Travel Scooter Travel scooters are designed to be highly transportable. Some fold, while others are disassembled into multiple easy-to-handle pieces. Our mobility scooters that are lightweight 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 even have a rear-mounted hitch to carry boxes or baskets. Lightweight The light structure of travel scooters makes them simple to lift and move. They are ideal for those who have to travel by car or plane. They can be easily stored in the trunk of a car or checked as baggage on planes. Our ultra-lightweight scooters utilize TIG-welded, heat-treated, aircraft-grade 7005 aluminum for the frames and other components. This type of welding creates stronger, cleaner welds that are more attractive compared to the common MIG welding used in many mobility scooters today. The frame of our lightweight mobility scooter weighs half as much as the competition. This allows you to transport your scooter over longer distances or over more difficult terrains. Additionally our scooters are designed with the rider's weight placed over the drive wheel. This reduces the tendency of front-wheel drive scooters to spin over uneven or inclines surfaces. The result is a smoother ride, and a substantial decrease in costly repairs caused by damage to the front wheel. Another advantage of our ultra-lightweight mobility scooters is their rubber tires that are solid. These tires are more durable than pneumatic tires (air) that are found on many scooters, and are more maneuverable on rough or unpaved roads. The solid rubber is also a lot more quiet than pneumatic tires and doesn't get caught or snagged by obstacles. When you select the right mobility scooter for your needs, it's important to take into consideration the weight of the scooter when it is fully assembled including battery. You can do this by using our filters at the top of the page to filter by product specifications such as “heaviest piece” which is the total weight of the chair and battery pack. Our scooters utilize the latest lithium-ion batteries which are extremely compact and light. They also feature a high-impact case that has a UL 94-5VB flame rating to ensure your safety. They are designed to last and are made of 100% Panasonic cells. The batteries are able to be quickly disassembled to transport them or make storage easier, when needed. Easy to Fold Travel scooters can fold up to fit into the trunk of your SUV or car. Some can even be broken into smaller pieces, making moving them much easier. This makes them ideal for air travel, as IATA luggage restrictions on the dimensions of suitcases are in place. You can purchase a scooter case which will shield your folding mobility wheelchair from moisture and scratches during transport. When not in use When not in use, you can put your scooter away in your garage, basement or attic. If you don't have access to these spaces then a spare bedroom or closet will do. Pick a dry, protected area, far from direct sunlight. This will stop the sun's UV rays damaging the plastic and rubber components, and possibly causing rust. Depending on which model you select, your scooter may include the option of a basket or box to help you shop. You can also connect the luggage hitch to the frame and tow it behind you while riding. The compact and light weight of these scooters mean they can be taken anywhere you go, even in a busy city like San Francisco. They can be used to enjoy a relaxing stroll in the park, spend time shopping, or discover an area you've always wanted to visit. When shopping for a scooter that can be used on the go it's recommended to compare the weight of each model. This will help you decide which one is the best fit for you. When you are choosing a scooter, you should also consider the battery's capacity and life span. If you're looking for a scooter which is easy to store, look for models that fold or quickly disassemble into a number of smaller parts. Some fold electronically with the press of a button, while others require you to remove the seat and manually collapse the unit. Before long-term storage of your scooter it's recommended to spray an anti-rust or corrosion inhibitor on it. This is particularly important in areas prone to humidity. Avoid storing your scooter at extreme temperatures. Extreme temperatures can cause damage to the battery, and low temperatures can cause it to breakdown. Simple to operate With a travel scooter, you get all the features of a regular mobility scooter in a compact package. The controls are simple to operate, and you can adjust the tiller so that you can place it in the most comfortable position for you. Many of the models we carry also feature long-lasting batteries and a convenient battery monitor. We suggest that you store your travel scooter in an area with an environment that is controlled, as extreme temperatures can impact the performance and lifespan of lithium batteries. Keeping your scooter close to a source of power will aid in maintaining optimal charging conditions. Keep your mobility scooter clean. Dust can cause friction between moving parts, which can damage internal electrical components. If you don't want store your scooter in a garage or shed, you can get an outdoor storage cover to shield it from rain and sunlight. Some of these covers come with security features like locks that deter theft. Before you leave your home Give your scooter a thorough inspection when you're ready to ride it again. Examine for signs of wear and tear or damage like a slack handlebar, broken lights, or missing tires or controls. This will ensure that your mobility device is in working condition and will keep you going for many years. We have a range of accessories that will enable you to carry more luggage with your travel scooter. Our Smart Luggage Kit includes a carrier system that lets you attach a cabin-sized suitcase to the front of your scooter and two smaller suitcases to its back. We also recommend two-wheel luggage because they are small and save you valuable storage space. Two-wheel suitcases also meet IATA air travel regulations regarding maximum dimensions for suitcases. Therefore, electric travel mobility scooters can travel with your scooter packed to the max without having to pay additional baggage fees. This is one of the major advantages that makes our travel scooters a fantastic alternative for frequent and vacation travelers alike. Easy to store Travel scooters can be cut into small, portable pieces for easy transport in your car. They can be conveniently stored in the trunk of your vehicle, or by your side on a train or bus, or checked in an airplane for long journeys. These lightweight scooters are also 95% pre-assembled which makes them simple to assemble on arrival at their destination. Some models even come with a convenient carry bag or case that is designed for ease of use and transportation. These bags have straps and handles that make it easier to carry the scooter over your arm or shoulder without straining your neck or back. This is especially helpful when you have to move your scooter from one mode of transport to another, or are planning to travel around the city. Almost all travel scooters come with a removable seat assembly that can be stored underneath the chassis or directly in the front of the user's feet when not in use. This makes the scooter smaller and easier to fit into tight spaces, and 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 entrances of homes and apartments. Some even feature a front suspension which provides additional stability when traveling through uneven or rough terrain. It is vital to your health and safety that you keep your travel scooter clean, dry and safe while in transit. Make sure to keep it covered or covered with tarps at all times and avoid exposing it to extreme weather conditions as this could reduce the battery's life and impact the condition of the frame and components. When you purchase your travel scooter, make sure to inquire with your airline regarding their specific rules and regulations regarding the use of mobility scooters ontoboard. Most airlines allow them with a specific approval, or when they are checked in luggage, but you may require a certification of the manufacturer and other evidence that shows that the batteries are in compliance with the specifications of the manufacturer. Some airlines also have restrictions on the size and type of batteries you can bring on board. It is recommended to read their guidelines and rules before you travel.
