Why would you need an e-scooter for camping?

The reasons for using an e-scooter to enjoy nature and not your own feet are many and they depend solely on the rider.

Some want to add some speed to the act, while others do not wish to get blisters or sores on their feet.

Some want to feel the gentle summer or autumn breeze, but do not wish to disturb nature with a loud motor, such as a motorcycle, an ATV or a car.

Or, perhaps you are the impatient type who does not like the trip itself and wishes to reach the camping destination ASAP. Furthermore, if you prefer to enjoy nature by only riding on at least two wheels, keep in mind that e-scooters have a virtually non-existent pollution imprint. At least not a direct imprint.

Some people, however, just enjoy riding e-scooters, be it alone or with their friends. And the activity of riding your scooter through grass and gravel, without putting in any effort, is quite a soothing and enjoyable activity.

Well, here is where the off-road e-scooter industry comes with the best solutions for such an activity. Further down in this article, you will find the top 3 list review of the best off-road scooters.

What should an e-scooter for camping have?

When talking camping, the first thing you should think about is that the scooter must be capable of going off-road. When looking for such scooters, you will see that they universally share a few features.

First of all, they are quite expensive. And by that, I mean that you should not expect the price to drop lower than 1,500$ for any good models. This is due to the myriad of extra features and high-quality materials. Those abilities include, but are not limited to:

• Incredibly powerful motors (usually two of them) at a power of 1600W+ each
• Powerful batteries, meant to allow for long trips (50+ miles/80+ km)
• They come with the ability to climb ridiculous angles of terrain, going up to 45 degrees (the common e-scooters can climb an average of 10-15 degrees)
• Large 10” or 11” off-road tires
• Come with incredibly powerful suspensions
• Very good brakes and they usually come with both disk and electric/regenerative brakes
• Solid quality frames with wide decks for extra comfort
• Come with integrated LED/LCD systems to allow you to know everything necessary (battery life, speed, etc)
• Come with powerful frontal lights
• Usually come with an IP54 water resistance rating, which means that they are usually able to function in slightly wet or rainy conditions. However, try to avoid direct water exposure as much as it is possible
• Are usually quite heavy at 78+ lbs/35+ kg
