A Look at the EW 46
An average mobility device will get you where you are going, but what about speed capabilities and overall performance? With the EW 46, high performance and advanced speed capabilities is all a part of the package. A top speed of 13 mph and a range of up to 35 miles (as per manufacturer specs) allow you to enjoy the ride without considering how much power your device has left. Although you may not have to think about it, an LCD display dash gives you an easy-to-read power indicator along with various other user friendly features. The EW 46 is also not average when it comes to weight capacity. This device offers a substantially comfortable captain’s chair that offers plenty of adjustability and a full weight capacity of 400lbs. The heavy-duty format of the EW 46 is based on a 4 wheel system that optimizes stability and overall strength of the mobility device. With the EW 46 riders can drive during the day or night with a high and low beam headlight system. A full lighting package with turn signals and hazard lights offer further assistance in dim lit areas and at night. For added safety, the EW 46 comes equipped with a comprehensive security system and alarm all controlled from a convenient key fob.Multiple Speed Options
Most mobility devices have a nominal rate of speed. However, the goal of the EW 46 is not just to be an adequate mode of transportation, but a fun, exciting way to get where you need to be. With a top speed of 13mph, speed is certainly no problem, but the EW 46 also accommodates those who choose to take things a bit slower. Multiple speed options are controlled by a speed regulator located on the device’s tiller. Choose from slow, medium, or full speed.More Capable on Various Terrains
The EW 46 is rated for most terrains. The 16” tires on the device offer substantial grip on smooth or uneven ground. Spring suspension on both the front and rear of the device enable the rider to remain comfortable without bouncing around when the road gets a little rough. With the EW 46 you can enjoy the ride and get more accomplished during your busy day. Enhanced mobility is what the EW 46 was made for.Does the EW 46 Come Assembled?
Yes, this device arrives assembled from the factory. The owner will have to remove the key, power charger, and other attachments from the rear basket and unlock the storage beneath the seat to access the main power switch. Once that switch is thrown, the device is ready to go. The EW 46 comes fully charged and ready for action.Specifications

How fast does the EWheels EW-46 go?
At full speed, you can reach 13 mph.
EWheels are known for being the fastest on the mobility scooter market and this is their strongest selling point.
How long do the EWheels EW-46 batteries last per charge? How many years of use can I get out of the batteries?
Battery running time per charge is measured in miles as opposed to time i.e. how many miles can a fully charged set of batteries take the scooter?
The answer depends on the user’s weight as well as the kind of terrain the scooter is operated upon.
Please take these manufacturer figures with a grain of salt, bearing in mind manufacturers may test their scooters in optimum conditions you won’t find in real life.
For a EWheels EW-46 mobility scooter, the batteries last: 35 miles.
The lifetime of your EWheels EW-46 batteries is approximately 2 years, but very much depends on how much you use your scooter and whether you take good care of your batteries.
The cost of replacing a set of EWheels EW-46 batteries is approximately $239
What kind of batteries are used in the EWheels EW-46?
This mobility scooter uses sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries. These batteries are maintenance free, meaning you don’t need to add water to them or anything like that.
They happily stay under their shroud for the duration of their lifetime and you shouldn’t need to do anything to them at all.
Lithium-ion batteries are not used, primarily due to cost. With batteries expiring after 2-3 years, the cost of replacing lithium batteries for a machine this size would run into several thousand dollars, vs. gel-cell which is more around the $500 mark.
Will the EWheels EW-46 seat fit me?
This scooter’s seat width is 18”.
This is a great seat size for most people and is more generous than most standard/travel mobility scooters.
If in doubt, we recommend measuring a chair in your house that you're comfortable on, to compare sizes.
How much weight can the EWheels EW-46 carry?
What kind of ground clearance does the EWheels EW-46 have? Is it good for paths and trails?
The EWheels EW-46 has 4.5 inches of ground clearance. It will cope on grass, gravel and dirt paths, but there are other mobility scooters which would perform better in this area.

