Travel Scooter
Travel scooters are designed to be highly transportable. Some travel scooters fold, while others are broken down into smaller pieces.
Our mobility scooters that are lightweight can climb an incline of 8% and navigate cobblestone streets. The front tires are larger to give better performance in rough terrain. Some models come with an attached hitch in the rear to carry boxes or baskets.
Lightweight
The light structure of travel scooters makes them simple to lift and transport. 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 checked as baggage on an airplane.
Our ultra-lightweight scooters make use of TIG-welded, heat-treated, aircraft-grade 7005 aluminum for the frames and other components. This type of welding results in welds that are stronger, cleaner and more pleasing to the eye than the common MIG welds found in virtually every other mobility scooter made today. The frame of our lightest mobility scooter weighs half the weight of the competitors. This lets you carry your scooter for longer distances or on more difficult terrains.
Our scooters are also built to ensure that the rider's body weight is positioned over the drivewheel. This reduces the tendency of front-wheel-drive scooters to spin out on inclines or uneven surfaces. The result is a smoother ride, as well as a significant reduction in costly repairs due to front-wheel damage.
Solid rubber tires are a further benefit of our ultralight mobility scooters. These tires are more durable than pneumatic tires (air) found on most scooters, and they are easier to maneuver over rough or unpaved road. The solid rubber is also a lot more quiet than pneumatic tires and doesn't catch or snag on obstacles.

Our scooters are powered by the modern lithium-ion batteries, which are extremely compact and light. They also have 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. The batteries can be quickly removed for transportation or to make storage easier, when required.

Travel scooters can be folded up to fit in the trunk of your car or SUV. Some of them even break down into smaller pieces for easier transportation. This makes them perfect for air travel, as IATA luggage limitations on dimensions of suitcases apply. You can also purchase a scooter case that will protect your folding mobility wheelchair from scratches and moisture during transit.
You can put your scooter in the garage, basement or attic when it's not being used. If none of these options are available to you, a closet or spare bedroom could be a good alternative. It's important to choose an area that is dry and shaded away from direct sunlight to avoid the sunlight's rays from damaging plastic and rubber components and possibly causing rust.
Depending on which model you select, your scooter may include a box or basket to make shopping easier. You can also connect a luggage hitch to the frame and tow it behind when you ride.
These scooters are compact and light, so they can be easily transported everywhere. Even in a crowded city such as San Francisco. You can use them to go for a stroll through the park or shop. They are also ideal for exploring a new place you've always wanted to see.

It is also important to avoid storing your scooter in extreme temperatures as high temps can damage the battery, while low temperatures can cause it to freeze and break down.

Make sure your mobility scooter is clean. Dust can cause friction between moving parts, and this could damage internal electrical components. If you don't want store your scooter in the garage or shed, you can buy an outdoor storage cover that protects it from sunlight and rain. Some of these covers even include security features such as locks to prevent theft.
Before you leave the house, give your scooter a once-over when you're ready to ride it again. Check for signs of excessive wear and tear or deterioration, such as a loose handlebar, broken lights, or missing tires or controls. This will ensure that your mobility scooter is prepared to go and will provide you with reliable service for many years to come.
We have a range of accessories that will enable you to carry more luggage with your travel scooter. Our Smart Luggage Kit comes with the ability to carry a carrier system that allows you to connect two smaller suitcases as well as a cabin-sized suitcase to the back of your travel scooter. We also recommend two-wheel suitcases as they are lightweight and save you valuable storage space. In addition, two-wheel suitcases meet IATA air-travel guidelines on the maximum dimensions of suitcases.
