Kiwi 900ES Mobility Scooter

Kiwi 900ES Double-Seat Mobility Scooter

The Kiwi 900ES is a large double-seat mobility scooter, designed for two-person travel on suitable roads, paths and private-property routes. Its 300 kg maximum load, twin 75Ah batteries, 38.1 cm (15") tyres, hard canopy and tempered-glass windscreen create a substantial platform for users who specifically want to travel together rather than use separate scooters.

At approximately 198 cm long and 95 cm wide, the 900ES is considerably larger than a conventional single-seat mobility scooter. That extra size provides room for two occupants but also means storage space, turning room, access widths and delivery arrangements should be considered carefully before purchase.

Choosing Between the Kiwi 900ES and Kiwi 1400

The Kiwi 900ES is the two-person option in MoveSmart's current Kiwi range. The Kiwi 1400 is a heavy-duty single-seat model with a stronger 1400W platform, wider off-road tyres and hydraulic suspension for a single rider who prioritises rougher outdoor capability.

Choose the 900ES when carrying two compatible occupants is the main requirement. Choose the 1400 when one rider needs a more rugged single-seat heavy-duty scooter.

300 kg Combined Load Capacity

The scooter supports a maximum total load of 300 kg. That capacity applies to the complete carried load rather than each occupant individually, so the combined weight of both riders and any carried items must remain within the limit.

Because two-person seating changes weight distribution and handling, both occupants should be seated correctly before driving and the scooter should be trialled where possible before purchase.

Double Seat and Offset Steering

The wide bench-style double seat allows two occupants to sit side by side, while the offset steering position places the driver at one side of the scooter. This layout is quite different from a conventional centred single-seat mobility scooter and is one reason a hands-on trial is especially worthwhile.

Hard Canopy and Tempered-Glass Windscreen

A hard canopy and tempered-glass windscreen provide useful shelter from sun, wind and light weather. They do not turn the scooter into an enclosed vehicle, so clothing and driving decisions should still suit the conditions.

The canopy also contributes to the scooter's approximately 173.5 cm overall height, which matters when considering garages, sheds, covered entrances and transport clearances.

40 km Range and 12 km/h Speed

The Kiwi 900ES is listed with a travel range of approximately 40 km and a top speed of around 12 km/h. Two 12V 75Ah batteries provide the electrical system for longer community journeys.

Actual range will vary with the combined occupant load, terrain, gradients, tyre pressure, temperature, battery condition and driving style. Plan regular trips with a reasonable battery reserve rather than around the maximum stated distance.

Large Tyres, Hill Capability and Storage

The scooter uses 38.1 cm (15") tyres and is rated for inclines up to approximately 12° under suitable conditions. A large rear basket provides useful storage for everyday items.

As with any large scooter, hill safety depends on more than the headline angle: surface grip, combined rider weight, direction of travel and weather all matter.

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.
