how well does this scooter take steep hills
1857574
It takes small hills very well, large hills are not what this scooter is made for.I am 205lbs. and it pulls me all over with out a problem, very good scooter for the money.

With a fully charged battery, steep hills are no problem. But remember, a steep hill wil drain the battery a lot faster, which reduces the distance you can travel between charges. Try to keep the battery usage meter lights in the yellow area and you should be fine.

Sorry, I don't know as it has only been ridden in our neighborhood. It would depend on the weight of the rider and if the battery is fully charged. I would imagine this one would do better than other models I considered because of the size of the wheels.

This answer depends on three factors. How heavy is the rider of the scooter, how fresh is the charge, and how steep is the hill? My 9 year old easily flys up hills at 95 lbs. and the charge easily lasts 35-45 minutes on smooth level terrain. My 240lb. frame needs a little kicking action to get up hills, but easily pulls me around on level ground. For the price, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

i disagree. i had problems getting up steep hills with this scooter so i returned it. i am a 180 lb man and this scooter is not designed for adults who go long distances or up steep hills.

I am 180 lbs and the scooter did not make it up steep hills without losing most of its battery power. this scooter is not really meant for adults and not meant for steep hills.

It does fairly well! even with a 180 lbs person on it, it slow down but not that much.

This scooter stock will do 20mph with a regen braking on hills to slow it down. Mine has an aftermarket controller with no speed limit, won't go over 25mph on the flats with no headwind.

As a mobility scooter rider it is always a concern to know will my batteries last to get me home. I try to keep on top of this by closely monitoring distance traveled on a fresh charge. RMS amps per hour are useless for this purpose. I know I can do a 10 mile round trip on level ground with my scooter. Won't try a long steep hill on a 10 mile trip but 4 miles works. How much more??? Trial and error and judgment. Too many variables to engineer a neat answer in advance.

The range depends on flat terrain, no headwind around 25 miles. With hills and headwinds they really slows it down alot and reduce range. This scooter is best for someone with no driver license, going to the local market/bank etc. without working up a sweat!

Since the scooter as you can see is low if there is no gradient like a road hump it will be difficult but with careful driving it can be managed. Otherwise it may not be able go up such small rises like 2-3inches.

It works best going down hill. My kids ride it both in the street and sidewalk.

Hello. I have a four year old whom loves this scooter. It is very stable with a wide base for little feet. It is easy for her to use and propels smoothly. The wheels have held up perfectly on both bricked and paved driveways. I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed.

Grass should be OK but rocky driveways/gravel may be a problem as this scooter has no shock absorbers/springs. It goes better on smooth asphalt.

It is not self propelled but very light weight. Steep hills will depend on who's pushing it.

It is pretty easy to maneuver even with 4-5 kayaks on it. Especially on smooth surfaces. Not so sure about rocky/bumpy surfaces. Can move it loaded through grass OK. weight well balanced on the rear axle.

Hi Edward, my husband drives the scooter down from the ramp and across the yard and it does just fine. Obviously if its wet out, it isn't as good, but I have tried it out and have driven around the yard with ours. We are extremely happy with it too. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any more questions.

It is a very good trick scooter. We had a problem with one of the wheels wearing down but the company replaced it quickly under warranty. We have not had any problem since and my grandson is constantly doing jumps, spins, etc.

I have used it on sand (beach) and rough terrain (tree roots/grass) and it has been great. Big wheels and good shock absorption.

Bought for 14yr old son. Has has it for about 4 months. He said its lightweight and can handle them with no problem. Him and his friends say its a good scooter. He has put a lot of miles on it and wheels holding up great.

The plastic wheels are a bit flimsy,, but I do store the unit Standing upright in my shed & roll it out for use - over the door jam & on grass & dirt. It is quite heavy, but if you keep it on an angle the wheels support the weight. I don't think you could pull it up a very steep hill, without a struggle. If the manufacturer had made rubber wheels.. it would probably be easier. But the hard pastic wheels are not very forgiving.. Hope this helps.

I have used it on some steep inclines with success, but not on a steep hill, so I can't say for sure. Just bear in mind that this isn't a heavy duty lawn mower. It is primarily an environmentally friendly lawn mower.
