Travel Scooter
Travel scooters have been designed to be extremely lightweight. Some fold down, while others break into multiple easy-to-handle pieces.
Our lightweight mobility scooters can ascend an 8% incline and traverse cobblestone streets. The front tires are wider to give better performance in rough terrain. Some models even come with a rear-mounted hitch that can be used for carrying baskets or boxes.
Lightweight
The light structure of travel scooters makes them simple to lift and transport. They are perfect for those who need to travel by car or plane. They can be easily stowed in the trunk of a car or checked as baggage on planes.
Our ultra-lightweight scooters use TIG-welded, heat-treated, aircraft-grade 7005 aluminum for frames and other components. This type of welding produces welds that are stronger, more durable and more pleasing to the eye than the common MIG welds found in virtually every other mobility scooter made today. As a result, the frame of our lightweight scooter weighs less than half of the weight of the competition. This lets you carry your scooter over longer distances or over more difficult terrain.
In addition our scooters are designed with the rider's weight placed over the drive wheel. This reduces the tendency of front-wheel drive scooters to spin around on uneven surfaces or inclines. This results in a smoother ride and a significant reduction in the costly repairs associated with front-wheel damage.
Another benefit of our ultra-light mobility scooters is their solid rubber tires. These tires are much more durable than pneumatic (air) tires found on the majority of scooters and are easier to maneuver over rough or unpaved roads. Solid rubber tires are quieter than pneumatics, and they don't stick to obstacles.
It is important to consider the total weight of a mobility scooter including the battery when selecting the right one for your needs. Use our filters at top of the page to sort products by specifications, for example "heaviest pieces" which specifies combined weight of the chair and battery pack.
Our scooters are powered by the latest lithium-ion batteries which are extremely compact and light. The scooters also feature an extremely high-impact, flame-rated case with an UL944-5VB flame rating. These batteries are made of 100% Panasonic cells and are designed to last for a long time. The batteries can be easily removed for transport or to facilitate storage should it be required.
Easy to Fold
Travel scooters fold down easily and can be tucked away in the trunk of your van, car or SUV. They can even be disassembled into smaller pieces for easier transport. This makes them suitable for travel on planes, where IATA luggage restrictions on suitcase dimensions apply. You can also purchase a scooter case that is specifically designed to protect your mobility scooter from scratches and moisture during transit.
When you're not using it, you can easily keep your scooter in your garage, basement or attic. If these areas aren't accessible an attic or closet bedroom could be a good alternative. It's important to choose an area that is dry and protected away from direct sunlight, to prevent the sun's rays from destroying the rubber and plastic components and causing rust.
Based on the model you select, the scooter may include a basket or box to aid you in your shopping requirements. You can also put the luggage hitch on the frame and pull it behind you while riding.
These scooters are compact and light, so they can be easily transported anywhere. Even in a bustling city such as San Francisco. They can be used to enjoy an easy stroll in the park, or spend an afternoon shopping or exploring a new destination that you've always wanted to visit.
It's a good idea to look at the weights of different models when you are shopping for the best scooter. This will help you determine which one is the best fit for you. When selecting a scooter you must also take into consideration the battery's capacity as well as its lifespan.
If you are seeking a scooter that is easy to store you should look for models that fold, or swiftly disassemble into several smaller parts. Some scooters fold with the push of a single button, while others require you to take off the seat and manually collapse it.
If you plan to store your scooter it is an excellent idea to spray an anti-rust or corrosion inhibitor on it. This is especially crucial in areas that are prone to humidity. Avoid storing your scooter at extreme temperatures. Temperatures that are too high can harm the battery, and low temperatures can cause it break down.
Simple to Operate
With a travel scooter, you have all the features of a normal mobility scooter in a compact. The controls are easy to operate, and you can adjust the tiller so that you can place it in the most comfortable position for you. Many of the models we offer have long-lasting batteries, as well as an easy-to-use battery monitor.
We recommend storing your scooter in a climate controlled area because extreme temperatures can alter the performance and longevity of lithium batteries. Keep your scooter near a power supply to ensure optimal charging.
electric mobility is important to keep your mobility scooter clean, because dust can increase friction between moving parts and potentially damage internal electrical components. If you don't wish to store your scooter in a garage or shed, you can get an outdoor storage cover that protects it from rain and sunlight. Some of these covers incorporate security enhancements like locks to deter theft.
If you're ready to ride again, make sure to give your scooter a thorough inspection before you leave the house. Look for signs of excessive wear and tear or damage such as a broken handlebar, broken lights or even missing controls or tires. This will ensure that your mobility device is in good condition and will continue to keep you going for many years.
If you want to carry more luggage on your travel scooter, we offer numerous accessories that will aid you in that. Our Smart Luggage Kit comes with the ability to carry a carrier system that allows you to connect two smaller suitcases as well as a cabin-sized suitcase to the back of your travel scooter. We also recommend two-wheel luggage because they are small and save you valuable storage space. Additionally, two-wheel suitcases comply with IATA air-travel regulations regarding maximum suitcase dimensions. You can therefore travel with your scooter packed to the brim without paying additional baggage charges. Our travel scooters are a great option for vacationers as well as frequent travelers.
Easy to store
mobility scooters electric break into small and lightweight pieces that are easy to transport in your vehicle. They can easily fit in the trunk of a car, or at your side while on trains or buses or even in an airplane for long trips. These lightweight scooters come 95% pre-assembled which makes them simple to assemble on arrival at their destination.
Some models come with a carrying bag or case for ease of transportation and use. They come with straps and handles that make it easier to carry the scooter over your shoulder or arm, without straining your neck or back. This is particularly helpful for those who need to move your scooter between public transportation modes or between different vehicles for local transportation.
Almost all travel scooters come with a seat assembly that is removable and can be stored beneath the chassis or directly in the front of the feet of the user when not in use. This allows the scooter to be stored in smaller spaces and is more compact. It also gives users access to additional features, such as an in-front caddy or basket.
Another great feature of most travel scooters is their shorter turning radius, which helps to navigate narrow spaces such as doors in apartments and homes. Some even come with front wheel suspensions that gives extra stability when driving over uneven or rough terrain.
It is crucial to your health and safety to keep your travel scooter safe, dry, and clean while in transit. Be sure to keep it covered or tarp-covered at all times and keep it from being exposed to extreme weather conditions since this could reduce the battery's life and impact the condition of the frame and components.
Lastly, when purchasing your travel scooter, make sure to inquire with your airline regarding their specific rules and regulations regarding the use of mobility scooters aboard. Many airlines will allow them with a special approval, or in checked luggage, but you may need to present the manufacturer's certificate and documentation that shows that the batteries meet their specifications. Certain airlines also have limitations on the kind and size of battery that you can bring with you, so it is recommended to research their guidelines and rules before you fly.
