CONT

Contrairement au scooter électrique à trois roues, le modèle [à] quatre roues est réputé pour son excellente stabilité, grâce à son très bon centre de gravité. Il convient parfaitement aux personnes de forte corpulence. Ce type de scooter électrique permet d'emprunter des routes accidentées ainsi que les chemins en pente raide ou ayant un peu de relief. Sur ce point, le scooter électrique à quatre roues est plus sécurisant que le modèle trois roues.

Key term(s)
