"Not confirmed" means the manufacturer's page lists two different numbers. "Not listed" means the manufacturer's page gives no number. The full table adds scooter weight, top speed and suspension.

The max load in the manufacturer's manual is the limit for the rider and everything carried. The manufacturer's product page and owner's manual govern where they differ from this page. Some manufacturers word the rating as max rider weight or payload.
