Our verdict
The E-Move 8 is an affordable and comfortable road scooter. The scooter comes with a captain seat and can be dismantled into four lighter components, creating a convenient solution for its users.
If you require a road scooter with an adjustable seat, the Sunrise Medical Sterling S425 Mobility Scooter offers more customisation options to optimise your comfort. The seat has an adjustable height, depth and recline, while the armrest has an adjustable width, depth and angle. Although some users might benefit from the adjustable seat, the S425 is heavier than the E-Move 8. Users looking for a comfortable seat would be best suited for the S425, while users who prefer a lighter scooter could opt for the E-Move 8.
The Motion Healthcare XCite mobility scooter is another cost-effective 8 mph road scooter with a longer range of 25 miles, or 45 miles with the optional lithium battery. Designed with 33 cm wheels and a ground clearance of 14 cm, the XCite provides greater outdoor performance when compared to the E-Move 8. Its 5-year warranty covers repairs on the scooter for an extensive period which some users might prioritise when choosing a scooter. While the XCite is slightly costlier than the E-Move, its powerful outdoor performance, range and warranty period are advantageous for users with a larger budget.
When compared to other 8 mph scooters, the E-Move 8 has a distinguishing balance of design, comfort and affordability. The E-Move is best for users looking for a well-rounded solution for road trips and outdoor activities.
