Answer a few questions and we'll match you to the right scooter specifications for your lifestyle β built for South African roads, real-world conditions and honest advice.
What are you mainly looking to use your scooter for?
Your answer shapes the entire quiz β leisure riders and commuters need very different things from a scooter.
Leisure Path Β· Question 1 of 6
What is your budget?
Be honest β this is the biggest single factor in what's actually available to you in South Africa.
Leisure Path Β· Question 2 of 6
How much do you weigh?
Rider weight directly impacts range, hill climbing and motor choice. Heavier riders need more power than manufacturers typically advertise.
Leisure Path Β· Question 3 of 6
How far do you want to ride in a single trip?
Manufacturer range figures are lab-tested. Real-world range is typically 60β70% of the number on the box.
Leisure Path Β· Question 4 of 6
How hilly is where you plan to ride?
Hills drain battery fast and expose underpowered motors quickly. Cape Town's hills are steeper than most people expect.
Leisure Path Β· Question 5 of 6
How fast would you like to ride?
The legal limit on SA public roads and bike lanes is 25km/h. Faster scooters exist but carry legal and safety considerations.
Leisure Path Β· Question 6 of 6
How important is portability?
Performance scooters can weigh 25β40kg. If you need to carry it upstairs or put it in a car, weight matters a lot.
Utility Path Β· Question 1 of 6
How far is your typical daily round trip?
This is the most important number in the quiz. Your scooter must complete this distance reliably every day, not just on a good day.
Utility Path Β· Question 2 of 6
How much do you weigh?
Rider weight directly impacts daily range, hill climbing and how long your motor lasts under regular use.
Utility Path Β· Question 3 of 6
Do you need to carry anything on the scooter?
Cargo affects stability, motor strain and what accessories or frame type your scooter needs.
Utility Path Β· Question 4 of 6
Will you have reliable access to charging?
Charging access determines whether you need a large battery or can get away with a smaller one and charge mid-day.
Utility Path Β· Question 5 of 6
How hilly is your route?
Hills on a daily commute drain battery faster and put sustained load on motors. What feels manageable once a week is very different to twice a day, every day.
Utility Path Β· Question 6 of 6
How important is cost saving to you?
Electric scooters typically cost R0.50βR1.50 per full charge. We'll calculate your potential savings based on what you currently spend.
Almost there Β· Cost Estimate
Roughly what do you spend on transport each month?
Include petrol, taxi, bus, parking, Uber β whatever you currently spend to get around. A rough estimate is fine.
Almost there Β· Distance Check
How far do you travel in a typical week across all trips?
This helps us figure out whether a scooter can realistically cover your full routine or just part of it.
