Travel Scooter
Travel scooters are designed to be extremely portable. Some fold down, while others break into multiple easy-to-handle pieces.
Our lightweight mobility scooters can navigate cobblestone roads as well as climb an 8percent slope. They also come with wider front tires for better performance on rough terrain. Some models come with a hitch mounted at the rear to carry baskets or boxes.
Lightweight
The light structure of travel scooters makes them easy to carry and lift. This is why they are perfect for those who need to travel by plane or car. They can easily fit into the trunk of your vehicle or be loaded as checked baggage on a flight.
Our ultra-lightweight scooters use TIG-welded, heated-treated, aircraft-grade 7005 aluminum for frames and other components. This type of welding creates welds that are stronger, cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing than the standard MIG welds used in virtually all other mobility scooters manufactured today. As a result, the frame of our lightweight scooter weighs less than half the weight of its competition. This means you'll be able to transport your scooter with greater comfort over larger distances and more difficult terrain.
In addition our scooters are designed with the user's weight placed over the drive wheel. This reduces the tendency of front-wheel-drive scooters to spin out on uneven or inclines. This results in a smoother ride and a significant reduction in the costly repairs associated with front-wheel damage.
Another benefit of our ultra-lightweight mobility scooters is their rubber tires that are solid. These tires are far more durable than the pneumatic (air) tires on many scooters and are easier to navigate over rough roads or unpaved ones. Rubber tires that are solid are quieter than pneumatics and do not stick to obstacles.
When you select the right mobility scooter for your needs, it is crucial to consider the total weight of the scooter once it is 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 fitted with the latest lithium-ion battery technology, which is extremely compact and light. They also have a high-impact case with a UL 94-5VB flame rating to ensure your safety. They are made to last and are constructed entirely of Panasonic cells. The batteries can be quickly disassembled for transport or to facilitate storage when needed.
Easy to Fold
Travel scooters can be folded into a compact size to fit inside the trunk of your car or SUV. Some are even able to be disassembled into smaller pieces to make transporting them simpler. This makes them perfect for travel on planes, where IATA luggage limitations on dimensions of suitcases apply. You can also purchase a scooter bag that will protect your mobility scooter from moisture and scratches while in transit.
You can put your scooter in the garage, basement or attic when it's not in use. If you do not have access to these places an extra bedroom or closet is sufficient. It is important to select an area that is dry and protected that is not in direct sunlight, to prevent the sun's rays from breaking down rubber and plastic components, and potentially causing corrosion.
Depending on the model that you choose, the scooter could come with either an organizer or a basket to help you with your shopping requirements. You can also attach a luggage hitch to the frame, towing it behind you while riding.
The light and compact nature of these scooters means you can carry them everywhere you go even in a bustling city like San Francisco. You can use them to go for a walk in the park or go shopping. They are also great for exploring a new place you've always wanted to visit.
It's a good idea compare the weights of different models when you are shopping for scooters. This will help you determine which one is suitable for you. Additionally, you need to take into account the battery's life span and capacity when selecting the best scooter.
If you're looking for a scooter that is easy to store, look for models that fold or quickly disassemble into smaller pieces. Some scooters fold with the push of a button, while other require that you remove the seat and manually collapse it.
In the event of long-term storage for your scooter, it's a good idea for you to spray an anti-rust or corrosion inhibitor on it. This is particularly important in areas prone to humidity. Avoid storing mymobilityscooters at extreme temperatures. High temperatures can damage the battery, and low temperatures can cause it to break down.
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 to put it in the most comfortable position for you. A majority of the models we sell have long-lasting batteries, as well as a handy battery monitor.
We recommend that you store your travel scooter in an area with a controlled climate, as extreme temperatures can affect the performance and life of lithium batteries. Keeping your scooter in close proximity to a power source will also ensure optimal charging conditions.
Make sure your mobility scooter is clean. Dust can cause friction between moving parts, which could damage internal electrical components. The idea of keeping your scooter in a garage or shed is ideal, however if you don't have enough space, you can invest in a waterproof storage cover to protect your scooter from sun and rain. Some of these covers include security features like locks that stop theft.
When you are ready to ride again, be 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 even missing controls or tires. This will ensure that your mobility device is in working condition and will continue to serve you well for many years.
We have a range of accessories that enable you to carry more luggage on your travel scooter. Our Smart Luggage Kit comes with the ability to carry a carrier system that 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-wheeled suitcases as they are smaller which means you can save precious interior storage space. Furthermore, two-wheeled suitcases comply with IATA air-travel regulations on maximum suitcase dimensions. This means you can travel with your scooter packed with all the gear you need without having to pay additional baggage fees. Our travel scooters are a fantastic option for vacationers as well as frequent travellers.
Easy to store
Travel scooters can be cut into small, portable pieces for easy transportation in your car. They can be easily stored in the trunk of your vehicle, or by your side on a bus or train or even checked into an airplane for long trips. These lightweight scooters are 95% assembled, making it easy for the user to assemble them when they reach their destination.
Some models even feature an easy-to-carry bag or case designed for easy transport and use. These bags have straps and handles that allow you to carry the scooter over your shoulder or arm, without stressing your back or neck. This is especially useful when you have to move your scooter from one mode of transport to another, or need to travel within a certain area.
Almost all travel scooters come with an adjustable seat that can be stored under the chassis or right in the front of the feet of the user when not in use. This allows the scooter to be stored in smaller spaces and is more compact. It also gives users access to additional features, such as the front caddy or a basket.
Travel scooters are also known for their narrower turning radius. This allows them to maneuver through tight spaces, such as the entrances of apartments and homes. Some even feature a front wheel suspension that gives extra stability when driving over rough or uneven terrain.
Maintaining your scooter's cleanliness and safe while in transit is vital for your safety and health. Be sure to keep it covered or covered with tarps and avoid exposing it to extreme weather conditions because this can decrease its battery life and impact the condition of the frame and other components.
Also, before purchasing your travel scooter, make sure to check with your airline regarding their specific rules and regulations for bringing mobility scooters onboard. Many airlines will allow them to be checked in baggage, or with a special approval. However, you might be required to present the manufacturer's certification and documentation that proves that the batteries conform to the specifications of the manufacturer. Certain airlines also have restrictions on the kind and size of battery that you can bring with you and it is a good idea to read their guidelines and rules before you fly.
