- Weight Capacity: Higher capacity (350+ lbs) adds $500–$1,500. The frame is stronger made and normally it is big size of the whole scooter, and more comfortable for bigger riders.
- Battery & Range: Lithium-ion (vs lead-acid) adds $300–$800; 25+ mile range adds $400–$1,000. The lithium battery cost is much higher and normally it is with bigger capacity for longer distance. and pls look up the difference between lithium battery and lead acid battery here.
- Portability: Foldable/airline-approved models cost $200–$500 more than non-foldable. The foldable structure is more complicated cost more to make. Airline approved model is normally with light weight aluminum material, foldable and portable.
- Suspension & Tires: All-terrain tires + full suspension add $300–$800.
- Brand & Warranty: Premium brands (Pride, Golden Technologies) command 20–40% premiums; 2–5 year warranties add $200–$600. You pay for what your get. For the big popular brand, the quality wont be bad, and the price is more fair. Anyway, not all functions you will need, so sometimes the basic functions are enough for your daily use, not need to pay extra to buy a higher price for some functions not so much needed.
