Many electric scooter owners don't use their scooters year 'round, but our long term test tells a different story. Your electric scooter can do far more than you think!
Towing the Sled
|
|
|
|
After 1 km on a trail covered with snow, we arrive at the hill for sledding. Johanna disconnects her sled from the electric scooter.

Visiting a customer in Gaswerkgasse
|
|
|
|
To a customer with a big parking lot, I would have driven at this weather with the car. But at the lack of parking lots around the Gaswerkgasse.
|
Parking lot at entrance
|
|
|
|
Everyone loves to find a parking space right by the main entrance, especially in winter. You can every time with an electric scooter!
|
Winter tires for scooters
|
|
|
|
Just like on my first long term E-MaxS scooter test I'm once again using Urban Master Snow Tires. Today's drive is on main streets in snow,
|
Tracks in snow
|
|
|
|
After it was possible to drive on the trail covered with snow, the hill for sledging showed the border; 2 tries to drive up the hill fail.
|
Schranne in snow
|
|
|
|
How has a heavy traffic jam allergy will also not drive at snow with the car in the city. 35 kg purchases are distributed 20 kg in front, 10 kg in the backpack, 5 kg in the topcase.

Glan brook looked on satellite photo like a street
|
|
|
|
I searched January 2007 a street from Gartenau to Piding. The satellite photo showed a snowy landscape and a black line.
|
Snow up to the floor slab
|
|
|
|
It snows in the morning. I test at a way in the wood, where I pulled 3 years ago childten with sledges. But the snow is to deep. Also without sledge difficult to drive.
|
Child pleasure
|
|
|
|
Because of the deep snow in the wood, only some rounds in the Ice-Lake-Street are possible. Maria has a visit from a school girl friend, who also comes with the sledge.
|
Always with tow-rope in winter
|
|
|
|
To tow sledges or ski. Out of this reason, I have in winter a rope always in the top case of my electric scooter.
|
Electric scooter as ascension-aid
|
|
|
|
This are only 15% uphill, but when the rear wheel digs in the snow, nothing more is possible. Here I try to pull Johanna up a way in the wood.
|
Skijoring with an electric scooter
|
|
|
|
At an other a little bit less steep way in the wood, it was nearly without problems. At the following downhill, Johanna wants to drive in front.
|
Return from skijoring
|
|
|
|
Johanna would like to drive one more time, but to hold the electric scooter on the narrow tread out track is very laboringly. Her small ski can be easy transported.
|
Going home on side streets
|
|
|
|
After even the main street ''Alpenstraße'' was covered with snow, I drive home on few used side streets. In the Hellbrunner Allee, I met only one bicycle driver and one film team.
|
Snow poles disturb
|
|
|
|
New skijoring idea: I on a way without snow, Johanna on the meadow. But I had at this idea locked over all the snow poles beside the street.
|
Attention! Animals crossing
|
|
|
|
A rabbit went over the street, a hart at the border of the street stared on me, a deer crossed the street immediately behind my electric scooter, all in some minutes.
