Electric Scooters for Climbing Hills

Electric Scooters for Climbing Hills - Why You Need One That's Strong Enough

The best electric scooters for climbing hills have dual motor drive. You need a dual motor scooter to easily drive up steep inclines at a reasonable speed. Why? 

If you've ridden an electric scooter up a hill and felt like it would be faster walking, you're not alone! As you may know, many cheap electric scooters are not powerful enough to carry you uphill.

Oftentimes, that's because some adult electric scooters have a single motor and solid tires, that don't provide great traction. Also, these scooters usually have a lower max load capacity (under 250 pounds). So really, budget e-scooters aren't robust enough to handle heavy weights. Or climb hills!  

Avoid struggling to climb hilly streets! Trust VoroMotors scooters to get you uphill and to your destination quickly. Our 24/7 customer support team is here to help find the best long-term transportation solution for you, so you can ride up hills with ease. 

Choose the Best Electric Scooter for Hills: Understanding Maximum Incline Rates and Optimal Incline Rates

Each electric scooter comes with a maximum incline rate or hill climb angle. This is the maximum gradient of a hill that the scooter can manage.

However, a scooter that boasts a high incline rate won't always perform consistently when going up steep hills.

For example, let's say your scooter has a maximum incline rate of 20 degrees. In that case, it can handle driving up a 20-degree gradient hill. However, riding up inclines of around 12 or 15 degrees may cause your scooter to slow down.

This is because most scooters have an optimal incline rate as well. This is the gradient they can manage while still maintaining their speed.

Most scooters' optimal incline rates are slightly lower than their maximum incline rate. So a scooter with a 20-degree maximum incline rate can handle up to around a 15-degree incline before affecting uphill speed. 

Scooters with a higher hill climb angle will also have a higher optimal incline rate.

Incline Grades: What They Mean and How They Relate to Riding a Scooter Up Hills

Some manufacturers use the term "incline grade" rather than "incline rate." These grades are usually given as percentages.

It is important to note that a percentage is not equal to the gradient of a hill. Percentage figures will be higher than the degree rate, which can be misleading. A scooter with a 20% incline grade, for example, has a maximum incline rate of 12 degrees.

So make sure you keep this in mind to find a scooter that provides the right amount of power for you.

Moderate Inclines (5-10 Degrees) or Low Grade Climb

Most cities in America have a few moderate inclines in them. These would be tricky to manage with a low-powered scooter, and your legs would burn if you tried to bicycle uphill.

However, most quality hill climbing scooters are designed to make going up and down moderate hills a breeze!

Steep Inclines (10-15 Degrees) or Mid Grade Climb

10- to 15-degree inclines aren't quite as steep as the hills you'll find in San Francisco or Fitchburg. However, they still require more power than standard urban inclines.

Because of this, you will need to make sure you buy a powerful scooter if you live in a hilly area.

If you will be driving up and down hill and are taller or heavier, a dual motor electric scooter for adults is the best option. 

With steep hills, it can be difficult for single motor scooters to reach optimum speed. Depending on your weight and speed, you could also put too much strain on the scooter and cause it to fail.

Extreme Inclines (15 Degrees or More) or Steep Grade Climb

As their name suggests, hills with a gradient of 15 degrees or more are seriously steep.

To put this in perspective, take a look at Filbert Street in San Francisco (17.5 degrees) or Baldwin Street in New Zealand (19 degrees). These are some of the steepest streets in the world.

You will need a lot of power to get up hills this steep. As we've already mentioned, most scooters tend to slow down after they reach their optimum incline rate.

Because of this, you should look for a scooter that has a maximum incline rate higher than the grade of the hills around you. We suggest you increase the rate, so if the hills have a 16-degree gradient, look for scooters with a 30 degree or higher hill climb angle.

This will ensure that you can get up and down steep inclines without any trouble! With that in mind, let's take a look at some of the best hill climbing scooters.

How Hill Climbing Scooters by VoroMotors Are Different

Hill climbing scooters from VoroMotors all have two motors (front and rear), pneumatic tires, disc brakes, and top speeds ranging from 30 mph to 60 mph.

