Travel Scooter
Travel scooters have been designed to be extremely lightweight. Some travel scooters fold while others can be disassembled into smaller pieces.
Our mobility scooters that are lightweight are able to traverse cobblestone roads and climb up an 8.8% slope. They also have wider front tires to provide better performance on rough terrain. Some models have an attached hitch in the rear to carry boxes or baskets.
Lightweight
Travel scooters are light and easy to move. This is why they're ideal for anyone who has to travel, whether by plane or car. They can be easily stored in the trunk of a car or checked as baggage on planes.
Our ultra-lightweight scooters utilize TIG-welded, heat-treated, aircraft grade 7005 aluminum for the frames and other components. This type of welding results in stronger, cleaner welds that are more attractive compared to the common MIG welds that are commonly found in mobility scooters today. The frame of our lightest mobility scooter weighs half as much as that of the competition. This means you can carry your scooter with more comfort over larger distances and on more challenging terrain.
Our scooters are also designed so that the rider's weight is placed on the drivewheel. This reduces the tendency of front-wheel-drive scooters to spin on uneven or inclines. The result is a more comfortable ride, and a substantial reduction in the cost of repairs due to front-wheel damage.
Solid rubber tires are a further benefit of our ultralightweight mobility scooters. These tires are more durable than pneumatic tires (air) found on most scooters, and they are easier to maneuver over rough roads or unpaved ones. Rubber tires that are solid are quieter than pneumatics and do not stick to obstacles.
It is crucial to consider the total weight of a mobility scooter, including the battery, when selecting the right one for your needs. Use our filters at the top of page to filter products by specifications, such as "heaviest pieces" which specifies combined weight of chair and battery pack.
Our scooters use the very modern lithium-ion batteries that are extremely compact and lightweight. The scooters also feature an extremely high-impact, flame-rated case with an flame rating of UL944-5VB. These batteries are made of 100% Panasonic cells and are constructed to last for a long time. The batteries are able to be easily disassembled for transportation or storage.
Easy to Fold
Travel scooters can fold up to fit in the trunk of your SUV or car. Some can even be disassembled into smaller pieces, making transportation easier. They are ideal for air travel, where IATA luggage regulations on dimensions of suitcases are in effect. You can also purchase a scooter bag that will protect your mobility scooter from moisture and scratches during transit.
You can store your scooter in the garage, basement, or attic when it's not being used. If you do not have access to these spaces, a spare bedroom or closet is sufficient. Pick a dry, protected location, away from direct sunlight. This will prevent the sun's UV rays damaging rubber and plastic components, and even causing corrosion.
Depending on which model you pick The scooter you select may come with a box or basket to make shopping easier. You can also connect a luggage hitch to the frame, and tow it behind you when riding.
They are small and light, so you can take them everywhere. Even in a busy city such as San Francisco. They can be used for an enjoyable stroll through the park, or spend an afternoon shopping or exploring an area you've always wanted to go to.
When shopping for a scooter that can be used on the go, it's a good idea to compare the weight of each model. This will help you determine which scooter is best for you. Also, make sure to consider the battery's lifespan and capacity when selecting the best scooter.
Look for scooters that can be folded or easily disassembled into smaller parts. Some scooters fold at the press of a single button, while other require that you remove the seat manually and fold it.
Before long-term storage of your scooter, it's a good idea for you to spray an anti-rust or corrosion inhibitor over it. This is particularly crucial in areas that are prone to humidity. Avoid storing your scooter at extreme temperatures. High temperatures can damage the battery, while low temperatures can cause it breakdown.

We suggest that you store your travel scooter in a location that has a controlled climate, since extreme temperatures can affect the performance and longevity of lithium batteries. Maintaining your scooter in close proximity to a power source will also help maintain optimal charging conditions.
Keep your mobility scooter clean. Dust can cause friction between moving parts, which could damage internal electrical components. Keeping your scooter in a shed or garage is ideal, but in the event that you don't have the space you could consider purchasing an waterproof storage cover to keep your scooter safe from sun and rain. Some of these covers come with security features, like locks that prevent theft.
Before you leave the house Give your scooter a thorough inspection before you set out to ride it again. Check for signs of excessive wear and tear or damage, such as a loose handlebar, damaged lights, or any missing tires or controls. This will help ensure that your mobility scooter is in good condition to go and will continue to provide you with reliable service for many years to come.
