Travel Scooter
Travel scooters are designed to be extremely mobile. Some fold, while others are disassembled into multiple easy-to-handle pieces.
Our mobility scooters that are lightweight are able to traverse cobblestone roads and climb an 8% slope. They also have wider front tires to provide better performance on rough terrain. Some models even include a rear-mounted hitch for bringing boxes or baskets.
Lightweight
Travel scooters are lightweight and easy to carry. They are perfect for anyone who has to travel by car or plane. They can easily fit in the trunk of your vehicle or be checked as baggage on a flight.
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 more durable, cleaner and more attractive than the typical MIG welds found in virtually every other mobility scooter made today. In the end, the frame of our lightweight scooter weighs less than half as much as the competition. This means you'll be able to transport your scooter with greater ease over longer distances and more difficult terrain.
Additionally our scooters are constructed with the rider's weight positioned over the drive wheel. This prevents the tendency of front-wheel-drive scooters to spin around on uneven surfaces or inclines. The result is a much more comfortable ride and a substantial reduction in the costly repairs associated with front-wheel damage.
Another advantage of our ultra-lightweight mobility scooters is their rubber tires that are solid. These tires are far more durable than pneumatic (air) tires that are found on many scooters and are easier to navigate on rough roads or unpaved ones. Solid rubber tires are quieter than pneumatics and don't stick to obstacles.
When choosing the best mobility scooter for your needs, it's important to take into consideration the weight of the scooter once it is fully assembled including battery. Use our filters at the top of the page to sort products according to specifications, like "heaviest pieces" which specifies combined weight of the chair and battery pack.
Our scooters use the very latest lithium-ion batteries which are extremely compact and lightweight. They also have a high-impact case that has a UL 94-5VB flame rating to ensure your safety. These batteries are made of 100 percent Panasonic cells and are built to last. The batteries can be easily disassembled to facilitate transportation or storage.
Easy to Fold
Travel scooters fold easily to fit in the trunk of your car, van or SUV. Some even disassemble into several smaller pieces to make it easier to transport. They are ideal for air travel where IATA luggage regulations on suitcase dimensions apply. You can also buy a dedicated scooter case to protect your folding mobility scooter from moisture and scratches during transport.
When not in electric mobility scooters for adults with seat , you can easily store your scooter in your garage, basement or attic. If these areas aren't available to you an attic or closet bedroom could be a good alternative. Pick a dry, shaded area, far from direct sunlight. This will stop the sun's UV rays from damaging the plastic and rubber components, and even creating rust.
Depending on which model you select, your scooter may include a box or basket to aid you in shopping. You can also connect the luggage hitch on the frame and tow it behind you while riding.
The small and light weight of these scooters mean that you can take them anywhere you go even in a bustling city like San Francisco. You can use them to go for a stroll through the park or go shopping. They are also ideal to explore a new area that you've always wanted to see.
When shopping for a portable scooter it is a good idea to compare the weight of every model. This will help you determine which one is best for you. Also, make sure to consider the battery's lifespan and capacity when selecting the best scooter.
Find scooters that fold or disassembled easily into smaller pieces. Some scooters fold at the push of a single button, whereas others require you to remove the seat manually and fold it.
Before long-term storage of your scooter, it's an excellent idea to spray an anti-rust or corrosion inhibitor over it. This is particularly crucial in areas with high humidity. It is also recommended to not store your scooter in extreme temperatures, as high temps can damage the battery, while low temperatures could cause it to break down and freeze.
Easy to Operate
A travel scooter provides all the advantages of a mobility scooter, however, it's a smaller package. The controls are simple to use, and you can adjust the tiller to put it in the most comfortable position for you. Many of the models we carry also feature long-lasting batteries and an easy-to-use battery monitor.
We suggest storing your travel scooter in a climate-controlled location because extreme temperatures can affect the performance and life of lithium batteries. Keep your scooter near an electrical source to ensure that it is charged properly.
Clean your mobility scooter. Dust can cause friction between moving parts, which could cause damage to internal electrical components. Storing your scooter in a garage or shed is ideal, however in the event that you don't have the space, you can invest in a waterproof storage cover that will protect your scooter from sun and rain. Some of these covers even have security features like locks to deter theft.
When you are ready to ride again, make sure you give your scooter a thorough inspection before leaving the house. Check for signs of excessive wear or damage, such as a damaged light, a loose handlebar or missing controls or tires. This can help ensure that your mobility scooter is in good condition to go and will provide you with dependable service for years to come.
If you'd like to carry more luggage on your travel scooter, we have various accessories to 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 an oversized cabin case to the back of your travel scooter. We also recommend using two-wheeled suitcases because they are smaller and can save you valuable storage space in your interior. In addition, two-wheel suitcases comply with IATA air-travel regulations regarding the maximum dimensions of a suitcase. You can therefore travel with your scooter filled to the max without having to pay extra baggage fees. Our travel scooters are a fantastic option for vacationers as well as frequent travellers.
Easy to Store
Travel scooters break down into light and portable pieces that are easy to transport in your vehicle. They are able to be easily tucked away in the trunk of a car, or at your side while on a bus or train or even in an airplane for long flights. These lightweight scooters come already assembled which makes them simple for users to assemble upon arrival at their destination.
Some models come with a handy carrying bag or case that allows for easy transport and use. The bags are fitted with handles and straps which allow users to carry the scooter with their hands over their shoulder or arm without straining their back or neck. This is especially helpful for those who need to move your scooter between public transportation or between vehicles for local transport.
The majority of travel scooters come with seats that can be stored under the chassis or in the front of the user's feet when the scooter isn't in use. This makes the scooter smaller and easier to fit into small spaces, and also allows riders to access any additional features they may require, like a front basket or caddy.
Travel scooters are also known for their narrower turning radius. This allows them to maneuver through tight spaces like the doors of homes and apartments. Some even feature a front wheel suspension that provides extra stability when driving over uneven or rough terrain.
Keeping your travel scooter clean and safe on the road is important for your health and safety. Cover it by a tarp or a cover at all times. Avoid exposure to extreme conditions, as this will affect the battery's life and impact the frame and its components.
Lastly, when purchasing your travel scooter, be certain to inquire with your airline regarding their specific rules and regulations regarding the use of mobility scooters ontoboard. The majority of airlines allow them with a specific approval, or even in checked luggage, but you may have to show the manufacturer's certificate or other documentation that shows that the batteries meet their specifications. Some airlines also have restrictions regarding the size and type of battery you are allowed to bring on board. It is recommended to read their guidelines and rules prior to when you travel.
