Travel Scooter
Travel scooters have been developed to be extremely lightweight. Some fold, while others are broken down into smaller pieces.
Our mobility scooters that are lightweight are able to traverse cobblestone roads and climb an 8.8% slope. The front tires are larger to give better performance in rough terrain. Some models have a hitch mounted at the rear for carrying boxes or baskets.
Lightweight
The light-weight structure of travel scooters makes them simple to lift and transport. This is why they're ideal for anyone who needs to travel, whether via plane or car. They are easy to fit into the trunk of your car or be checked as baggage on an airplane.
Our ultra-lightweight Scooters utilize heat-treated 7005 aircraft-grade aluminum TIG-welded for frames and other parts. This type of welding creates stronger, cleaner welds and are more attractive as opposed to the typical MIG welds that are commonly found in mobility scooters today. The frame of our lightweight mobility scooter weighs half as much as that of the competition. This allows you to carry your scooter for longer distances or on more difficult terrains.
Additionally our scooters are constructed with the rider's weight positioned over the drive wheel. This reduces the tendency of front-wheel-drive scooters to spin around on uneven or inclines. This results in a smoother ride, as well as a significant reduction in the cost of repairs caused by damage to the front wheel.
Another advantage of our ultra-lightweight mobility scooters is their rubber tires that are solid. They are more durable than pneumatic (air) tires found on the majority of scooters, and are more comfortable to maneuver over rough roads and unpaved roads. Rubber tires that are solid are quieter than pneumatics, and they don't stick to obstacles.
When choosing the best mobility scooter for your needs, it's crucial to consider the weight of the scooter once it is fully assembled including battery. Use our filters at top of the page to sort products according to specifications, like "heaviest pieces" which specifies combined weight of chair and battery pack.
Our scooters are powered by the latest lithium-ion batteries which are extremely compact and lightweight. They also have an impact-resistant case that has a UL 94-5VB flame rating to ensure your safety. These batteries are made of 100% Panasonic cells and are constructed to last for a long time. The batteries can be quickly disassembled to transport them or simplify storage, when needed.
Easy to Fold
Travel scooters can be folded up to fit in the trunk of your car or SUV. They can also be broken into smaller pieces, making transportation simpler. They are perfect for air travel, where IATA luggage regulations for suitcase dimensions apply. You can purchase a scooter case that will protect your mobility scooter from scratches and moisture while in transit.
When not in use You can keep your scooter in your garage or basement. If these areas aren't available to you, a closet or spare bedroom should work just fine. It is important to select a dry and sheltered area that is not in direct sunlight, to stop the sunlight's rays from damaging the rubber and plastic components and potentially cause rust.
Depending on which model you choose, your scooter may include an accessory basket or box to help you shop. You can also put the luggage hitch to the frame and pull it behind while riding.
The light and compact nature of these scooters ensures you can carry them anywhere you go even in a crowded city like San Francisco. They can be used for an enjoyable stroll through the park, or spend time shopping, or discover a new destination that you've always wanted.
It's a great idea to compare the weights of different models when you are shopping for the best scooter. This can help you determine which one is the best for you. When choosing a scooter, you should also think about the battery's capacity and life span.
Find scooters that fold or disassembled easily into smaller pieces. Some scooters fold at the push of a single button, while other require you to remove the seat manually and fold it.
Before long-term storage of your scooter, it's an excellent idea to spray an anti-rust or corrosion inhibitor on it. This is especially important in areas prone to humidity. It is also recommended to not store your scooter in extreme temperatures because high temperatures can harm the battery, while low temperatures can cause it to break down and freeze.
Easy to Operate
all terrain electric mobility scooter offers all the advantages of a mobility scooter but in a smaller package. The controls are simple to operate and you can adjust the tiller to place it in the most comfortable position for you. Certain models come with long-lasting batteries, and a battery monitor.
We suggest storing your travel scooter in a climate-controlled area because extreme temperatures can affect the performance and life of lithium batteries. Keep your scooter near an electrical source for optimal charging.
It is crucial to keep your mobility scooter clean, since dust can increase the friction between moving parts and potentially end up damaging internal electrical components. Keeping your scooter in a shed or garage is ideal, but if you don't have the space for this, you can invest in an waterproof storage cover to keep your scooter safe from rain and sunlight. Some of these covers include security features, like locks that stop theft.
Before you leave home Give your scooter a thorough inspection before you're ready to take it again. Check for signs of excessive wear or deterioration such as a damaged light, a sagging handlebar or missing tires or controls. This can 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 will enable you to carry more luggage your travel scooter. Our Smart Luggage Kit comes with an accessory system that allows you to connect two smaller suitcases and a cabin-sized suitcase to the back of your travel scooter. We also recommend using two-wheeled suitcases since they are more compact and can save you precious interior storage space. Furthermore, two-wheeled suitcases are compliant with IATA air-travel regulations regarding the maximum dimensions of suitcases. You can therefore travel with your scooter packed to the max without having to pay additional baggage fees. This is an advantage that makes our travel scooters a great option for vacationers and frequent travelers alike.
Easy to Store
Travel scooters break into lightweight and portable pieces that are easy to carry in your vehicle. They can easily fit into the trunk of a car, or at your side while on trains or buses or even in an airplane for long journeys. These scooters that are lightweight are 95% pre-assembled and are easy to assemble on arrival at their destination.
Some models even feature bags for carrying or a case designed for easy use and transportation. These bags are outfitted with handles and straps which allow users to carry the scooter with their hands over their arm or shoulder without straining their neck or back. This is particularly helpful if you need to transfer your scooter between public transportation or between vehicles for local travel.
The majority of travel-related scooters have an adjustable seat that can be stored beneath the chassis or in front of the user's feet when the scooter isn't being used. This allows the scooter to be stored in small spaces and makes it smaller. It also gives riders access to additional features, including the front caddy or a basket.
Travel scooters are also renowned for their narrower turning radius. This allows them to navigate through tight spaces, such as the entrances of homes and apartments. Some travel scooters have front-wheel suspensions to give additional stability on terrain that is uneven.
It is essential to your safety and health that you keep your scooter clean, dry and secure while in transit. Cover it with a tarp or cover at all times. Avoid exposing it to extreme conditions that could decrease the battery's lifespan and impact the frame and components.
If you are considering purchasing a mobility scooter for travel, make sure you check with your airline to find out what their regulations and rules are regarding the use of mobility devices onboard. Most airlines will allow them with a special approval, or even in checked luggage, but you may require a manufacturer's certificate or other documentation which proves that the batteries comply with the specifications of the manufacturer. Certain airlines also have restrictions on the kind and size of battery that you can carry and it is a good idea to study their guidelines and rules before you travel.
