Travel Scooter
Travel scooters are designed to be highly transportable. Some fold down, while others break into multiple easy-to-handle pieces.
Our lightweight mobility scooters are able to traverse cobblestone roads as well as climb an 8% slope. The front tires are wider for better performance in rough terrain. Some models include a rear-mounted hitch to carry boxes or baskets.
Lightweight
The light structure of travel scooters makes them easy to carry and lift. 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 make use of TIG-welded, heat-treated, aircraft-grade 7005 aluminum for the frames and other components. This type of welding produces stronger, more durable welds that are more attractive in comparison to the standard MIG welding used in many mobility scooters today. The frame of our lightweight mobility scooter weighs half as much as that of the rivals. This allows you to transport your scooter for longer distances and on more difficult terrain.
Additionally our scooters are designed with the user's weight placed over the drive wheel. This eliminates the tendency of front-wheel drive scooters to spin out on inclines or uneven surfaces. The result is a smoother ride, as well as a significant reduction in the cost of repairs due to front-wheel damage.
Another advantage of our ultra-lightweight mobility scooters are their solid rubber tires. They are more durable than pneumatic (air) tires found on many scooters, and are more comfortable to navigate over rough or unpaved roads. Rubber tires that are solid are quieter than pneumatics and do not stick to obstacles.
