10 Best Electric Scooters With Seats [Ride Like A BOSS]

Last Updated on February 7, 2023 by Matt

Electric scooters with seats are incredibly practical. The seat adds a whole new dimension of usefulness to the whole concept. The person who first decided to add a seat on an electric scooter, is as much of a genius as the person who first decided to put cheese on a hamburger.

With an electric scooter with a seat, you get all the benefits of scooters, but you don’t have to stand the whole time. What’s not to love?

These are the best electric scooters with seats.

We will be going over all of these great options, and we will also explore why they are a brilliant idea.

Best electric scooters with seats

Let’s get right down to it – these are the best electric scooters with seats for adults currently available on the market.

1. NanRobot D6+ – best overall, best range, best climb angle

The following review may be a little skewed.

I believe that the NanRobot D6+ is one of the best electric scooters there is, especially in its price range. It is very likely that I will buy this scooter myself some time in the near future. So I may be biased, but I think my bias is well justified.

For the price of $1690, you will get a scooter that will be crazy powerful. The NanRobot D6+ can go as fast as 40 mph / 64 kmh and with a range of 40 mi / 64 km on a single charge.

What’s more, its climbing range is unmatched, the best out of all the scooters with seats. It can climb slopes as steep as 30 degrees, maintaining a solid speed. And it can pretty much do this on any terrain, due to the large 10-inch off-road tires with deep treads.

The NanRobot D6+ is simply hard to beat in its price range. I truly believe it is one of the best middle-price range scooters at the moment.

It has been described as the nerd’s scooter. That’s because all its parts are very easy to modify and customize.

The seat is simply one of the many options that come along with this scooter. It’s a great choice for those that prefer comfort and stability. The scooter comes with the seat included, and you can add or remove it as you need.

2. Hiboy S2 – best value

The Hiboy S2 is an inexpensive scooter, but it offers a lot of features and reliability. For a great price, you get some pretty decent performance features. Most notably, a top speed of 18 mph / 30 kmh and a range of 17 mi / 27 km.

The climb angle is only 9 degrees, which means that the Hiboy S2 will only handle the mildest slopes. That’s pretty good for a scooter this light, since the Hiboy S2 only weighs 29 lbs / 13 kg. It can carry a maximum weight of 265 lbs / 120 kg.

This is a very solid option for a budget scooter with the option to have a seat as well. The seat is included in the price, and you can add it and remove it as you need to. All in all, this is probably the best value option from the electric scooters with seats category.

3. Uberscoot 1600W – best value alternative

While not exactly a budget-priced scooter, the Uberscoot 1600W provides excellent value for money.

It is the most powerful budget electric scooter in the world right now. It’s even kind of strange that this model only has a range of 19 kilometers and a top speed of 39 km/h. Its motor can reach peak power levels of 1600 Watts (hence the name). It should be capable of much more.

This scooter is not one that you can easily carry around. It weighs 53 kilograms. The good news is, it is capable of carrying 120 kilograms on its deck. That makes it well suited for heavy adults that need a scooter as well.

It comes with the option to have a seat installed. That is the preferred way of usage for the majority of people.

For a relatively inexpensive price, you will get a very solid scooter. Its great mass, coupled with the seat, will provide you with a very comfortable, shake-free ride. The scooters ships with the seat, which is easily removable.

4. Razor E300S – best budget electric scooter with a seat

The Razor E300S is the seated version of the now legendary Razor E300. This model is one of the most popular, best selling electric scooters of all time.

The Razor E300S can reach top speeds of 15 mph / 24 kmh, and has a range of 10 mi / 16 km on a single battery charge.

For the price of around $300, it is the cheapest electric scooter with a seat. If you are on a very tight budget, this is the option for you. Despite the low price, you will still be getting a great time-tested scooter. Razor produces inexpensive scooters, but they are one of the best brands when it comes to that price category, so you will still be in safe hands.

The scooter comes with the seat included, but the seat is not removable.

5. Razor EcoSmart Metro – best electric scooter with a seat and a trunk

The Razor EcoSmart Metro may be even better than the Razor E300S, at least in some regards. This is one of the final iterations of the mega-popular Razor brand.

The Razor EcoSmart Metro has probably sold a few dozen thousand units at least.

