AMW Explorer Mobility Scooter
The AMW Explorer Scooter is a practical everyday mobility scooter for riders who mainly travel on footpaths, shopping areas and gentler outdoor terrain. It pairs a 400W motor with 25.4 cm (10") pneumatic tyres, full suspension and two 45Ah batteries, giving it more comfort and range than a compact travel scooter without the bulk of AMW's larger terrain models.
With a maximum user capacity of 110 kg, up to 8 km/h top speed and a typical range of around 25–30 km, the Explorer is well suited to regular local trips, shopping and community mobility where easy everyday use matters more than maximum off-road performance.
A Good Entry Point into Full-Size Scooters
The Explorer sits below the Discovery in AMW's outdoor scooter range. Its 400W motor and 25.4 cm (10") tyres are well matched to sealed paths, paved areas and moderate outdoor surfaces, while the full suspension helps smooth out joins, broken paving and small bumps.
For riders who do not need the 800W motor, 30.5 cm (12") tyres or higher 160 kg capacity of the Discovery, the Explorer can offer a simpler and more affordable route into a full-size mobility scooter.
Generous Battery Capacity for Its Size
Two 45Ah 12V batteries give the Explorer a useful amount of stored energy for an everyday scooter of this size. Range is around 25–30 km in suitable conditions, although real-world distance changes with hills, rider weight, tyre pressure, temperature, battery condition and driving style.
Keeping the tyres correctly inflated and charging the batteries regularly helps maintain predictable performance.
Comfortable Adjustable Seating
The seat can be adjusted forward and back, raised or lowered, swivelled for easier access and adjusted through the backrest. That allows the scooter to be set up more closely to the rider rather than forcing one fixed seating position.
The swivel seat can also make it easier to get on and off the scooter by allowing the seat to turn toward the side.

Who Is the AMW Explorer Best Suited To?
The Explorer is a strong choice for someone who wants a comfortable, conventional mobility scooter for daily local travel and does not need a heavy-terrain platform. It gives you suspension, pneumatic tyres, an adjustable seat and substantial batteries in a relatively straightforward package.
If regular routes include rougher gravel, larger bumps, steeper areas or the rider needs a higher user capacity, the Discovery is the logical next comparison.

Is this mobility scooter available for delivery across New Zealand?
We can and do deliver to customers across New Zealand — however, mobility scooters and power chairs are more complex products and can be sizeable, so we generally recommend finding a local retailer who can provide hands-on service and ongoing support. It is also a good idea to test-drive or trial a mobility scooter before committing to a purchase. MoveSmart focuses its sales and servicing within the Central Plateau region, but we are always happy to chat. Get in touch and we can offer advice, suggest a trusted dealer closer to you, or work with you to tailor a solution.
