What to ask when buying a scooter

Ask how far it will travel on one charge, what the weight limit is, and whether it is suitable for indoor or outdoor use. You should also ask about seat comfort, turning radius, charging time, portability, and whether it can be dismantled or folded for transport. It is smart to ask about warranty length, servicing, parts availability, and battery replacement costs. Another useful question is whether you can test ride the scooter before buying. Good questions help you avoid buying a scooter that looks suitable on paper but is uncomfortable or impractical in real life.