Why are there such long lead times on some mobility scooters?
My EWheels EW-46 mobility scooter is showing a long lead time above. Why should I buy a scooter now if in any case I won’t get it right away?
Unfortunately, the way things are nowadays, with delays across the entire supply chain, if you wait until there is no lead time on your scooter, you might end up waiting forever. As soon as new stock comes in, it is assigned to orders that were already placed, sometimes weeks in advance. We don’t know how soon the situation will get better - and it may actually get worse before getting better again.
For this reason, customers are placing their orders as soon as they are able, to be placed on the list for as soon as the next scooters are ready to ship.

Daily Operation & Transportation
Daily Operation
I only have use of my left hand. Can the EWheels EW-46 mobility scooter work for left handed users? Can the EWheels EW-46 mobility scooter be operated with one hand?
This scooter’s throttle/accelerator lever can be placed either on the right or left side. Please ask us for this modification before ordering.
With a scooter that has automatic braking which kicks in as soon as you let go of the throttle, you only need one hand to activate the accelerator, drive and stop.
It is also possible to steer the scooter with the same hand you’re using for the throttle lever, though this is a slightly harder way to drive.
Can I ride the EWheels EW-46 mobility scooter in the rain, snow, wind and hot sun?
- Rain: It’s OK and safe if you get caught in the rain once in a while, or go through an occasional puddle, but you should try to avoid a trip if you know it’s going to rain.
- Snow and ice: We cannot take responsibility for using the scooter in these kinds of weather conditions.
- Cold weather: Fine, though it does negatively impact the battery health and lifetime.
- Wind: Generally not an issue unless very strong winds that could tip the scooter over. If you have a mobility scooter with a canopy, remember, very strong winds can act as a sail to tip over your scooter.
- Hot sun: No issue as far as the scooter is concerned. Remember to take along ample hydration!
Do the EWheels EW-46 mobility scooter batteries need maintenance?
This mobility scooter uses maintenance-free batteries which do not need any care until they die, after around 2 years of use.
How often should my EWheels EW-46 mobility scooter be inspected?
It’s a good idea to have your scooter checked once a year by a qualified technician.
Call us 1-888-233-5563 to get details on a local technician in your area.
You should also call us or a local tech if you hear strange noises coming out of your scooter.
Transportation
Will the EWheels EW-46 mobility scooter fit in my car trunk/truck bed?
This scooter will not fit in the vast majority of car trunks. It will however fit on most pickup truck beds.
If you’re planning on transporting your mobility scooter on a pickup truck bed, you’ll probably need a ramp to get the scooter up onto the truck bed.
Please contact us for more details at
I don’t have a large enough vehicle to transport the EWheels EW-46 mobility scooter. What are my options?
- Electric lift: The most common solution is to purchase a platform-style vehicle lift, which sits on your trailer hitch.
If you don’t have a trailer hitch on your vehicle, you’ll need to have one installed. The platform lowers right down to road level, you ride the scooter onto the platform, secure the scooter with provided straps and then activate a lift which raises the platform a few feet off the ground. You’ll need a vehicle that can take a max tongue weight of at least 500 lbs, so this won’t work for saloon and hatchback vehicles.
Explore our electric lifts collection.
- Manual Platform: Like an electric lift, this has a platform which sits on your trailer hitch, but this platform does not rise and decened, instead, it has a built-in ramp which flips out, allowing you to roll the scooter up onto the platform.
You’ll need a vehicle that can take a max tongue weight of at least 500 lbs, so this won’t work for saloon and hatchback vehicles.
Explore our collection of manual platforms.
- Scooter trailer: This is a full-fledged trailer on its own wheels, which attaches to your trailer hitch.
There is just one company that designs and produces a trailer specifically for mobility scooters, or you can just get any generic trailer whose specifications match the S4 in terms of weight and dimensions.
