Travel Scooter
Travel scooters are designed to be highly mobile. Some travel scooters fold, while others are disassembled into smaller pieces.
Our lightweight mobility scooters can ascend an incline of 8% and traverse cobblestone streets. The front tires are wider for better performance in rough terrain. Some models have a hitch mounted in the rear to carry boxes or baskets.
Lightweight
Travel scooters are lightweight and easy to transport. They are ideal for those who have to travel by car or plane. They can easily fit into the trunk of your car or be loaded as checked baggage on an airplane.
Our ultra-lightweight scooters make use of TIG-welded, heat-treated, aircraft grade 7005 aluminum for the frames and other parts. This type of welding produces welds that are more durable, cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing than the typical MIG welds found in virtually all other mobility scooters made today. This means that the frame of our lightest scooter weighs just half of the weight of the competition. This allows you to transport your scooter for longer distances and on more difficult terrain.
Our scooters are also constructed so that the rider's body weight is placed over the drivewheel. This eliminates the tendency for front-wheel-drives scooters to spin on uneven or sloped surfaces. The result is a smoother ride and a significant reduction in the costly repairs associated with front-wheel damage.
Another advantage of our ultra-light mobility scooters is their solid rubber tires. They are more durable than pneumatic (air) tires on the majority of scooters and are much easier to maneuver over rough or unpaved roads. The solid rubber is much quieter than pneumatic tires and doesn't catch or snag on obstacles.
When choosing the ideal mobility scooter for your needs, it is 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 specifications of the product, such as "heaviest piece" which specifies the combined weight of the chair and battery pack.
Our scooters are powered by the modern lithium-ion batteries that are extremely compact and light. The scooters also feature an extremely high-impact, flame-rated case with a UL944-5VB flame rating. They are built to last and are constructed of 100% Panasonic cells. They can be easily disassembled for transport or storage.
Easy to Fold
Travel scooters fold up easily and can be tucked away in the trunk of your van, car or SUV. Some of them even break down into smaller pieces for easier transportation. This makes them suitable for travel on planes, where IATA luggage restrictions on suitcase dimensions apply. You can also purchase a scooter case which will shield your mobility scooter from scratches and moisture while in transit.
When you're not using it When not in use, you can put your scooter away in your garage, basement or attic. If none of these options are accessible an attic or closet bedroom could be a good alternative. Pick a dry, shaded location, away from direct sunlight. This will prevent the sun's UV rays damaging rubber and plastic components, and even creating corrosion.
Depending on the model you pick, your scooter may include an accessory basket or box to make shopping easier. You can also attach a luggage hitch to the frame, and tow it behind you while riding.
These scooters are small and light, so they can be easily transported anywhere. Even in a busy city like San Francisco. They can be used to enjoy an easy stroll in the park, spend time shopping, or discover a new destination that you've always wanted.
When you are looking for a scooter that can be used on the go, it's a good idea to compare the weight of every model. This will help you decide which scooter is best for you. When you are choosing a scooter, you should also think about the battery's capacity and life span.
If you are looking for a scooter which is easy to store, look for models that fold or quickly disassemble into several smaller parts. Some scooters fold with the press of a single button, whereas others require you to take off the seat and manually collapse it.
If you plan to store your scooter it's a good idea for you to spray an anti-rust or corrosion inhibitor on it. This is particularly crucial in areas with high humidity. Avoid storing your scooter in extreme temperatures. Extreme temperatures can cause damage to the battery, and low temperatures could cause it to break down.
Easy to Operate
With a travel scooter, you get all the features of a regular mobility scooter in a compact size. The controls are easy to operate, and you can adjust the tiller to place it in the most comfortable position for you. A majority of the models we offer have long-lasting batteries, as well as an easy-to-use battery monitor.
We suggest that you store your travel scooter in a place that has an environment that is controlled, as extreme temperatures can affect the performance and life of lithium batteries. Keep your scooter near a power supply to ensure optimal charging.
It is essential to keep your mobility scooter clean, because dust can increase friction between moving parts and potentially damage internal electrical components. Keeping your scooter in a shed or garage is ideal, however if you don't have the space you could consider purchasing a waterproof storage cover to keep your scooter safe from rain and sunlight. Some of these covers have security features like locks to prevent theft.
When you're ready to go again, make sure you give your scooter a quick check before leaving the house. Check for signs of excessive wear and tear or deterioration such as a broken handlebar, broken lights or even missing controls or tires. This will ensure that your mobility scooter is prepared to take off and will provide you with reliable service for years to come.
If you'd like to carry more luggage on your travel scooter, we have numerous accessories that will assist you in doing just that. Our Smart Luggage Kit includes a carrier system that lets you attach a cabin-sized suitcase the front of your scooter and two smaller suitcases to its back. We also recommend using two-wheel suitcases since they are smaller and can save you precious interior storage space. Furthermore, two-wheeled suitcases comply with IATA air-travel regulations regarding the maximum dimensions of a suitcase. This means that you can fly with your entire scooter without having to pay additional baggage fees. This is a major advantage that makes our travel scooters a great alternative for frequent and vacation travelers alike.
Easy to Store
Travel scooters break into small and lightweight pieces that are easy to transport in your vehicle. They can easily fit in the trunk of a car, or at your side while on a bus or train, or checked into an airplane for long trips. These lightweight scooters are also 90% pre-assembled which makes them simple for users to put together upon arrival at their destination.
Some models come with a convenient carrying bag or case for ease of transportation and use. These bags are equipped with handles and straps, which make it easier for users to carry the scooter by hand over their arm or shoulder without straining their neck or back. This is especially helpful when you have to move your scooter between public transportation options or between various vehicles for local transportation.
Most travel scooters have seats that can be stored under the chassis or in the front of the feet of the user when the scooter isn't being used. This allows the scooter to be stored in small spaces and makes it smaller. It also gives users access to any additional features, such as an in-front caddy or basket.
Travel scooters are also known for their smaller turning radius. This allows them to maneuver through tight spaces, such as the doors of homes and apartments. Some even come with a front suspension that gives extra stability when driving over uneven or rough terrain.
It is vital for your safety and health to keep your travel scooter clean, dry and safe during your travels. Keep it covered by a tarp or a cover at all times. Avoid exposing it to extreme conditions, as this will affect the battery's life and harm the frame and other components.
Also, before purchasing your travel scooter, be certain to inquire with your airline about their specific rules and regulations regarding the use of mobility scooters ontoboard. The majority of airlines allow them to be carried in checked baggage, or with a special approval. However, mymobilityscooters could be required to provide the manufacturer's certification and documentation that proves that the batteries conform to the specifications of the manufacturer. Some airlines have limitations on the kind and size of battery that you can bring with you, so it is a good idea to study their guidelines and rules before you travel.
