Travel Scooter
Travel scooters are designed to be extremely transportable. Some travel scooters fold, while others are broken down into smaller pieces.
Our mobility scooters that are lightweight are able to traverse cobblestone roads as well as climb an 8% slope. They also come with wider front tires for better performance on rough terrain. Some models even come with a rear-mounted hitch that can be used for carrying baskets or boxes.
Lightweight
The lightweight structure of travel scooters makes them easy to lift and transport. This is why they are perfect for those who need to travel, whether via car or airplane. They can easily fit into the trunk of your vehicle or be loaded as checked baggage on an airplane.
Our ultra-lightweight scooters use TIG-welded, heat-treated, aircraft-grade 7005 aluminum for the frames and other parts. This type of welding results in welds that are stronger, more durable and more attractive than the standard MIG welds found in virtually all other mobility scooters made today. As a result, the frame of our lightweight scooter weighs less than half the weight of its competitors. This allows you to transport your scooter for longer distances and on more difficult terrain.
Additionally, our scooters are designed with the rider's weight placed over the drive wheel. This reduces the tendency of front-wheel-drive scooters to spin out on uneven or inclines. The result is a much more smooth ride, and a significant reduction in the cost of repairs resulting from front-wheel damage.
Solid rubber tires are a further benefit of our ultralightweight mobility scooters. These tires are more durable than pneumatic tires (air) used on the majority of scooters, and they are much easier to maneuver on rough or unpaved roads. Solid rubber tires are quieter than pneumatics and do not get caught on obstacles.
When choosing the best mobility scooter for your needs, it's crucial to consider the total 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 product specifications, for example "heaviest piece" which indicates the combined weight of the battery pack and the chair.
Our scooters are powered by the modern lithium-ion batteries, which are extremely compact and light. The scooters also feature an extremely durable, flame-rated enclosure with an flame rating of UL944-5VB. The batteries are made from 100 percent Panasonic cells and are designed to last. The batteries can be easily disassembled for transportation or storage.
Easy to Fold
Travel scooters fold easily to fit into the trunk of your van, car or SUV. They can even be disassembled into smaller pieces for easier transport. This makes them perfect for travel on planes, where IATA luggage restrictions on the dimensions of suitcases are in place. You can purchase a scooter case which will shield your mobility scooter from scratches and moisture while in transit.
When not in use When not in use, you can store your scooter in your garage, basement or attic. If you don't have access to these places then a spare bedroom or closet is sufficient. It's important to choose a dry and sheltered area, out of direct sunlight, to stop the sunlight's rays from damaging plastic and rubber components and potentially creating corrosion.
Depending on which model you choose the scooter you choose may come with a box or basket to aid you in shopping. You can also put the luggage hitch to the frame and pull it behind you as you ride.
The light and compact nature of these scooters mean that you can take them everywhere you go even in a crowded city like San Francisco. They can be used to enjoy an easy stroll in the park, or spend an afternoon shopping or exploring an area you've always wanted to visit.
When you are looking for a scooter that can be used on the go it is a good idea to compare the weight of every model. This will help you decide which scooter is best for you. When choosing a scooter, you should also consider the battery's capacity and life span.
Find scooters that fold or disassembled easily into smaller pieces. Some scooters fold at the press of a single button, whereas others require you to remove the seat and manually collapse it.
It's also an excellent idea to apply an anti-rust spray or corrosion inhibitor to your scooter prior to long-term storage, especially in areas that are prone to humidity and other environmental factors that may impact its condition. Beware of storing your scooter at extreme temperatures. Extreme temperatures can cause damage to the battery, and low temperatures could cause it to breakdown.
Easy to operate
A travel scooter offers all the benefits of a mobility scooter, but in a smaller package. The controls are simple to operate and you are able to alter your tiller to the position that is most comfortable for you. Many of the models we sell also feature long-lasting batteries and a convenient battery monitor.
We recommend that you store your travel scooter in a place that has a controlled climate, since extreme temperatures can impact the performance and lifespan of lithium batteries. Maintaining your scooter close to a source of power will also ensure optimal charging conditions.
Make sure your mobility scooter is clean. Dust can cause friction between moving parts, and this could damage internal electrical components. Storing your scooter in a garage or shed is ideal, but if you don't have enough space for this you could consider purchasing a waterproof storage cover to keep your scooter safe from sunlight and rain. Some of these covers have security features like locks to stop theft.
Before electric mobility scooters for seniors leave the house Give your scooter a thorough inspection before you set out to ride it again. Look for signs of excessive wear or deterioration such as a damaged light, a sagging handlebar or missing controls or tires. This will ensure that your mobility scooter is ready to go and will continue to provide you with dependable service for years to come.
If you want to carry more luggage on your travel scooter, we offer numerous accessories that will assist you in doing just that. Our Smart Luggage Kit comes with the ability to carry a carrier system that allows you to attach two smaller suitcases as well as an oversized cabin case to the back of your travel scooter. We also recommend using two-wheel suitcases as they are smaller and can save you valuable storage space in your interior. Furthermore, two-wheeled suitcases meet IATA air-travel regulations on the maximum dimensions of a suitcase. This means that you can fly with your full scooter load without having to pay additional baggage fees. Our travel scooters are an excellent option for vacationers as well as frequent travellers.
Easy to store
Travel scooters break into lightweight and portable pieces that are easy to transport in your vehicle. They can easily fit into the trunk of a car, at your side on trains or buses or even tucked into an airplane for long trips. These lightweight scooters are 95% assembled making it simple for the user to put them together them when they reach their destination.
Some models come with bags for carrying or a case designed for easy use and transportation. The bags come with straps and handles that make it easier to carry the scooter on your arm or shoulder without straining your 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 scooters come with a seat assembly that is removable and can be stored under the chassis or directly in the front of the user's feet when not in use. This allows the scooter to be stored in small spaces and makes it smaller. It also gives riders access to any additional features, including a front caddy or basket.
Travel scooters are also noted for their smaller turning radius. This allows them to maneuver through tight spaces, such as the entrances of homes and apartments. Some travel scooters have a front-wheel suspension to provide extra stability on uneven terrain.
Maintaining your scooter's cleanliness and safe on the road is vital for your safety and health. Be sure to keep it covered or covered with tarps at all times and keep it from being exposed to extreme weather conditions since this could reduce the battery's lifespan and affect the condition of the frame and components.
Lastly, when purchasing your travel scooter, be certain to inquire with your airline about their specific guidelines and rules for bringing mobility scooters onboard. The majority of airlines allow them to be checked in baggage, or with a special approval. However, you may be required to show the manufacturer's certificate and other documentation proving that the batteries meet the specifications of the manufacturer. Certain airlines also have restrictions regarding the size and type of battery you can bring on board. It is best to verify their guidelines and rules before you fly.
