Travel Scooter
Travel scooters are designed to be highly mobile. Some travel scooters fold while others are disassembled into smaller pieces.
Our mobility scooters that are lightweight can ascend an 8% incline and traverse cobblestone streets. They also have wider front tires for better performance on rough terrain. Some models include a rear-mounted hitch for bringing boxes or baskets.
Lightweight
Travel scooters are lightweight and easy to transport. This is why they are perfect for those who need to travel, whether via car or airplane. They can easily be tucked away in the trunk of a vehicle or checked as baggage on planes.
Our ultra-lightweight scooters utilize TIG-welded, heated-treated, aircraft-grade 7005 aluminum for the frames and other parts. This type of welding results in stronger, cleaner welds that are more appealing aesthetically compared to the common MIG welds found in most mobility scooters today. The frame of our lightweight mobility scooter weighs half the weight of the competition. This means you'll be able to transport your scooter with greater mobility over greater distances and more difficult terrain.
Additionally our scooters are designed with the rider's weight positioned over the drive wheel. This eliminates the tendency for front-wheel-drives scooters to spin on uneven or sloped surfaces. The result is a more comfortable ride and a substantial reduction in the costly repairs resulting from front-wheel damage.
Another benefit of our ultra-lightweight mobility scooters is their rubber tires that are solid. These tires are much more durable than the pneumatic (air) tires that are found on many scooters and are easier to navigate over rough roads or unpaved ones. The solid rubber is a lot more quiet than pneumatic tires, and it doesn't snag or get caught on obstacles.
When choosing the ideal mobility scooter for your needs, it's important to consider the weight of the scooter when it is fully assembled, including battery. Use our filters at top of the page to sort products by specifications, such as "heaviest pieces" which refers to the weight of the chair and battery pack.
Our scooters are fitted with the latest lithium-ion battery technology. It is extremely compact and light. They also have an impact-resistant case that has a UL 94-5VB flame rating to ensure your safety. They are made to last and made entirely of Panasonic cells. The batteries can be easily disassembled to facilitate transportation or storage.
Easy to Fold
Travel scooters fold up to fit in the trunk of your car or SUV. Some are even able to be broken down into smaller pieces, making moving them much simpler. They are perfect for air travel, where IATA baggage regulations on dimensions of suitcases are in effect. You can also buy a scooter case that is specifically designed to help protect your mobility scooter from scratches and moisture during transport.
You can store your scooter in the garage, basement or attic when it's not in use. If none of these options are available, a closet or spare bedroom will do just fine. It is important to select a dry and sheltered area away from direct sunlight, to prevent the sunlight's rays from damaging rubber and plastic components, and potentially causing rust.
Based on the model you choose, the scooter might come with the basket or box to aid you in your shopping requirements. You can also connect a luggage hitch to the frame and tow it behind when you ride.
They are small and light, so you can easily take them everywhere. Even in a busy city such as San Francisco. They can be used to enjoy a relaxing stroll in the park, or spend time shopping, or discover an area you've always wanted to go to.
It's a good idea to examine the weights of various models when shopping for the best scooter. This will help you decide which scooter is best for you. In addition, be sure to think about the battery's lifetime and capacity when selecting the right scooter.
Find scooters that can be folded or disassembled easily into smaller pieces. Some can fold electronically with the push of a button, whereas others require you to disengage the seat and manually collapse the unit manually.
It's also recommended to apply an anti-rust spray or corrosion inhibitor on your scooter prior to long-term storage, especially in areas susceptible to humidity and other environmental factors that could affect the condition of your scooter. It is also important to avoid storing your scooter in extreme temperatures because high temperatures can damage the battery, while low temperatures could cause it to melt and freeze.
Easy to Operate
With a travel scooter, you get all the features of a normal mobility scooter in a compact. The controls are simple to operate and you are able to adjust your tiller to a position that is most comfortable for you. Many of the models we sell also feature long-lasting batteries and a handy battery monitor.
We recommend that you store your scooter in a place that has a controlled climate, since extreme temperatures may affect the performance and life of lithium batteries. Keep your scooter close to a power source will aid in maintaining optimal charging conditions.
Keep your mobility scooter clean. Dust can cause friction between moving parts, which could cause damage to internal electrical components. If you don't want to store your scooter in the garage or shed, you can buy an outdoor storage cover to shield it from rain and sunlight. Some of these covers incorporate security enhancements like locks to prevent theft.
If you are ready to ride again, make sure to give your scooter a thorough inspection before leaving the house. Look for signs of excessive wear and tear or damage such as a broken handlebar, broken lights or any missing tires or controls. This will help ensure that your mobility scooter is prepared to go and will continue to provide you with reliable service for years to come.
We have a wide range of accessories that enable you to carry more luggage your travel scooter. Our Smart Luggage Kit includes a carrier system that allows you to attach a cabin-sized suitcase the front of your scooter and two smaller suitcases to its back. We also recommend using two-wheel suitcases because they are more compact and can save you valuable interior storage space. Additionally, two-wheel suitcases meet IATA air-travel regulations regarding the maximum dimensions of suitcases. This means that you can travel with your full scooter, without having to pay extra baggage fees. Our travel scooters are a great choice for both vacationers and frequent travellers.
Easy to store
Travel scooters can be broken down into small, 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 flights. These lightweight scooters come with a 95% assembly and are easy for the user to assemble them once they reach their destination.
Some models even come with an easy-to-carry bag or case that is designed for ease of use and transportation. The bags come with straps and handles that allow you to carry the scooter over your arm or shoulder without straining your back or neck. This is especially helpful when you need to transfer your scooter from one mode of transportation to another, or if you want to travel locally.
Most travel scooters have an adjustable seat that can be stored under the chassis or 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 users access to additional features, such as the front caddy or a basket.
Another great feature of most travel scooters is their smaller turning radius, which helps them maneuver through tight areas like the doors of apartments and homes. Some even feature a front suspension which provides additional stability when traversing rough or uneven terrain.
Maintaining your scooter's cleanliness and safe while in transit is essential for your health and safety. Keep compact electric mobility scooter covered with a tarp or cover at all times. Avoid exposing it to extreme conditions, as this will reduce the battery life and affect the frame and components.
Lastly, when purchasing your travel scooter, be certain to inquire with your airline regarding their specific rules and regulations regarding the use of mobility scooters ontoboard. The majority of airlines allow them with special approval, or even in checked luggage, however you might have to show the manufacturer's certificate and documentation that proves that the batteries comply with the specifications of the manufacturer. Certain airlines also have restrictions on the kind and size of batteries you can carry and it is recommended to research their guidelines and rules before you fly.