It is indeed a very smart scooter. It comes with a comfortable (but non-removable) seat and even a basket attached to the rear of the seat. All of that makes it a very practical scooter. Just looking at the Razor EcoSmart reminds me of being a responsible adult (even though Razor is a brand predominantly for children’s electric scooters).

Besides the truly practical and smart features, the Razor EcoSmart has some pretty decent performance feat as well. A solid top speed of 30 km/h, and a range of 19 kilometers. It’s powered by a 500 Watt peak power, chain-driven motor.

The Razor EcoSmart Metro is an inexpensive scooter, clearly in the budget price category. It is one of the classic bestselling scooters of all time, which makes it a very safe choice. You can take a look at my detailed Razor EcoSmart Metro review if you want to find out more.

6. Dualtron X2 – best performance, longest range

Dualtron is a well-established brand in the e-scooter world. Their scooters are made by Minimotors, a now 23-year-old company that is one of the largest manufacturers of e-scooters today. They have a wide offer of all kinds of scooters. Their models are often the best-performing ones in their respective price ranges, as they focus on value (and power) a lot.

The Dualtron X2 model is another great offer from the brand. In fact, it is the most expensive and most powerful scooter in their repertoire.

For the price of $6490, you will get a scooter with a top speed of 65 mph / 105 kmh, and an astonishing range of 93 mi / 150 km!

That kind of power is simply unbelievable for a personal electric commuter.

Enormous off-road tires, hydraulic brakes, adjustable hydraulic suspension, and tons of other high-end features complete this scooter as probably one of the best electric scooters ever.

As for the seat, it can be installed or removed as needed. The seat doesn’t come included in the package, but you can order it on any web store that sells Dualtron scooters. The most common set-up is a wide, two-plate seat, with a thick frame and a dozen of screws that hold it in place.

Check out my detailed Dualtron X2 review if you’re curious about this brilliant scooter.

7. EMove Cruiser – best waterproof

For the price of $1499, the EMove Cruiser scooter is one of the best models in the $1500 price category. With a top speed of 33 mi / 53 km, and a range of 62 mi / 100 km, it is everything that you may ever need from a powerful commuting scooter.

But the good news doesn’t end there.

This model is also one of the best waterproof scooters ever made, with a proven IPX6 water protection rating. This puts it at the top of this list as the best waterproof scooter that can come with a seat.

The seat is not included in the price, but it can be added for a little over $60. Check out the video above for instructions on how to install the seat on this scooter.

The Emove Cruiser also comes with deeply patterned tubeless tires, along with dual spring suspension for a smooth ride in all weather conditions. There’s not much more you might ask for a comfortable ride.

8. Turbowheel Lightning+ – best design and look

If you are after a beautiful scooter with a seat, the Turbowheel Lightning+ is the choice for you. Just looking at this thing, the amazing black design with red details, the beautiful lines, it makes me want to grab it, start it and ride off on it into the sunset.

This is one of those models that look more like an alien futuristic vehicle than your typical scooter. For all the design lovers and sci-fi fans, this scooter is the right choice.

It comes with very solid performance abilities. Mainly, a top speed of 44 mph / 72 kmh, a range of 40 mi / 64 km on a single charge, and a great climbing angle of at least 30° / 58% incline. The seat is removable and you can install it on the rear of the deck.

The price of $2190 is a price that many satisfied users have chosen to pay without blinking an eye, and never looking back.

9. Say Yeah 2000W – best with fat tires

The Say Yeah 2000W is one of the most elegant electric scooters in the world. I often describe it as the Batcycle of electric scooters. It just seems like something that Batman himself would ride. The design draws heavy inspiration from the “chopper” motorcycles, which have the rider seated back and pretty low, with the steering wheel in line with their face.

Since the Say Yeah can be considered an electric bike, or a fat tire scooter, or whatever these models are called these days. It comes with a seat that is not removable.

Thanks to the unique design, the scooter is great for heavier adults. The balanced weight distribution and wide large deck make riding it that much easier.

Now, this design also has its drawbacks. For one, the scooter will not be able to go faster than 20 mph / 32 kmh. That is plenty of speed, though for some people it may not seem fast enough. It also has quite a short range of just 15 mi / 24 km, so you will get one or two rides a day at most.

