Another thing to think about is how a pavement scooter will handle the kerbs and gradients. A pavement scooter can usually handle only 12 degrees of gradient which is sufficient for the majority of people. However If you live in a place with steep hills or an area that is too steep for a road-scooter, then a class 2 model that has off-road capability may be the best option.
Another factor to consider is the way a pavement scooter is disassembled for transportation. Many models can fold to make them easier to transport. They can be broken down into smaller pieces to fit into the boot of your car. Certain models have a removable battery that allows you to remove it from the frame and save space. This is especially useful if you plan to take the scooter on a trip or for a weekend away.

It is important to park your scooter or stop it in designated areas so that you do not cause dangers or block pedestrian paths.
