Pride Go Go Elite Traveller 2 Platinum

No. 3 · Our pick here

Best for tight homes and busy stores: the tightest-turning four-wheel scooter Pride makes, with a 39 lb heaviest piece.

+ 300 lb capacity
+ 8.8 mi range
+ 39 lb heaviest piece
+ Breaks down into pieces

9.0/10Excellent

37-inch turning radius on four wheels, thanks to Pride's EZ Turn
Charge360 magnetic charging and an angle-adjustable tiller (Platinum features)
Breaks down into five pieces; heaviest piece 39 lb

The catch: With the standard 12 Ah batteries Pride quotes 6.6 miles at 300 lb and 8.8 at 220 lb. That covers the grocery store and the pharmacy, not a day at the zoo. Budget the extra $185 for the 18 Ah pack (13.8 miles at 220 lb) if outings run long, and know that the bigger batteries add weight: 29.6 lb for the pack instead of 19.5.

Golden Buzzaround XL (GB150)

No. 9

Best for riders who want suspension and a tight 39-inch turn in a scooter that still comes apart.

+ 325 lb capacity
+ 8 mi range
+ 42.5 lb heaviest piece
+ Breaks down into pieces

8.5/10Very good

Front and rear suspension, rare on a scooter that comes apart
MicroTurn: 39-inch turning radius with four-wheel stability (Golden)
325 lb capacity and 3.5 inches of ground clearance under the deck

The catch: Range is the weak spot: Golden lists up to 8 miles. And the price we score is the MSRP, because Golden only lists dealers. Dealer prices are often lower, so call two before you buy and compare with the Pride Elite Traveller 2.
