • Not great for off-road use

The eWheels EW 11 is a charming, vintage styled scooter with a classic paint job from the 50’s is sure to turn heads and bring back memories.

TopMate ES32

What we liked

  • Very lightweight and compact
  • Surprisingly well built

What we didn’t like

  • It is very small and not suitable for heavier riders

TopMate Three Wheel Scooter has a 250 W brushless hub motor powered by an unique 36 V 7.2 Ah lithium battery, can reach speeds up to 16 mph, and is actually far more comfortable than it looks. The range is about 21 miles, but the charging time is just about 3.5 hours, which very fast compared to most other electric scooters.

Riding one is a unique experience, and you need to put your feet up next to the front wheel (like a children’s tricycle), but you’ll get used to it in no time. The simple suspension system can brave bumps and cracks in the street or sidewalk, and when combined with the pneumatic tires, makes the ride pretty enjoyable.

This scooter has a weight limit of 265 lbs, and weighs just under 35 lbs. It’s foldable and can fit nicely into a medium-sized car trunk, and you can use the rear wheels to roll it around when it’s folded, like a rolling suitcase. It can stand upright and doesn’t take too much space, so you can plug it in at your office or living room.