Very sturdy for phones without cases

This phone holder does support many phones of different sizes since you can adjust the width. However, it's best suited if you do not have any cases on your phone. I use Otterboxes and even the slimmest one will fit, but screws can become loose if you're on uneven surfaces and will jostle loose and your phone can fly off. That's what happened to me on a pebble road. It has the secureness at the bottom if you sit your phone upright, but I scoot on the Emove Cruiser and had mine sitting on top of my handlebar horizontally and constantly make sure it's not loose on the side where it holds my phone. Now, I broke my S23 Galaxy Ultra on my own and was sent the S24 Galaxy Ultra and it doesn't fit as snug with a case, so now I cannot use it. I can take off my case, but I got a more secure Otterbox and it's not exactly made to constantly remove and put back on just to sit in my phone holder. That's the only reason for a 4 star. It is very sturdy and fits well on my scooter. It's too bad I can't continue to use it.

Great side mirror

Free gift with my purchase that arrived really fast

Horrible customer service

I will be writing a Google review as well about the horrible service that I receive from your company. I ordered the brakes and immediately after contacted you to cancel the order due to financial situation. I talked to three different people, and they assured me that it wouldn't be sent. You guys still sent it anyway, I have all of emails and text messages , I will be posting all of it on Google. Horrible how you treat people I've bought two scooters from you in two years both Emove cruisers and this is what I get from you. I will never Buy another scooter from you again.

works good for paralleled battery setup

Awesome

Received the e-scooter in great condition, had a blast on it, this is what I wanted small compact where I can flat foot, imma short guy 5'2 and this was perfect, better then my ebike. I was able to hit 38mph on smooth road and 41mph downhill . I recommend this for anybody especially for it's price range! My ebike was about 1600$ and this by far was better in anyway! Only cons is the foot peg was stripped and the brake could be better but easy fix :) shipping was fast! 2 days!

EMOVE RoadRunner V2 Seated Electric Scooter

Love my Fiido Q1S

I purchased my Fiido Q1S with suspension from Voro and absolutely love it! It’s my main transportation to and from work. Absolutely love it! I’m 5’2” and my Hubby is 6ft and it’s very comfortable. it’s great because of the weight limit too because we are not tiny people. Bummed that Voro no longer carry's them because we want to buy a 2nd one. I now have to order directly from Fiido. I’ve had it for two years.

Awesome service!

The last two instances have been nothing but stressful as my 15 year old son drives his Cruiser everywhere. However, the team at VORO always responded within a timely manner. There techs have consistently answered all my questions and their customer service is always great. Every product has been matched perfectly and when needed they’ve even done video calls to assist me in troubleshooting. Great Team!
Aloha 🤙🏽🤙🏽👌🏼

48V Controller

Even though the 48V Controller was no problem and everything plugged in perfectly. The only problem is that the 500W Hub Motor (Rear) for my Roadrunner V2 is going through issues and making noises that concern me. So I had wrote an email to be able to ask for a replacement based on the fact that I still have a warranty valid.

Pretty fun

I had a few none issues after watching the video. It would be nice to have a battery charging indicator but besides that having a blast scooting around with my kids and their scooters.

No Customer Service

This web site is a scam. I received a defective scooter. When you call for service it's always a recording followed by a prompt to leave a voice mail. When they call back they make it sound as of you've never contacted them rest assured I've filed a complaint with my credit card vendor. My suggestion is do not buy anything from these folks. There is no support, none. Stay away as far as you can.

Ordered 2 tires and only received 1 they took 2 weeks and 4 days to ship me 1 tire just keep that in mind

11" self sealing tire

I ordered and paid for a self selling tire. They sent me a standard tire. Contacted them and they sent me the correct tire. Although my scooter was almost down for 2 weeks, they did make it right.

Unbelievable!!!!

This is my first E-moto! Absolutely love it! So glad I went with E Ride Pro SS vs other options on the market!! I have had an absolute blast riding this bike! VORO MOTORS rocks!! Super fast shipping and excellent communication!
