Introduction
Finding an electric scooter when you weigh more than 120 kg is not easy. Most scooters on the market are designed for riders under 100–110 kg, and pushing them beyond their limits leads to poor performance, reduced range, unstable handling, and long-term mechanical issues.
At Vepace, we regularly advise riders who weigh 120 kg, 130 kg, or even up to 150 kg, and the reality is simple:
only a few scooters are truly built to handle higher rider weight safely and efficiently.
In this guide, we present the best electric scooters for heavy riders, focusing on models with real structural strength, powerful motors, reinforced frames, and high maximum load ratings.
Why Rider Weight Matters More Than You Think
Rider weight affects much more than just range.
For heavier riders, weight directly impacts:
-
Acceleration and torque
-
Hill climbing ability
-
Motor stress and overheating
-
Battery consumption
-
Frame durability
-
Suspension performance
-
Braking distance
A scooter that feels “fine” for an 80 kg rider can feel dangerous or underpowered at 120 kg.
That’s why choosing a scooter rated for your weight is not optional—it’s essential.
What to Look for in an Electric Scooter Over 120kg
When recommending scooters for heavier riders, Vepace focuses on these non-negotiable criteria:
-
High maximum load rating (130–150 kg)
-
Dual motors or very powerful single motor
-
High voltage battery (60V minimum)
-
Reinforced frame and deck
-
Real suspension system
-
Strong braking system
-
Wide deck and stable geometry
The scooters below meet these requirements.

Why Many Scooters Fail Above 120kg
Many scooters claim “120 kg max load”, but in reality:
-
Performance drops sharply near the limit
-
Motors overheat
-
Range becomes unpredictable
-
Frame fatigue increases
-
Suspension bottoms out
This is why Vepace recommends choosing a scooter rated ABOVE your actual weight, not equal to it.
If you weigh 120 kg, a scooter rated for 150 kg will always perform better and last longer.
Real-World Advice for Heavy Riders
If you weigh more than 120 kg:
-
Avoid low-voltage scooters (36V / 48V)
-
Avoid single-motor budget models
-
Focus on torque, not top speed
-
Expect slightly reduced range
-
Choose reinforced frames and strong suspension
Our product pages on Vepace clearly indicate realistic performance expectations for heavier riders.
