Explore our top 5 high-capacity scooters for 2026. Starting from a 25 stone carry capacity and going up from there, these rides make high mobility, and high performance, more accessible than ever before. This blog compares 5 scooters with high maximum user weights, from various parts of our stock list, for your consideration. Let’s start off with this product specification comparison table.
Class Considerations
Straight off the bat, the TGA Zest S (pictured to the left) stands out for a relatively low score. However, this is far from the whole picture. Why is this? Well, the Zest S is a take-down scooter with pavement-going capacities, making that 26.5-stone weight capacity something of a best-in-class!
Hence the excellent turning circle on this scooter relative to the others. Naturally though, some users may want to be a bit more adventurous in their travels. That said, with pneumatic tyres, full suspension, and a solid double-figure maximum range, the Zest S is no slouch in that department. Still, let’s take a look at one of the big beasts of the above table. It’s the aptly-named 8mph Drive King Cobra. This, unlike the Zest S, but in common with the other mobility scooters to be explored in this article, is a Class 3 mobility vehicle. Because it is Class 3-designated, it is deemed road-legal.
As you can see from the below image, the King Cobra has some serious style. And, with a 32-stone user weight capacity, that style is available to more users than most scooters can accommodate. That 1300 Watt motor packs a serious punch as well, so it performs the way it looks.
Ruggedly Reliable
VanOs and Kymco are two manufacturers with a deserved reputation for producing mobility scooters which can be relied upon to perform for their users, over and over. The Maxer ER (shown to the left) and the Excel Audax (shown to the right) add a bit of style into the equation also. The Audax has an impressively narrow turning circle, especially for an 8mph product which can carry over 28 stone. Whereas the Maxer ER offers an impressive range, being capable of exceeding 40 miles per charge when conditions are correct.
The Audax has some other luxurious features, such as keyless ignition and USB/USB-C charging ports in the tiller – marking it as a scooter fit for 2026. Meanwhile, the Maxer ER is kitted out well for on-road use, as any true Class 3 scooter should be. What features does this mean you get for your money? A genuine automotive horn, a dashboard with a service interval reminders, and oil-dampened suspension, to name but three.
Finishing off in Style
Lastly, we have the Motion Healthcare Xcursion for your consideration. As with all Motion scooters, the Xcursion boasts an inimitable style, though, in terms of bariatric credentials, it is more a borderline case, with a maximum user weight of 25.2 stone. At the end of the day, one thing should be clear. There’s a great deal of variation to take into account when making choices even within a weight class.
