What Experts From The Field Want You To Know
Travel Scooter
Travel scooters have been designed to be extremely portable. Some fold, while others are disassembled into multiple easy-to-handle pieces.
Our mobility scooters that are lightweight can ascend an 8% incline and navigate cobblestone streets. The front tires are wider for better performance in rough terrain. Some models also have a rear-mounted hitch for bringing boxes or baskets.
Lightweight
The light structure of travel scooters makes them easy to lift and move. This is why they are perfect for those who need to travel by plane or car. They can easily be tucked away in the trunk of a vehicle or checked as baggage on planes.
Our ultra-lightweight scooters use TIG-welded, heat-treated, aircraft-grade 7005 aluminum for the frames and other components. This type of welding produces welds that are stronger, more durable and more attractive than the typical MIG welding used in nearly all other mobility scooters made today. The frame of our lightest mobility scooter weighs just half as much as the rivals. This means you can carry your scooter with more ease over longer distances and on more challenging terrain.
Additionally our scooters are constructed with the rider's weight placed over the drive wheel. This eliminates the tendency for front-wheel-drives scooters to spin on uneven or sloped surfaces. This results in a more smooth ride, and a significant reduction in the expensive repairs resulting from front-wheel damage.
Solid rubber tires are a further advantage of our ultralightweight mobility scooters. They are more durable than pneumatic tires (air) that are found on many scooters, and are more maneuverable on rough or unpaved road. Rubber tires that are solid are quieter than pneumatics and don't catch on obstacles.
When choosing the ideal mobility scooter for your needs, it's crucial to consider the total weight of the scooter when it is assembled, including battery. 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 chair and battery pack.
Our scooters utilize the modern lithium-ion batteries, which are extremely compact and light. The scooters also have a high-impact, flame-rated case with a UL944-5VB flame rating. They are made to last and made of 100% Panasonic cells. The batteries are able to be quickly disassembled for transport or to make storage easier, when required.
Easy to Fold
Travel scooters fold up to fit into the trunk of your SUV or car. Some of them even break down into smaller pieces for easier transportation. They are perfect for air travel where IATA luggage regulations for dimensions of the suitcase are in place. You can purchase a scooter case which will shield your folding mobility wheelchair from moisture and scratches during transport.
electric vehicles can store your scooter in the garage, basement or attic when it's not in use. If none of these options are available an attic or closet bedroom could be a good alternative. Pick a dry, protected location, away from direct sunlight. This will keep the UV rays of the sun from damaging rubber and plastic components, and possibly creating corrosion.
Depending on which model you pick The scooter you select may come with a box or basket to help you shop. You can also attach an accessory for luggage to the frame and tow it behind you while riding.
They are small and light, which means they can be easily transported anywhere. Even in a busy city like San Francisco. They can be used to enjoy a relaxing stroll in the park, or spend an afternoon shopping or exploring an area you've always wanted to visit.
When looking for a portable scooter it's recommended to compare the weight of every model. This will help you decide which scooter is best for you. Additionally, you need to consider the battery's lifespan and capacity before deciding on the best scooter.

If you plan to store your scooter it is an excellent idea to spray an anti-rust or corrosion inhibitor on it. This is especially crucial in areas with high humidity. Avoid storing your scooter at extreme temperatures. Extreme temperatures can cause damage to the battery, while low temperatures can cause it breakdown.
Easy to operate
A travel scooter offers all the advantages of a mobility scooter, but in a more compact package. The controls are easy to use, and you can adjust the tiller so that you can place it in the most comfortable position for you.

We suggest storing your scooter in a climate-controlled area because extreme temperatures can alter the performance and longevity of lithium batteries. Keeping your scooter in close proximity to a source of power will also ensure optimal charging conditions.
It is crucial to keep your mobility scooter clean because dust can increase friction between moving parts and potentially cause damage to internal electrical components. Keeping your scooter in a shed or garage is ideal, however if you don't have the space for this, you can invest in an waterproof storage cover to keep your scooter safe from sunlight and rain. Some of these covers have security features like locks to deter theft.
Before you leave home Give your scooter a thorough inspection when you're ready to ride it again. Examine for signs of excessive wear or damage, such as a broken light, a bent handlebar, or tires or controls that are not in good condition. This will ensure that your mobility device is in good order and will continue to provide you with a long life span of years to come.
If you'd like to carry more luggage on your travel scooter, we have several accessories to help you do just that. Our Smart Luggage Kit comes with a carrier system which allows you to connect two smaller suitcases as well as a cabin-sized suitcase to the back of your travel scooter. We also recommend using two-wheel suitcases as they are more compact and can save you precious interior storage space. Two-wheel luggage also meets IATA air travel regulations regarding maximum dimensions for suitcases.

Travel scooters are also noted for their narrower turning radius. This allows them to navigate through tight spaces, such as the entrances of homes and apartments. Some even feature a front suspension that gives extra stability when driving over rough or uneven terrain.
It is crucial for your safety and health that you keep your scooter clean, dry and safe when you are on the move. Make sure that it is covered or covered with tarps at all times and keep it from being exposed to extreme weather conditions because this could reduce the battery's life and impact the condition of the frame and components.

Many airlines will allow them to be checked in baggage, or with a special approval. However, you could be required to show the manufacturer's certificate and other documentation that proves that the batteries meet their specifications. Certain airlines also have restrictions on the size and the type of battery you can bring on board. It is best to verify their guidelines and rules before you fly.
