mobile electric scooters have been designed to be extremely mobile. Some travel scooters fold, while others can be disassembled into smaller pieces.
Our lightweight mobility scooters can navigate cobblestone roads and climb up an 8percent slope. The front tires are wider to give better performance in rough terrain. Some models come with an attached hitch at the rear for carrying boxes or baskets.
Lightweight
The light-weight structure of travel scooters makes them easy to carry and lift. They are perfect for those who need to travel by car or plane. They can be easily stowed in the trunk of a vehicle or checked as baggage on planes.
Our ultra-lightweight scooters use TIG-welded, heated-treated, aircraft-grade 7005 aluminum for the frames and other parts. This type of welding creates welds that are more durable, cleaner and more attractive than the standard MIG welding used in nearly all other mobility scooters manufactured today. The frame of our lightest mobility scooter weighs half the weight of the competition. This means you'll be able to transport your scooter with greater ease over longer distances and on more challenging terrain.
Additionally, our scooters are designed with the rider's weight placed over the drive wheel. This prevents the tendency of front-wheel drive scooters to spin on inclines or uneven surfaces. This results in a smoother ride, as well as a significant reduction in the cost of repairs due to front-wheel damage.
Solid rubber tires are another benefit of our ultralight mobility scooters. They are more durable than pneumatic tires (air) used on the majority of scooters, and they are easier to maneuver over rough or unpaved roads. Rubber tires that are solid are quieter than pneumatics and don't catch on obstacles.
It is important to consider the total weight of a mobility scooter including the battery when selecting the right one for your needs. You can do this by using our filters at the top of the page to filter by specifications of the product, such as "heaviest piece" which is the total weight of the battery pack and the chair.
Our scooters are equipped with the most modern lithium-ion battery technology, which is extremely compact and light. They also feature a high-impact case that has a UL 94-5VB flame rating to ensure your safety. These batteries are made to last and are made of 100% Panasonic cells. They can be easily disassembled to facilitate transportation or storage.
Easy to Fold
Travel scooters can be folded into a compact size to fit inside the trunk of your SUV or car. Some are even able to be broken into smaller pieces to make transporting them simpler. This makes them perfect for air travel, as IATA luggage limitations on dimensions of suitcases apply. You can also buy a dedicated scooter case to protect your mobility scooter from scuffs and moisture while in transit.
You can store your scooter in the garage, basement or attic when it's not in use. If these areas aren't available an attic or closet bedroom will do just fine. Pick a dry, protected location, away from direct sunlight. This will stop the sun's UV rays from damaging the plastic and rubber components, and possibly creating rust.
Depending on the model you select, the scooter may come with either a basket or box to assist you with your shopping requirements. You can also connect a luggage hitch to the frame and tow it behind when you ride.
These scooters are small and light, which means you can easily take them anywhere. Even in a bustling city like San Francisco. They can be used to enjoy an easy stroll in the park, spend time shopping, or discover the new place you've always wanted to visit.
It's a good idea compare the weights of different models when shopping for the best scooter. This will help you determine which one is the best fit for you. Also, make sure to consider the battery's lifespan and capacity when selecting the right scooter.
Look for scooters that fold or easily disassembled into smaller parts. Some can fold electronically with the push of a button, whereas others require you to take off the seat manually and then fold the unit.
If you plan to store your scooter it's recommended to spray an anti-rust or corrosion inhibitor over it. This is especially important in areas prone to humidity. Avoid storing your scooter in extreme temperatures. Extreme temperatures can cause damage to the battery, while low temperatures can cause it break down.
Simple to Operate
With a travel scooter, you get all the comforts of an ordinary mobility scooter in a compact package. The controls are simple to operate and you are able to adjust your tiller to the position that is most comfortable for you. Certain models include batteries that last for a long time, and an electronic battery monitor.
We suggest that you keep your scooter in a location that has a controlled climate, as extreme temperatures can affect the performance and longevity of lithium batteries. Keep your scooter in close proximity to a power source will also ensure optimal charging conditions.
Keep your mobility scooter clean. Dust can cause friction between moving parts, which could cause damage to internal electrical components. Storing your scooter in a shed or garage is ideal, however in the event that you don't have the space for this you could consider purchasing a waterproof storage cover to protect your scooter from sun and rain. Some of these covers have security features like locks to stop theft.
Before you leave the house Make sure you give your scooter a once-over before you set out to ride it again. Check for signs of excessive wear and tear or damage like a slack handlebar, damaged lights, or missing tires or controls. This will help ensure that your mobility scooter is ready to take off and will provide you with reliable service for years to come.
If you'd like to carry more luggage on your travel scooter, we offer several accessories to assist you in doing just that. Our Smart Luggage Kit includes a carrier system that allows you to attach a cabin-sized suitcase to the front of your scooter, and two smaller suitcases to its back. We also recommend two-wheel suitcases as they are lightweight and can save you storage space. Two-wheel suitcases also comply with IATA air travel guidelines regarding maximum suitcase dimensions. As a result, you can travel with your full scooter without having to pay additional baggage charges. Our travel scooters are an excellent choice for both vacationers and frequent travelers.
Easy to Store
Travel scooters break into lightweight and portable pieces that are easy to transport in your vehicle. They can be conveniently stored in the trunk of your vehicle, or by your side when traveling by train or bus, or checked in an airplane for long journeys. These lightweight scooters come 95% assembled and are 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 that is designed for ease of use and transport. These bags are equipped with straps and handles, which make it easier for users to carry the scooter by hand on their shoulders or arms without straining their back or neck. This is especially helpful if you have to transfer your scooter from one mode of transportation to another, or need to travel within a certain area.
The majority of travel-related scooters have an adjustable seat that can be put under the chassis or in the front of the user's feet when the scooter isn't being used. This allows the scooter to be stored in small spaces and makes it smaller. It also allows riders access to any additional features, such as an in-front caddy or basket.
Another benefit of the majority of travel scooters is their shorter turning radius, which helps them navigate tight spaces like doors in apartments and homes. Some models even have a front suspension that gives extra stability when driving over rough or uneven terrain.
It is vital to your safety and health that you keep your scooter clean, dry and secure while in transit. Cover it by a tarp or a cover at all times. Avoid the exposure to extreme temperatures that could reduce the battery life and impact the frame and other components.
When you purchase an electric scooter for travel, be sure you check with your airline to determine what their regulations and rules apply to bringing mobility devices onboard. Many airlines allow them with special approval, or in checked luggage, but you may need to present the certification of the manufacturer and other evidence that shows that the batteries comply with their specifications. Some carriers also have restrictions on the kind and size of battery that you can carry It is a good idea to study their rules and guidelines before you travel.
