Travel Scooter
Travel scooters have been developed to be extremely portable. Some fold, while others disassemble into multiple pieces that are easy to handle.
Our mobility scooters that are lightweight can navigate cobblestone roads and climb an 8.8% slope. They also have wider front tires for better performance on rough terrain. Some models come with a hitch that is mounted at the rear for carrying boxes or baskets.
Lightweight
Travel scooters are lightweight and easy to transport. They are perfect for those who have to travel by plane or vehicle. They can easily fit in the trunk of your car or be carried as checked baggage on an airplane.
Our ultra-lightweight scooters make use of TIG-welded, heated-treated, aircraft-grade 7005 aluminum for the frames and other components. This type of welding produces stronger, more durable welds that are more appealing aesthetically as opposed to the typical MIG welds that are commonly found in mobility scooters today. The frame of our lightest mobility scooter weighs just half as much as that of the competitors. This lets you carry your scooter over longer distances and on more difficult terrains.
In addition our scooters are constructed with the rider's weight placed over the drive wheel. This reduces the tendency of front-wheel drive scooters to spin around on uneven or inclines. The result is a much more smooth ride, and a significant reduction in the costly repairs associated with front-wheel damage.
Solid rubber tires are an additional advantage of our ultralightweight mobility scooters. These tires are far more durable than the pneumatic (air) tires on most scooters and are easier to navigate on rough roads or unpaved ones. The solid rubber is also much quieter than pneumatic tires and does not get caught or snagged by obstacles.
It is crucial to consider the weight of the entire mobility scooter, including the battery, when choosing the best one for your needs. You can do this by using our filters at the top of the page to sort by product specifications, for example "heaviest piece" which specifies the combined weight of the chair and battery pack.
Our scooters use the very modern lithium-ion batteries, which are extremely compact and light. The scooters also feature an extremely high-impact, flame-rated case with an flame rating of UL944-5VB. These batteries are made of 100% Panasonic cells and are constructed to last. The batteries are able to be quickly removed for transportation or to make storage easier, should it be required.
Easy to Fold
Travel scooters can fold up to fit in the trunk of your SUV or car. Some even disassemble into several smaller pieces for easier transport. They are great for air travel, where IATA luggage regulations on dimensions of suitcases are in effect. You can also purchase a scooter case which will shield your folding mobility wheelchair from moisture and scratches during transport.
If you don't want to use it When not in use, you can store your scooter in your garage, basement or attic. If these areas aren't available to you then a closet or spare bedroom will do just fine. It's important to choose a dry and sheltered area that is not in direct sunlight, to prevent the sunlight's rays from damaging plastic and rubber components and potentially causing corrosion.
Depending on the model that you select, the scooter may include an organizer or a basket to assist you with your shopping requirements. You can also connect the luggage hitch on the frame and tow it behind while riding.
The small and light weight of these scooters means they can be taken everywhere you go even in a bustling city like San Francisco. You can take them for a stroll through the park or shop. They are also ideal for exploring a new city that you have always wanted to visit.
It's a good idea to look at the weights of different models when you are shopping for the best scooter. This will help you determine which model is right for you. Also, make talks about it to consider the battery's lifespan and capacity when choosing the best scooter.
Find scooters that can be folded or easily disassembled into smaller pieces. Some scooters fold at the push of a button, while others require you to take off the seat and manually collapse it.
It's also a good idea to apply an anti-rust spray or corrosion inhibitor to your scooter before long-term storage, especially in areas that are prone to humidity and other environmental factors that may impact its condition. It is also recommended to not store your scooter in extreme temperatures because high temperatures can harm the battery and low temperatures can cause it to melt and freeze.
Simple to Operate
With a travel scooter, you have all the convenience of a regular mobility scooter in a compact size. The controls are simple to use and you can adjust your tiller to a position that is most comfortable for you. Certain models include long-lasting batteries and a battery monitor.
We recommend that you store your scooter in a climate-controlled location because extreme temperatures can impact the performance and lifespan of lithium batteries. Keep your scooter close to an electric source to ensure that it is charged properly.
Clean your mobility scooter. Dust can cause friction between moving parts, which could cause damage to electrical components within the. If you don't want to keep your scooter in the garage or shed, you can get a waterproof storage cover that will protect it from rain and sunlight. Some of these covers include security features such as locks to prevent theft.
When you're ready to go again, make sure to give your scooter a thorough inspection before you leave the house. Examine for signs of wear and tear or deterioration like a slack handlebar, damaged lights, or missing tires or controls. This can help ensure that your mobility scooter is prepared to go and will provide you with dependable service for years to come.
If you're looking to carry more luggage on your travel scooter, we offer various accessories to help you do just that. Our Smart Luggage Kit includes a carrier system that allows you to attach a cabin-sized suitcase to the front of your scooter and two smaller suitcases to its back. We also recommend using two-wheel suitcases as they are smaller and can save you valuable interior storage space. Two-wheel suitcases also comply with IATA air travel regulations regarding the maximum dimensions of a suitcase. You can therefore travel with your scooter filled to the max without having to pay additional baggage charges. This is an advantage that makes our travel scooters a great option for frequent travelers as well.
Easy to store
Travel scooters can be cut into smaller, compact pieces for easy transport in your car. They can be conveniently stored in the trunk of your vehicle, or by your side on a bus or train, or checked in an airplane for long journeys. These lightweight scooters are fully assembled and are easy for the user to assemble them once they arrive at their destination.
Some models come with a carrying bag or case that allows for easy transport and use. The bags are fitted with straps and handles, which make it easier for users to hold the scooter with one hand over their shoulder or arm without straining their neck or back. This is especially helpful when you need to transfer your scooter from one mode of transport to another, or if you want to travel locally.
Most travel scooters have an adjustable seat that can be stored under the chassis or directly in front of the user's feet when not in use. This makes the scooter smaller and easier for storage in small spaces, and also allows riders to access any additional 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, such as the doors of homes and apartments. Some travel scooters feature front-wheel suspensions to give additional stability on terrain that is uneven.
Maintaining your scooter's cleanliness and safe while in transit is important for your safety and health. Make sure it is covered by a tarp or a cover at all times. Avoid exposure to extreme conditions, as this will affect the battery's life and harm the frame and components.
When purchasing a travel scooter, make sure you contact your airline to determine what their rules and regulations are regarding the use of mobility devices aboard. Many airlines will allow them in checked baggage, or with a special approval. However, you could be required to show the manufacturer's certification and documentation proving that the batteries meet the specifications of the manufacturer. Some carriers also have restrictions on the type and size of batteries you can bring with you, so it is recommended to study their guidelines and rules before you fly.
