Carry power upstairs—without the struggle
Balanced ~24–25 kg, compact fold, and real-world stability that make daily stair runs doable.*
Want torque for hills and comfort on rough pavement—without dreading the stairs? Here’s how to get dual-motor performance and easy carries, plus what to check before you buy and how to store it by the door.
Typical unit weight: ~54 lb (≈24.5 kg).
Why indoor carries feel harder than the scale says
It’s 7:50 a.m. You’re in the stairwell with a grocery bag and a scooter that handles like a kettlebell on wheels. Your grip slides on the stem clamp, the deck taps your shin, and you’re late—again. Outside, it rides great. Inside, it’s a wrestling match.
Here’s the catch: lifting 24–25 kg awkwardly can feel 30–40% heavier than lifting the same weight with a centered, stable grip. Portability isn’t just mass—it’s manageability.
What riders say
- I went from two rest stops per flight to none. The deck grip and short frame make it feel lighter.
- Dual motors for the hills, and it actually fits my hallway—no more scooter Tetris.
Meet your guide
We get it. Too heavy or awkward is about leverage, grip, and balance on tight stairs—not your strength.
The Mercane Wide Wheel Pro pairs dual 500 W motors, front & rear suspension, and dual disc brakes with extra-wide 8 × ~3.9 in foam-filled tires for a planted, flat-proof commute.
- Top speed: ~26 mph | Range: up to ~30 miles
- Never-flat tires: low-maintenance, no tubes
- Stable chassis: short wheelbase + wide, grippy deck for confident handling—and steadier carries indoors
- Weight: ~54 lb (≈24.5 kg) that feels balanced when lifted at the stem and supported under the deck

The plan: 3 quick steps
Step 1 — Pick balanced power. Choose the Wide Wheel Pro for compact geometry and balanced ~24–25 kg so the lift point sits close to your body. Grip the stem near the clamp; keep the deck against your leg to reduce swing.
Step 2 — Set up for stair-carry. We help you dial the folding latch, cable clearance, and deck grip so your hands land where they should. Adjust latch tension and confirm the folded length fits your stair turns and hallway spot.
Step 3 — Store smart, live easy. Claim a hallway or entry niche with a vertical wall hook or slim floor stand; protect floors and charge on a schedule. Park in 10 seconds, charge overnight, roll out clutter-free.
Proof & objections
Case snapshot
Before: Jamie (San Francisco, 5th-floor walk-up) loved dual-motor scooters but dreaded the stairs.
After (2 weeks): With the Wide Wheel Pro, Jamie uses a two-hand carry (stem + deck rail) and a hallway wall hook. Time from lobby to door dropped from 4:10 to 2:45—with zero shin knocks and fewer mid-stair breaks. Commute stress: halved.
Objections, answered
- 54 lb is still a lot. True—but the short wheelbase and wide deck grip zone cut the swing that makes lighter scooters feel heavier. Most riders find the centered lift easier flight-to-flight than longer, tippy frames.
- Solid tires ride harsh. These are foam-filled, ~3.9-in wide tires with front & rear suspension. You stay planted on broken pavement—and flat-proof. See our tire comfort explainer.
- Will it stall on my hill? Dual 500 W motors (peaks higher) plus front & rear discs deliver confident starts and controlled stops on grades. Heavier riders (190–260 lb) pick it for no-stall launches and predictable braking.
- Is hallway storage a headache? The compact fold tucks close. Add a vertical hook or slim stand and a drip tray for rainy days—apartment-friendly and fast to park.
- Maintenance worries me. Never-flat tires mean no tubes, no punctures. Routine checks are simple; brake pads are standard; suspension reduces rattle fatigue on hardware.
Risk reversal: Try it with support. We include a live onboarding call and stock easy spares. Warranty and returns are straightforward—reach out for details.
Success vs. failure
If you say yes (Success):
- Carry stairs in 2–3 minutes without shin hits or grip slips.
- No flats, fewer shop visits—more rides you actually take.
- Calmer commute on broken pavement; hands and feet stay fresher.
- Apartment-friendly setup: park by the door, charge neatly, no clutter.
- Identity boost: You’re the person who tames the hills—and the stairs.
If you wait (Failure):
- The morning wrestling match continues—late starts and scuffed walls.
- Flats or harsh rides sap your will to ride.
- The hallway stays crowded; your scooter collects dust.
Deep dive: carry an e-scooter upstairs
- Measure your stair turns: folded length vs. landing width.
- Choose your grip: dominant hand on stem clamp; off-hand under deck rail.
- Stabilize the deck: rest it lightly against your leg to stop pendulum swing.
- Take short, even steps: one tread at a time; pause at landings.
- Store smart: wall hook at shoulder height or stand near an outlet; add a mat.
- Charge rhythm: plug in after dinner; unplug before work (8–9 hrs typical).
- Routine checks: brake levers, latch tension, pad wear, lights.
