Travel Scooter
Travel scooters are designed to be extremely mobile. Some fold, while others are disassembled into smaller pieces.
Our lightweight mobility scooters can navigate cobblestone roads and climb up an 8.8% slope. They also have wider front tires for better performance on rough terrain. Some models also come with a rear-mounted hitch that can be used for carrying baskets or boxes.
Lightweight
Travel scooters are light and easy to carry. 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 checked as baggage on a flight.
Our ultra-lightweight Scooters utilize aluminum that has been treated with heat and then TIG-welded for frames and other parts. This type of welding produces welds that are stronger, more durable and more attractive than the common MIG welding used in nearly all other mobility scooters manufactured today. The frame of our lightest mobility scooter weighs just half as much as the competitors. This lets you carry your scooter for longer distances or on more difficult terrains.
Additionally our scooters are constructed with the rider's weight placed over the drive wheel. This reduces the tendency of front-wheel-drives scooters to spin on uneven or inclines surfaces. The result is a more smooth ride, and a significant reduction in the costly repairs that are required for front-wheel damage.
Solid rubber tires are an additional benefit of our ultralightweight mobility scooters. These tires are much more durable than pneumatic (air) tires that are found on many scooters, and are more comfortable to maneuver over rough roads and unpaved roads. Rubber tires that are solid are quieter than pneumatics and don't get caught on obstacles.
When you select the right mobility scooter for your needs, it is important to take into consideration 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. You can filter by specifications of the product, such as "heaviest piece" which indicates the combined weight of the chair and battery pack.
Our scooters are equipped with the most modern lithium-ion battery technology, which is extremely light and compact. electric mobility scooters for adults near me have an extremely high-impact, flame-rated case with an flame rating of UL944-5VB. These batteries are built to last and are made entirely of Panasonic cells. The batteries are able to be disassembled easily for transport or storage.
Easy to Fold
Travel scooters fold up easily to fit in the trunk of your van, car or SUV. Some are even able to be broken down into smaller pieces to make transportation simpler. This makes them ideal for travel on planes, where IATA luggage limitations on dimensions of suitcases apply. You can also buy a scooter case that is specifically designed to protect your folding mobility scooter from scuffs and moisture while in transit.
You can store your scooter in the garage, basement or attic when it's not in use. If these spaces aren't available to you, a closet or spare bedroom should work just fine. It's crucial to choose an area that is dry and protected away from direct sunlight to avoid the sun's rays from destroying the rubber and plastic components and causing corrosion.
Depending on the model you select, the scooter may come with either an organizer or a basket to help you with your shopping requirements. You can also attach the luggage hitch on the frame and pull it behind you while riding.
The small and light weight of these scooters means that you can take them anywhere you go even in a crowded city like San Francisco. They can be used to enjoy an enjoyable stroll through the park, or spend an afternoon shopping or exploring the new place you've always wanted.
It's a great idea to compare the weights of different models when shopping for scooters. This will help you determine which one is best for you. When you are choosing a scooter, you should also think about the battery's capacity and life span.
Find scooters that can be folded or easily disassembled into smaller pieces. Some scooters fold with the push of a single button, while others require that you remove the seat and manually collapse it.
It's also recommended to apply an anti-rust spray or corrosion inhibitor to your scooter before long-term storage particularly in areas that are prone to humidity and other environmental factors that may affect the condition of your scooter. Avoid storing your scooter at extreme temperatures. Extreme temperatures can cause damage to the battery, and low temperatures can cause it breakdown.
Simple to Operate
With a travel scooter, you get all the comforts of a regular mobility scooter in a compact. The controls are simple to operate and you are able to adjust your tiller to a position that is most comfortable for you. Certain models include long-lasting batteries and an electronic battery monitor.
We recommend that you store your scooter in a place that has an environment that is controlled, as extreme temperatures can affect the performance and longevity of lithium batteries. Keep your scooter in close proximity to a source of power can also help maintain optimal charging conditions.
It is essential to keep your mobility scooter clean, as dust can increase the friction between moving parts and end up damaging internal electrical components. Keeping your scooter in a shed or garage is ideal, however if you don't have the space for this then you should consider investing in a waterproof storage cover to keep your scooter safe from rain and sunlight. Some of these covers have security features such as locks that prevent theft.
When you're ready to ride again, be sure to give your scooter a quick check before leaving the house. Examine for signs of wear or damage, such as a damaged light, a loose handlebar or missing controls or tires. This will ensure that your mobility device is in good order and will continue to provide you with a long life span of years.
We have a range of accessories that will allow 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 attach two smaller suitcases as well as a cabin-sized suitcase to the back of your travel scooter. We also recommend two-wheel suitcases because they are small and save you valuable storage space. In addition, two-wheel suitcases are compliant with IATA air-travel regulations regarding the maximum dimensions of suitcases. Therefore, you can fly with your entire scooter without having to pay additional baggage fees. This is a major advantage that makes our travel scooters an excellent option for frequent travelers as well.
Easy to Store
Travel scooters break into small and lightweight pieces that are easy to carry in your vehicle. They can easily fit in the trunk of a car, at your side on a bus or train or even tucked into an airplane for long trips. These lightweight scooters are with a 95% assembly making it simple for the user to put them together them once they arrive at their destination.
Some models come with a carrying bag or case for ease of transportation and use. These bags have straps and handles that make it easy to carry the scooter over your shoulder or arm, without straining your neck or back. This is especially helpful if you have to transfer your scooter from one mode of transport to another, or if you are planning to travel around the city.
Almost all travel scooters have an adjustable seat that can be stored beneath the chassis or right in the front of the feet of the user when not in use. This makes the scooter smaller and easier to fit into restricted spaces. It also allows users to access any other features they might need such as a front basket or caddy.
Travel scooters are also known for their narrower turning radius. This allows them to maneuver through tight spaces, such as the doors of apartments and homes. Some travel scooters have an front-wheel suspension that provides extra stability when riding on uneven terrain.
It is crucial to your health and safety that you keep your travel scooter safe, dry, and clean while in transit. Make sure to keep it covered or tarp-covered at all times and avoid exposing it to extreme weather conditions because this can reduce its battery's lifespan and affect the condition of the frame and other components.
When you purchase a mobility scooter for travel, make sure you contact your airline to see what their regulations and rules apply to bringing mobility devices onto the plane. Most airlines will allow them to be checked in baggage, or with a special approval. However, you may be required to provide the manufacturer's certification and documentation that proves that the batteries conform to their specifications. Certain airlines also have restrictions on the kind and size of batteries you can carry and it is recommended to research their rules and guidelines before you fly.
