Electric Scooter Buying Guide

Decision 1 — Two wheels, three wheels, or four?

Two-wheelers are the road machines: the Citycoco and motorcycle families publish 45 km/h classes and the catalog's longest two-wheel ranges. Three-wheelers trade speed for stability and load beds — the cargo family's A31 publishes 70–85 km with a 2000W drive. Four-wheelers (the A41) add published overall dimensions and a four-wheel cargo format at utility-vehicle pace. Start from the work, not the silhouette.

Decision 2 — Speed class

The range publishes two classes: 25 km/h (the A11 commuter; the mobility mainstream) and 45 km/h (EH Citycoco, A21, SL motorcycle). Your market's licence and registration rules attach to the class — read the street legal guide before falling for a faster model your buyers cannot register.

Decision 3 — Range, read off the battery

Published range follows battery capacity with unusual honesty in this catalog:

• 48 V 20 Ah → the A11's 40 km.
• 60 V 32 Ah → 60–70 km for the A21 (detail-page figures) and the SL motorcycle.
• 72 V 58 Ah → the A31's 70–85 km.
• The CP-8 → 100–120 km per charge.
• The dual-battery Citycoco fitment → up to 140 km.

Charging time grows alongside capacity — 4–6 hours at the small end, 16–17 hours for the largest dual-battery combination. The long range page lays the ladder out in full.

Decision 4 — Load

The only loading-capacity figure published across the two-wheel families is 200 kg (EH series, CP-3). If your buyer's question is payload, that is the number — and if the job is freight, skip to the cargo trike guide, where bed format matters more than the headline figure.

Decision 5 — Documents and delivery route

For Europe: does the exact model publish an EEC or COC field, and is it stocked at the Netherlands warehouse or factory-ordered? The certification guide and the dealer program page cover both. Price negotiations go better after these five decisions are made, because they shrink a 193-page catalog to a two- or three-model shortlist — at which point the inquiry form gets you model-exact answers within one conversation.

Decision 6 — The seller's paper trail

One more decision, and it is about the transaction rather than the machine. A supplier whose catalog separates its figures by model and fitment — as this one does, down to publishing two different range figures for two battery fitments of the same scooter — is showing you how it will behave when something goes wrong: specifically. The warning signs are the opposite habits: range figures with no fitment attached, loading capacities quoted for models that publish none, certificates described in adjectives instead of document sets. Everything in this guide can be run against any supplier's offer, and it should be. When you are ready to run it against ours, the inquiry form is the door — bring the model codes your five decisions produced.

The shortlist this guide produces

Run honestly, the five decisions collapse the range quickly. Urban two-up riding lands on the EH series or the A21. A licence-light commute lands on the A11. Distance lands on the CP-8 or the dual-battery Citycoco. Freight lands on the A31 or the CP-3, with the A41 where dimensions and documentation lead. Care and stability land on the mobility family, in a different conversation altogether. If your shortlist has more than three models on it, a decision above has not really been made — go back to the one that wobbled.
