Drive ZooMe Auto-Flex

No. 6 · Our pick here

Best for riders who want the scooter to fold itself, with a 300 lb rating and 13 miles of range.

+ 300 lb capacity
+ 13 mi range
+ 55 lb heaviest piece
+ Auto-folding (remote)

8.8/10Very good

Fully electronic fold and unfold by key fob, 15 seconds or less (Drive)
300 lb capacity and up to 13 miles of range
Limited lifetime frame warranty, 24 months on electronics, 12 months on batteries

The catch: At $2,824 it costs $629 more than the Journey So Lite, and Drive lists the heaviest piece at 55 lb (60 lb total), so the remote saves your back the folding, not the lifting. Ground clearance is 1.6 inches: approach thresholds straight on.
