Travel Scooter
Travel scooters have been developed to be extremely lightweight. Some fold down, while others break into multiple easy-to-handle pieces.
Our mobility scooters that are lightweight can ascend an 8% incline and travel over cobblestone roads. They also come with wider front tires to provide better performance on rough terrain. Some models also have a rear-mounted hitch to carry boxes or baskets.
Lightweight
Travel scooters are lightweight and easy to transport. This is why they're ideal for anyone who has to travel, whether via plane or by car. They can easily be tucked away in the trunk of a vehicle or checked as baggage on planes.
Our ultra-lightweight scooters utilize TIG-welded, heated-treated, aircraft-grade 7005 aluminum for the frames and other components. This type of welding creates stronger, more durable welds that are more attractive in comparison to the standard MIG welds that are commonly found in mobility scooters today. The frame of our lightest mobility scooter weighs half the weight of the competitors. This means that you can carry your scooter with greater comfort over larger distances and tougher terrain.
Additionally, our scooters are designed with the rider's weight positioned over the drive wheel. This eliminates the tendency of front-wheel-drive scooters to spin around on uneven surfaces or inclines. This results in a smoother ride and a significant reduction in the expensive repairs associated with front-wheel damage.
Another advantage of our ultra-light mobility scooters is their solid rubber tires. These tires are much more durable than the pneumatic (air) tires on the majority of scooters and are easier to maneuver over rough or unpaved roads. The solid rubber is also much quieter than pneumatic tires and does not snag or get caught on obstacles.
