A How-To Guide For Travel Scooters From Start To Finish

Travel Scooter

Travel scooters have been designed to be extremely mobile. Some fold, while others are disassembled into several pieces that are easy to handle.

Our mobility scooters that are lightweight are able to navigate cobblestone roads and climb an 8% slope. The front tires are wider to give better performance in rough terrain. Some models have an attached hitch in the rear to carry boxes or baskets.

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 fit into the trunk of your car or be carried as checked baggage on an airplane.

Our ultra-lightweight Scooters utilize heat-treated 7005 aircraft-grade aluminum TIG-welded for the frames and other components. This type of welding results in stronger, cleaner welds and are more attractive compared to the common MIG welds that are commonly found in mobility scooters today. The frame of our lightest mobility scooter weighs half as much as the competitors. This means that you can carry your scooter with more ease over longer distances and tougher terrain.

Our scooters are also designed so that the rider's weight is placed on the drivewheel. This prevents the tendency of front-wheel drive scooters to spin on uneven surfaces or inclines. This results in a smoother ride, and a substantial reduction in costly repairs caused by front-wheel damage.

Another benefit of our ultra-light mobility scooters is their rubber tires that are solid. They are more durable than pneumatic tires (air) used on the majority of scooters, and are easier to maneuver over rough or unpaved road. The solid rubber is also much quieter than pneumatic tires and doesn't snag or get caught on obstacles.
