Travel Scooter
Travel scooters are designed to be highly transportable. Some fold, while others are disassembled into multiple pieces that are easy to handle.
Our lightweight mobility scooters can ascend an 8% incline and travel over cobblestone roads. The front tires are larger for better performance in rough terrain. Some models come with a hitch that is mounted at the rear to carry baskets or boxes.
Lightweight
Travel scooters are lightweight and easy to move. This is why they're ideal for anyone who has to travel, whether by plane or by car. They are easy to fit into the trunk of your car or be carried as checked baggage on a flight.
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 welds that are more durable, cleaner and more pleasing to the eye than the standard MIG welds used in virtually all other mobility scooters manufactured today. This means that the frame of our lightest scooter weighs less than half of the weight of the competitors. This means you'll be able to carry your scooter with more mobility over greater distances and more difficult terrain.
Our scooters are also built so that the rider's body weight is placed over the drivewheel. This eliminates the tendency for front-wheel drive scooters to spin over uneven or inclines surfaces. The result is a smoother ride, as well as a significant reduction in the cost of repairs due to front-wheel damage.
Another advantage of our ultra-lightweight mobility scooters is their solid rubber tires. They are more durable than pneumatic tires (air) used on the majority of scooters, and they are much easier to maneuver on rough or unpaved road. Rubber tires that are solid are quieter than pneumatics and don't catch on obstacles.
When choosing the best mobility scooter for your needs, it's important to consider the weight of the scooter once it is fully assembled, including battery. You can do this by using our filters at the top of the page to sort by specifications of the product, such as "heaviest piece" which indicates the combined weight of the battery pack and the chair.
Our scooters use the very modern lithium-ion batteries, which are extremely compact and lightweight. They also feature an impact-resistant case that has a UL 94-5VB flame rating to ensure your safety. These batteries are built to last and are made entirely of Panasonic cells. The batteries can be easily removed for transportation or to simplify storage, if required.
Easy to Fold
Travel scooters fold down easily to fit in the trunk of your van, car or SUV. Some of them even break down into smaller pieces for easier transportation. This makes them perfect for air travel, where IATA luggage restrictions on the dimensions of suitcases are in place. You can also purchase a scooter case which will shield your folding mobility wheelchair 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 you don't have access to these places then a spare room or closet can be used. Pick a dry, protected area, far from direct sunlight. This will prevent the sun's UV rays damaging the plastic and rubber components, and even causing corrosion.
Depending on the model you choose The scooter you select may come with the option of a basket or box to make shopping easier. You can also connect an accessory for luggage to the frame, towing it behind you when riding.
They are small and light, meaning you can easily take them anywhere. Even in a bustling city like San Francisco. You can take them for a walk in the park or shop. They are also ideal for exploring a new place that you have always wanted to see.
When shopping for a portable scooter it is an excellent idea to check the weight of every model. This can help you determine which one is the best for you. When you are choosing a scooter, you should also think about the battery's capacity as well as its lifespan.
Find scooters that fold or easily disassembled into smaller parts. Some fold electronically with the press of a button, while others require you to remove the seat and manually fold the unit.
It's also a good idea to apply an anti-rust spray or corrosion inhibitor on your scooter prior to long-term storage particularly in areas susceptible to humidity and other environmental factors that can impact its condition. Beware of storing your scooter at extreme temperatures. Extreme temperatures can cause damage to the battery, while low temperatures can cause it to breakdown.
Easy to operate
With a travel scooter, you have all the comforts of an ordinary mobility scooter in a compact. The controls are easy to use, and you can adjust the tiller to place it in the most comfortable position for you. Certain models come with long-lasting batteries, and a battery monitor.
We recommend that you store your scooter in a location that has an environment that is controlled, as extreme temperatures can affect the performance and lifespan of lithium batteries. Keep large scooters near an electrical source for optimal charging.
It is essential to keep your mobility scooter clean, because dust can increase friction between moving parts and damage internal electrical components. The idea of keeping your scooter in a garage or shed is ideal, but if you don't have the space for this then you should consider investing in an waterproof storage cover to protect your scooter from rain and sunlight. Some of these covers even incorporate security enhancements like locks to deter theft.
Before you leave home, give your scooter a thorough inspection before you set out to ride it again. Examine for signs of wear and tear or deterioration like a slack handlebar, broken lights, or any missing tires or controls. This will ensure that your mobility device is in working condition and will provide you with a long life span of years.
We offer a variety of accessories that allow you to carry more luggage on your travel scooter. Our Smart Luggage Kit comes with an accessory system that allows you to attach two smaller suitcases and a cabin-sized case to the back of your travel scooter. We also recommend two-wheel luggage as they are lightweight and will save you storage space. Two-wheel suitcases also meet IATA air travel regulations for maximum suitcase dimensions. Therefore, you can fly with your entire scooter load without having to pay extra baggage fees. This is an advantage that makes our travel scooters a great option for vacationers and frequent travelers alike.
Easy to store
Travel scooters can be cut into smaller, portable pieces that can be easily transported in your car. They can be conveniently stored in the trunk of your car, at your side on a train or bus or even stowed in an airplane for long journeys. These lightweight scooters are 95% assembled, making it easy for the user to put them together them when they reach their destination.
Some models even come with an easy-to-carry bag or case designed for simple use and transport. These bags are outfitted with handles and straps, which allow users to hold the scooter by hand over their arm or shoulder without straining their neck or back. This is especially helpful when you have to transfer your scooter from one mode of transportation to another, or want to travel locally.
Most travel scooters have an adjustable seat that can be stored under the chassis or in front of the user’s feet when the scooter is not being used. This allows the scooter to be stored in small areas and is smaller. It also allows riders access to additional features, like an in-front caddy or basket.
Another great feature of most travel scooters is their shorter turning radius, which can help to navigate narrow areas like the doors of homes and apartments. Some models even have a front wheel suspension which provides additional stability when driving over rough or uneven terrain.
Cleansing your travel scooter and safe while in transit is essential for your health and safety. Cover it by a tarp or a cover at all times. Avoid exposure to extreme conditions which can affect the battery's life and harm the frame and other components.
Lastly, when purchasing your travel scooter, make sure to inquire with your airline about their specific rules and regulations for bringing mobility scooters onboard. The majority of airlines allow them in checked baggage, or with a special approval. However, you might be required to show the manufacturer's certification and documents that prove that the batteries conform to their specifications. Some airlines have limitations on the size and type of battery you are allowed to bring on board. It is best to check their guidelines and rules prior to when you fly.
