8.5/10Very good

EV Rider Transport AF+

No. 13

Best for lighter riders who want a remote fold at the lowest weight: 49 lb, and the tightest turn here.

  • + 250 lb capacity
  • + 8 mi range
  • + 49 lb heaviest piece
  • + Auto-folding (remote)
7.8/10Fair
  • Folds and unfolds by remote in under 10 seconds (EV Rider)
  • 49 lb with the battery, the lightest auto-folding scooter here
  • 31-inch turning radius, the tightest we compared

The catch: EV Rider rates it for 250 lb and recommends a maximum climbing angle of 3 degrees, so ramps and hills are a real limit. Its 15-inch-wide, 12-inch-deep seat is small. And the warranty link on EV Rider's product page led to a missing page when we checked on November 12, 2026, which scores low in our formula: ask the seller for the warranty in writing.
