1. CONSIDER YOUR NEEDS

SOVERSKY Electric scooters are designed for different people and different purposes. It’s up to you to decide what features are most important. If comfort is key, then a step-through frame may be best. If riding long distances is your cup of tea, then a battery of 3000 watt-hours or more is most appropriate. Understanding your personal needs will help you pick what features matter most on your electric scooter.

2. CHOOSE YOUR RETAILERWISELY

Buying an fat tire electric scooter should be as much about buying into a scooter shop as it is about the product itself. You should judge your place of purchase on three points: vibe, commitment, and quality. The vibe is the feeling you get when you walk into the shop. Is the staff friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful? Commitment refers to the shop’s visible enthusiasm for electric bikes.

3. THE WARRANTY MATTERS

Buying an electric scooter is a big investment, regardless of whether it is $1500 or $10000. With a warranty, you can rest assured that your investment is worth it. A one-year warranty on parts, Three months with motor, and battery and controller (with no exclusions for normal use) are reasonable to expect from most electric scooter manufacturers with products selling for over $2000.

4. TRUST YOUR INTUITION

It may seem like a jungle of contradictory information out there, and that is not far from the truth. There are many choices, lots of opinions, and not much in the way of trusted organizations that certify and review electric scooters in a systematic manner. What is someone to do? The best strategy is to put your trust in your intuition. If something is too good to be true, it probably is.

5. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR

The adage works as much for a fat tire electric scooter as it does everything else in life. It is not cheap to build a good electric scooter that is reliable and has quality components.
