Travel Scooter
Travel scooters are designed to be extremely portable. Some fold, while others are disassembled into multiple easy-to-handle pieces.
Our mobility scooters that are lightweight can ascend an 8% incline and traverse cobblestone streets. They also come with wider front tires for better performance on rough terrain. Some models have a hitch mounted at the rear to carry boxes or baskets.
Lightweight
The light-weight structure of travel scooters makes them simple to lift and transport. This is why they are ideal for anyone who needs to travel by car or airplane. They can easily be tucked away in the trunk of a vehicle or checked as baggage on planes.
Our ultra-lightweight Scooters make use of TIG-welded 7005 aircraft-grade aluminum that has been heat-treated for the frames and other components. This type of welding creates stronger, cleaner welds and are more attractive compared to the common MIG welds that are commonly found in mobility scooters today. The frame of our lightweight mobility scooter weighs half as much as the competition. This allows you to transport your scooter for longer distances or on more difficult terrains.
Additionally our scooters are constructed with the rider's weight placed over the drive wheel. This reduces the tendency of front-wheel-driven scooters to spin on uneven or sloped surfaces. This results in a smoother ride, and a substantial decrease in costly repairs due to front-wheel damage.
amazon electric mobility scooters are a further advantage of our ultralightweight mobility scooters. They are more durable than pneumatic tires (air) that are found on many scooters, and are easier to maneuver over rough or unpaved roads. Solid rubber tires are quieter than pneumatics and don't stick to obstacles.
It is important to consider the total weight of a mobility scooter including the battery when deciding on the best one for your requirements. Use our filters at the top of the page to filter products by specifications, for example "heaviest pieces" which defines the combined weight of chair and battery pack.
Our scooters are powered by the modern lithium-ion batteries that are extremely compact and lightweight. They also come with a high-impact case that has a UL 94-5VB flame rating to ensure your safety. These batteries are built to last and are constructed entirely of Panasonic cells. They can be easily disassembled to facilitate transport or storage.
Easy to Fold
Travel scooters can fold into a compact size to fit inside the trunk of your car or SUV. They can also be broken into smaller pieces, making moving them much simpler. This makes them perfect for air travel, where IATA luggage restrictions on suitcase dimensions apply. You can also purchase an exclusive scooter case to help protect your mobility scooter's folding mechanism from moisture and scratches while in transit.
You can store your scooter in the garage, basement, or attic when it's not being used. If you don't have access to these places, a spare room or closet can be used. It's crucial to choose an area that is dry and protected that is not in direct sunlight, to prevent the sun's rays from breaking down the rubber and plastic components and potentially creating rust.
Depending on the model you select the scooter you choose may come with a box or basket to aid you in shopping. You can also put the luggage hitch to the frame and pull it behind you while riding.
The small and light weight of these scooters mean you can carry them everywhere you go even in a crowded city like San Francisco. They can be used for an easy stroll in the park, spend a day shopping or explore an area you've always wanted to visit.
When shopping for a scooter that can be used on the go, it's an excellent idea to check the weight of every model. This will help you determine which one is suitable for you. When selecting a scooter you should also think about the battery's capacity as well as its lifespan.
If you are looking for a scooter which is easy to store you should look for models that fold up or disassemble into smaller pieces. Some fold electronically with the press of a button. others require you to disengage the seat and manually collapse the unit manually.
It's also an excellent idea to apply an anti-rust spray or corrosion inhibitor to your scooter prior to long-term storage particularly in areas that are prone to humidity and other environmental factors that could impact its condition. Avoid storing your scooter at extreme temperatures. High temperatures can damage the battery, while low temperatures can cause it to break down.
Easy to operate
A travel scooter provides all the advantages of a mobility scooter but in a smaller package. The controls are easy to operate and you can alter your tiller to the position that is most comfortable for you. A majority of the models we carry also feature long-lasting batteries and a convenient battery monitor.
We recommend storing your travel scooter in a climate-controlled location as extreme temperatures could alter the performance and longevity of lithium batteries. Keep your scooter close to an electrical source to ensure optimal charging.
It is essential to keep your mobility scooter clean since dust can increase the friction between moving parts and end up damaging internal electrical components. Keeping your scooter in a shed or garage is ideal, but if you don't have enough space you could consider purchasing a waterproof storage cover that will protect your scooter from sun and rain. Some of these covers incorporate security enhancements like locks to stop theft.
Before you leave your home, give your scooter a once-over before you set out to ride it again. Examine for signs of wear and tear or damage like a slack handlebar, broken lights, or even missing controls or tires. This can help ensure that your mobility scooter is in good condition to go and will continue to provide you with reliable service for years to come.
If you're looking to carry more luggage on your travel scooter, we provide various accessories to assist you in doing just that. Our Smart Luggage Kit comes with a carrier system which allows you to attach two smaller suitcases and a cabin-sized suitcase to the back of your travel scooter. We also recommend two-wheel luggage, as they are compact and will save you storage space. Additionally, two-wheel suitcases comply with IATA air-travel regulations regarding the maximum dimensions of a suitcase. This means you can travel with your scooter filled to the max without having to pay additional baggage charges. This is a major advantage that makes our travel scooters an excellent alternative for frequent and vacation travelers as well.

These lightweight scooters are 95% assembled, making it easy for the user to assemble them once they reach their destination.
Some models come with a convenient case or bag for ease of transport and use.

This makes the scooter smaller and more compact to fit into restricted spaces. It also allows riders to access any additional features they may require, such as a front basket or caddy.

Keeping your travel scooter clean and safe during transit is important for your safety and health. Make sure it is covered with a tarp or cover at all times. Avoid exposing it to extreme conditions that could reduce the battery life and affect the frame and components.