Priced at around $1900, the Say Yeah 2000W is somewhere between a mid-priced and high-end scooter, checking boxes from both categories. But since quality scooters with fat tires are very, very rare in this price range, the Say Yeah 2000W is an absolute steal for those who love this style.

10. Inokim Light – best high-end

The Inokim brand has seen a recent surge in popularity, and it has been very well deserved. Inokim offers a great selection of middle to high priced electric scooters, with a strong focus on quality and craftsmanship.

The Inokim Light is one of their cheaper models. It comes with the option to have a seat installed.

Weighing only 29 lbs / 13 kg, it is a great lightweight scooter. It’s very easily portable and fitting everywhere, from car trunks to elevators.

For a medium-high price, you will get a scooter that will go as fast as 16 mph / 25 kmh, with a range of more than 14 mi / 22 km on a single charge. See the Inokim Light 2 review to find out more about the advanced version.

Frequently asked questions about electric scooters with seats

These are some of the common questions people have had about scooters with a seat.

Are seats on electric scooters removable?

For most electric scooters that have seats, the seats will be removable. It will usually be a matter of a few screws and bolts.

There are some models though, in which the seat is not removable. Scooters like the Say Yeah are designed to be used while seated the whole time. Removing the seat from them will be very unfeasible and will defeat the purpose of the scooter.

A good rule of thumb is, if the scooter kind of reminds you of a motorcycle, its seat will not be removable.

What are the advantages of electric scooters with seats?

The biggest advantage of an electric scooter with a seat (or the ability to have one installed), is that you can ride while seated (duh, right?).

This can make your rides much more comfortable, especially if you are tired or too lazy to ride while standing.

Scooters with seats shine on longer, boring roads. Think about your typical large strip of road you need to cover. There’s not a lot for you to do, except steer and watch the road. Sitting down while doing it will be less tiring. Your feet and your back will thank you as well.

And the great thing about most electric scooters with seats – if you don’t like the seat, you can easily remove it. This is not true for all scooters with seats, but it does apply to most of them.

What are the disadvantages of electric scooters with seats?

To me, it feels like controlling the scooter is harder while seated. For some reason, I’ve always felt like turning and balancing were easier while standing.

Not everyone might agree with this, but a lot of people would.

Also, if you are riding while seated, you will not have a chance to ride the scooter exactly as the manual suggests. Leaning forward when accelerating or climbing, or leaning backward while braking, will be a lot harder to do while seating.

Can I add a seat on any electric scooter?

If a scooter doesn’t have an easily installable seat, it may be unwise to try and add a custom seat yourself. The design and ergonomics of the scooter need to be different to handle a seat. Still, many people decide to try and add a seat anyway, and for many of them, it seems to work fine.

Does the Xiaomi M365 Pro have a seat?

Out of the box, the Xiaomi M365 and the Xiaomi M365 Pro don’t come with a seat. The scooter’s deck does not have the necessary framework to support installing a seat. However, since the Xiaomi M365 Pro is the world’s most popular scooter, there have been many customizations, including a seat custom-made for it. The seat will not work seamlessly with the scooter, but it may get the job done.

Can electric scooters with seats also have baskets or trunks?

Many electric scooters can a basket or a trunk. Those will be the most useful and practical scooter models. A seat or a trunk can usually be installed as an additional accessory on the stem of the scooter. However, if the scooter has a seat, a great option is installing the basket on the seat bar, right above the rear wheel.

Check the full post on the best electric scooters with a seat and a trunk to see if these models could work better for you.

Should I get an electric scooter with a seat?

Electric scooters with seats are not exactly the norm. While there are some great scooters that also have a seat, most of the time your primary choice will likely not have a seat.

This means, you will probably get an electric scooter with a seat only if you need one.

The main reason why you might get an electric scooter with a seat would be if you prefer comfort above all else.

As we saw, riding while seated comes with a few small disadvantages. While they are mostly tolerable, there is no reason to endure them unless you really need to ride while seated.

So get an electric scooter with a seat if you enjoy riding while seated. Or you have some long and boring parts of your commute. Any situation in which you would rather be sitting, really.
