Afikim Afiscooter Solar 4-Wheel Recreational Scooter
The world's first solar-powered mobility scooter - charges while you ride, while you park, and while it sits in the driveway.
Built on Afikim's award-winning Afiscooter S platform with European safety engineering. An integrated photovoltaic canopy adds up to 30% charging capacity and roughly 6 km of free range per day without ever touching a wall outlet.

Why the Afikim Solar Recreational Scooter feels different
Most mobility scooters chain you to a wall outlet. The Afikim Solar Recreational Scooter sets you free - its built-in canopy quietly tops off the batteries every time the sun is out, so you ride farther, plug in less, and extend the life of your batteries along the way.
Solar canopy charges while you ride
An integrated photovoltaic panel adds up to 30% charging capacity and roughly 6 km of extra free range per day. It also extends battery lifespan by reducing depth of discharge on every ride.
Built on the European Afiscooter S platform
Afikim has been engineering scooters since 1978 to European safety standards. You get a heavy-duty frame, full LED lighting, dual rearview mirrors, and panic-sensor throttle protection.
Outdoor-ready 4-wheel stability
Wide pneumatic tyres, a 5" ground clearance, and a 1,400W rear-wheel-drive motor mean grass, gravel, pavements, and cobblestones aren't a problem.
Comfort that lasts all day
Orthopedic captain's seat with high backrest and flip-back armrests (20", 22", or 24" widths). Fully adjustable delta tiller with bright LCD display showing speed, miles, and battery level.
Is the Afikim Solar Recreational Scooter right for you?
This scooter is a strong fit if any of the following sound like you:
- You're tired of plugging in nightly and want a scooter that helps charge itself.
- You want a heavy-duty outdoor scooter that handles grass, gravel, and uneven terrain.
- You need long daily range - 58-61 km per charge before the solar boost kicks in.
- You live somewhere sunny - Florida, Arizona, a retirement community, a beach town, or rural property.
- You value European safety standards with full LED lighting and panic-sensor controls.
- You want a scooter that doubles as a weather canopy for sun, rain, and glare protection.

FAQ - Afikim Solar Recreational Scooter
How much extra range does the solar canopy actually add?The integrated photovoltaic canopy delivers up to 30% additional charging capacity, which translates to roughly 6 km (≈6 km) of extra free range per charge cycle. Over a year, that's hundreds of plug-free miles.
Does the solar canopy work on cloudy days?Yes - solar panels still generate power on overcast days, just less of it. The 30% figure assumes good sunlight; expect a reduced boost in cloudy or low-light conditions. The scooter also recharges via the standard 8-amp wall charger overnight, just like any other electric scooter.
How fast can it go?The standard top speed is 15 km/h. The optional motor upgrade bumps it to 18 km/h (18 km/h).
Can I use it on grass, gravel, or hills?Yes. With a 13 cm ground clearance, pneumatic tyres, and a 1,400W rear-wheel-drive motor, the Afikim Solar Recreational Scooter handles grass, packed dirt, gravel, pavements, and cobblestones. It climbs grades up to 20% (11°) at lower speeds and 15% (8°) at full speed.
Will it fit through doorways or in my home?The scooter is 27" wide with standard wheels (35" with golf tyres) and 61" long. It's designed primarily for outdoor use and is too large for most standard interior doorways. It also does not disassemble or fold for transport.
What seat widths are available?The orthopedic captain's seat is available in 20", 22", or 24" widths to comfortably fit a wide range of riders.
How is it delivered?FREE kerbside freight delivery is included - your scooter arrives on a pallet with batteries pre-installed and fully charged. Just cut the straps, attach the mirrors, and ride. Optional white-glove delivery is available for full setup at your home.
What customisations are available?Beyond colour, seat size, and motor speed (shown above), you can add extended 100 Ah batteries, golf tyres, left-hand throttle mount, in-home service contracts (1-5 years), white-glove delivery, and accessories like a phone holder, cup holder, cane and crutch holders, rear lock boxes, rain sides, weather covers, golf bag holder, and more.
