Travel Scooter
Travel scooters have been developed to be extremely mobile. Some fold, while others are disassembled into multiple easy-to-handle pieces.
Our lightweight mobility scooters can navigate cobblestone roads and climb up an 8.8% slope. The front tires are wider to provide better performance on rough terrain. Some models even come with a rear-mounted hitch that can be used to carry boxes or baskets.
Lightweight
The lightweight structure of travel scooters makes them easy to carry and lift. This is why they're ideal for anyone who needs to travel, whether by plane or car. They are easy to fit into the trunk of your vehicle or be loaded as checked baggage on an airplane.
Our ultra-lightweight Scooters make use of heat-treated 7005 aircraft-grade aluminum TIG-welded for the frames and other components. This type of welding produces welds that are stronger, cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing than the typical MIG welding used in nearly every other mobility scooter made today. The frame of our lightest mobility scooter weighs just half as much as the competitors. This means you'll be able to transport your scooter with greater ease over longer distances and more difficult terrain.
In addition, our scooters are designed with the rider's weight positioned over the drive wheel. This reduces the tendency of front-wheel-drive scooters to spin around on uneven surfaces or inclines. The result is a smoother ride, as well as a significant reduction in costly repairs caused by damage to the front wheel.
Another advantage of our ultra-light mobility scooters is their rubber tires that are solid. These tires are more durable than pneumatic tires (air) that are found on many scooters, and they are much easier to maneuver on rough or unpaved roads. Solid rubber tires are quieter than pneumatics and don't stick to obstacles.
When you select the right mobility scooter for your needs, it is important to take into consideration the weight of the scooter when it is assembled, including battery. Use our filters at top of the page to filter products by specifications, for example "heaviest pieces" which refers to the weight of the chair and battery pack.
Our scooters come with the most modern lithium-ion battery technology that is extremely light and compact. The scooters also have a high-impact, flame-rated case with the UL944-5VB flame rating. These batteries are built to last and are made from 100% Panasonic cells. The batteries can be quickly removed for transportation or to simplify storage, should it be needed.
Easy to Fold
Travel scooters fold up easily and can be tucked away in the trunk of your van, car or SUV. They can also be broken down into smaller pieces, making moving them much easier. They are great for air travel where IATA baggage regulations on suitcase dimensions apply. You can also get a dedicated scooter case to help protect your mobility scooter's folding mechanism from scuffs and moisture during transit.
You can store your scooter in the garage, basement, or attic when it's not in use. If you don't have access to these areas then a spare bedroom or closet is sufficient. Choose a dry, sheltered area, far from direct sunlight. This will stop the sun's UV rays from damaging plastic and rubber components, and possibly causing corrosion.
Based on the model you choose, the scooter might come with either the basket or box to assist you with your shopping needs. You can also attach the luggage hitch on the frame and tow it behind you while riding.
These scooters are small and light, meaning you can take them everywhere. Even in a bustling city such as San Francisco. You can use them to go for a stroll through the park or shop. They are also great for exploring a new place that you've always wanted to visit.
It's a great idea to compare the weights of different models when shopping for scooters. This will help you determine which one is the best fit for you. When you are choosing a scooter, you should also consider the battery's capacity and life span.
Look for scooters that can be folded or disassembled easily into smaller parts. Some scooters fold with the push of a single button, while others require you to remove the seat manually and fold it.
It's also a good idea to apply an anti-rust spray or corrosion inhibitor on your scooter before long-term storage, especially in areas that are prone to humidity and other environmental factors that may influence the condition of your scooter. You should also avoid storing your scooter in extreme temperatures, because high temperatures can damage the battery and low temperatures can cause it to freeze and break down.
Easy to operate
With a travel scooter, you can enjoy all the convenience of a normal mobility scooter in a compact package. The controls are simple to use and you can alter your tiller to the position that is most comfortable for you. Many of the models we sell come with long-lasting batteries as well as an easy-to-use battery monitor.
We recommend storing your scooter in a climate-controlled area because extreme temperatures can alter the performance and longevity of lithium batteries. Keep your scooter close to an electric source for optimal charging.
It is essential to keep your mobility scooter clean, since dust can increase the friction between moving parts and potentially cause damage to internal electrical components. The idea of keeping your scooter in a shed or garage is ideal, but if you don't have enough space for this then you should consider investing in an waterproof storage cover to protect your scooter from sun and rain. Some of these covers even incorporate security enhancements 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. Examine for signs of wear and tear or deterioration, such as a loose handlebar, broken lights or missing tires or controls. This can help ensure that your mobility scooter is ready to go and will provide you with reliable service for many years to come.
We have a wide range of accessories that will enable you to carry more luggage your travel scooter. Our Smart Luggage Kit includes a carrier system that lets you attach a cabin-sized suitcase the front of your scooter, and two smaller suitcases to its back. We also recommend two-wheel suitcases because they are small and can save you storage space. Two-wheel luggage also meets IATA air travel regulations regarding maximum suitcase dimensions. This means you can fly with your scooter loaded with all the gear you need without having to pay extra baggage fees. This is one of the major advantages that makes our travel scooters an excellent option for frequent travelers as well.
Easy to Store
Travel scooters break into small and lightweight pieces that are easy to carry in your vehicle. They can easily fit into the trunk of a car, at your side on a bus or train, or checked into an airplane for long trips. These lightweight scooters are with a 95% assembly, making it easy for the user to assemble them once they arrive at their destination.
Some models come with a carrying bag or case for ease of transport and use. These bags are outfitted with handles and straps, which allow users to hold the scooter with their hands over their shoulder or arm without straining their back or neck. This is especially useful if you need to transfer your scooter between public transportation options or between various vehicles for local transportation.
Almost Read Even more come with a seat assembly that is removable and can be stored under the chassis or directly in the front of the feet of the user when not in use. This makes the scooter smaller and easier for storage in restricted spaces. It also allows users to access any other features they may require, such as a front basket or caddy.
Travel scooters are also noted for their narrower turning radius. This allows them to maneuver through tight spaces like the doors of apartments and homes. Some models of travel scooters come with a front-wheel suspension to provide extra stability when riding on uneven terrain.
It is crucial to your safety and health that you keep your travel scooter safe, dry, and clean when you are on the move. Make sure it is covered with a tarp or cover at all times. Avoid the exposure to extreme temperatures which can reduce the battery life and impact the frame and components.
When you purchase your travel scooter, be certain to inquire with your airline regarding their specific rules and regulations for bringing mobility scooters onboard. Many airlines allow them with special approval, or even in checked luggage, but you may have to show the certification of the manufacturer and other evidence which proves that the batteries meet their specifications. Certain airlines also have restrictions on the type and size of battery you can bring with you, so it is recommended to study their guidelines and rules before you depart.
