The most prominent features of heavy duty scooters, also known as bariatric scooters, are extra sturdy construction of the frame, rear suspension at the very minimum, preferably including front wheel suspension as well. Heavy duty electric scooters come either in a 3 wheel and in a 4 wheel version. The wheels will be oversized and either of the pneumatic type, or rubber foam filled. Heavy duty electric scooters will feature bigger batteries and stronger electric motors, in a few cases multiple motors. They will usually be capable of driving well over 10 miles per battery charge, as far as 20 miles. Thanks to larger wheels, they will have a larger ground clearance and thanks to more power, will be able to drive over uneven, rugged terrains such as golf ranges, or nature trails.
