Travel Scooter
Travel scooters are designed to be extremely portable. Some fold, while others are broken down into smaller pieces.
Our lightweight mobility scooters can navigate cobblestone roads as well as climb an 8% slope. They also have wider front tires for better performance on rough terrain. Some models have a hitch that is mounted in the rear to carry baskets or boxes.
Lightweight
Travel scooters are light and easy to move. They are ideal for those who have to travel by plane or vehicle. They can easily be tucked away in the trunk of a car or checked as baggage on a plane.
Our ultra-lightweight scooters utilize TIG-welded, heat-treated, aircraft grade 7005 aluminum for the frames and other components. This type of welding results in welds that are more durable, cleaner and more attractive than the typical MIG welds used in virtually every other mobility scooter made today. This means that the frame of our lightest scooter weighs less than half as much as the competition. This allows you to carry your scooter for longer distances or on more difficult terrains.
Additionally our scooters are designed with the rider's weight positioned over the drive wheel. This reduces the tendency of front-wheel-driven scooters to spin on uneven or inclines surfaces. The result is a more comfortable ride, as well as a significant reduction in the cost of repairs due to front-wheel damage.
Another benefit of our ultra-light mobility scooters is their solid rubber tires. They are more durable than pneumatic tires (air) found on most scooters, and are easier to maneuver over rough roads or unpaved ones. The solid rubber is a lot more quiet than pneumatic tires and doesn't get caught or snagged by obstacles.
When choosing mymobilityscooters.uk for your needs, it's important to take into consideration the 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 product specifications such as "heaviest piece" which specifies the combined weight of the battery pack and the chair.
Our scooters are powered by the modern lithium-ion batteries, which are extremely compact and light. The scooters also come with an extremely high-impact, flame-rated case with a flame rating of UL944-5VB. These batteries are designed to last and made entirely of Panasonic cells. The batteries can be easily removed for transportation or to facilitate storage when required.
Easy to Fold
Travel scooters can be folded up to fit in the trunk of your car or SUV. They can also be broken down into smaller pieces to make transporting them easier. This makes them suitable for travel on planes, where IATA luggage limitations on dimensions of suitcases apply. You can purchase a scooter case that will protect your mobility scooter from scratches and moisture during transport.
When not in use, you can easily store your scooter in your garage, basement or attic. If these areas aren't available then a closet or spare bedroom should work just fine. Pick a dry, shaded area, far from direct sunlight. This will prevent the sun's UV rays damaging rubber and plastic components, and possibly causing corrosion.
Based on the model you choose, the scooter might include a basket or box to help you with your shopping needs. You can also attach a luggage hitch to the frame, and tow it behind you when riding.
These scooters are small and light, so they can be easily transported anywhere. Even in a busy city like San Francisco. They can be used for an enjoyable stroll through the park, spend an afternoon shopping or exploring an area you've always wanted to visit.
It's a good idea to look at the weights of different models when you are shopping for scooters. This will help you decide which model is right for you. Also, make sure to consider the battery's lifespan and capacity when selecting the right scooter.
If you're looking for a scooter which is easy to store, look for models that fold up or disassemble into several smaller parts. Some scooters fold at the push of a single button, whereas others require that you remove the seat and then manually fold it.
It's also recommended to apply an anti-rust spray or corrosion inhibitor on your scooter prior to long-term storage particularly in areas that are prone to humidity and other environmental factors that may affect the condition of your scooter. It is also recommended to not store your scooter in extreme temperatures as high temps can damage the battery and low temperatures can cause it to freeze and break down.
Simple to operate
A travel scooter provides all the benefits of a mobility scooter, but in a smaller package. The controls are simple to use, and you can adjust the tiller to place it in the most comfortable position for you. Certain models come with long-lasting batteries, and an electronic battery monitor.
We recommend storing your travel scooter in a climate-controlled area, as extreme temperatures can impact the performance and lifespan of lithium batteries. Maintaining your scooter close to a power source will also ensure optimal charging conditions.
It is essential to keep your mobility scooter clean, as dust can increase the friction between moving parts and potentially end up damaging internal electrical components. If you don't want to store your scooter in the garage or shed, you can get an outdoor storage cover that will protect it from rain and sunlight. Some of these covers include security features, like locks that stop theft.
Before you leave home Make sure you give your scooter a once-over before you set out to ride it again. Check for signs of excessive wear and tear or deterioration 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 provide you with a long life span of years to come.
If you're looking to carry more luggage on your travel scooter, we offer various accessories to aid you in that. Our Smart Luggage Kit includes a carrier system that lets you attach a cabin-sized luggage to the front of your scooter and two smaller suitcases to its back. We also recommend using two-wheel suitcases because they are more compact which means you can save precious interior storage space. Two-wheel suitcases also comply with IATA air travel regulations for maximum suitcase dimensions. As a result, you can fly with your entire scooter load without having to pay extra baggage charges. This is a major advantage that makes our travel scooters a fantastic option for vacationers and frequent travelers as well.
Easy to Store
Travel scooters can be cut into small, portable pieces that can be easily transported in your car. They can easily fit into the trunk of a car, or at your side on trains or buses or even in an airplane for long journeys. These lightweight scooters are also 95% pre-assembled and are easy for users to put together upon arrival at their destination.
Some models come with a handy carrying bag or case for easy transport and use. These bags are equipped with handles and straps, which make it easier for users to hold the scooter with one hand over their arm or shoulder without straining their back or neck. This is especially helpful when you have to transfer your scooter from one mode of transport to another, or are planning to travel around the city.
The majority of travel scooters come with seats that can be stored under the chassis or in front of the user's feet when the scooter is not being used. This makes the scooter smaller and more compact for storage in 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 noted for their smaller turning radius. This allows them to navigate through tight spaces, such as the entrances of homes and apartments. Some even feature a front wheel suspension that gives extra stability when traveling through rough or uneven terrain.
Maintaining your scooter's cleanliness and safe on the road is important to ensure your health and safety. Make sure it is covered with a tarp or cover at all times. Avoid exposing it to extreme conditions which can reduce the battery life and harm the frame and its components.
When you purchase a travel scooter, make sure to check with your airline to determine what their policies and rules are for bringing mobility devices aboard. Many airlines will allow them to be checked in baggage, or with a special approval. However, you may be required to present the manufacturer's certificate and other documents that prove that the batteries meet their specifications. Some airlines also have limitations on the size and type of battery you can bring on board. It is best to read their guidelines and rules prior to you travel.
