The short answer

All three are single-seat cabins with doors. The biggest differences are how you steer, how easy it is to get in and how long they take to charge. Sit in the ones you like before you decide. Fit matters more than any feature on this page.

  • Want a steering wheel and a swivel seat? The Enza is the only one of the three that lists both, plus the highest weight capacity (600 lb). It's on pre-order.
  • Want the longest listed range? The Gio Golf lists 80 km per charge.
  • Want cabin heat, a backup camera and keyless entry? The Nova Lite lists all three.

Side by side

Everything below comes from each product page. Price and availability update on their own. Where a page doesn't list something, the table says so, so you know what to ask.

Listed range is a best case. Rider weight, hills, cold and speed all shorten it, so plan your usual round trip with room to spare.

Who each one suits

There's no single best cabin. Start with the person who'll drive it and the trips they take most.

Before you decide

Sit in it. Fit beats features.

A spec sheet can't tell you whether your knees clear the dash, or whether the handlebar sits too close. Taller and larger riders tell us this matters more than anything else on the list.

Sit in each cabin you're considering, wearing the shoes and coat you'd normally wear. If you're choosing for someone else, bring them. Here's what to check.

Side view of an enclosed mobility scooter with its door open, marking seven things to check: door opening, step-in height, seat, controls, view out, storage and charging 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
  1. Door opening. How wide it opens, and whether it swings clear of a wall or car beside it.
  2. Step-in height. Get in and out three times. The third time tells you more than the first.
  3. Seat. Height, cushion, and whether it swivels to face the door.
  4. Controls and display. Can they reach, read and press everything without leaning?
  5. View out. Check the mirrors and the backup camera if the model lists one.
  6. Storage. Bring the bag, cane or walker they carry and see where it goes.
  7. Charging. Where the cord plugs in, and how far that is from your outlet.

Range, charging and batteries

  • Listed range is a best case. A heavier load, hills, cold and higher speeds all shorten it. Compare your usual round trip with the listed figure and leave room to spare.
  • Charging is usually overnight. The Nova Lite lists 8–10 hours and the Enza 4–6 hours. Ask us what the charger needs, and check there's a suitable outlet within reach of where it will park.
  • Batteries wear out. Like any rechargeable battery, these lose capacity with age and use and eventually need replacing. Plan for it as part of owning one. We stock replacement batteries and chargers, and Ride Guard offers a 12-month battery coverage add-on.

Before you choose: a checklist

Print it and take it to the showroom.

  1. Check your local rules Confirm with your municipality or provincial transportation authority before you buy.
  2. Sit in it Knees, headroom, reach to the controls, and how close the steering sits.
  3. Get in and out three times Watch the step-in height and how wide the door opens.
  4. Measure where it will park The gate or garage door it has to pass through, and the path to it.
  5. Find the outlet Where it will charge overnight, and how far the cord has to reach.
  6. Bring what you carry A walker, cane or shopping bags, to see where they fit.
  7. Read the warranty Ask what's covered for the way you plan to use it.
  8. Plan for the battery Ask about replacement batteries and Ride Guard battery coverage.

Questions we get asked

Do I need a licence or insurance?
That depends on the model and where you live, so we can't answer it for you. Confirm with your municipality or provincial transportation authority before you buy. Check your local rules first.
How far will it really go on a charge?
The product pages list 60 km for the Nova Lite, 80 km for the Gio Golf and 50–90 km for the Enza, depending on its battery. Those are best-case figures. A heavier load, hills, cold and speed all shorten real range.
Will I fit if I'm tall?
Taller riders tell us legroom and knee room matter more than any spec. Sit in one before you decide, or call us and we'll talk through each cabin.
Can I see them in person?
Yes. Call ahead to ask which models are on display at the showroom nearest you. Find a showroom.
How does the Enza pre-order work?
The Enza is listed for October. Call us to reserve, confirm timing and check which battery your order will have. Read our return policy before you pre-order.
Can you deliver it?
We ship across Canada, with white-glove options arranged by our team. Call us for timing to your address.
Can I pay monthly?
Financing is available and all credit types are welcome to apply. See financing.
Are there other enclosed models?
Yes, including the Eclipse EV Explorer and the ET4 Cruise Connect. Both list a heater, and A/C is standard on the Explorer and optional on the ET4. See all enclosed scooters.
