Travel Scooter
Travel scooters have been developed to be extremely portable. Some travel scooters fold, while others can be disassembled into smaller pieces.
Our mobility scooters that are lightweight can navigate cobblestone roads and climb up an 8% slope. They also have wider front tires for better performance on rough terrain. Some models also come with a rear-mounted hitch that can be used for carrying baskets or boxes.
Lightweight
Travel scooters are lightweight and easy to transport. They are ideal for those who need to travel by plane or vehicle. They are easy to fit into the trunk of your vehicle or be carried as checked baggage on a flight.
Our ultra-lightweight Scooters utilize TIG-welded 7005 aircraft-grade aluminum that has been heat-treated for the frames and other parts. This type of welding results in welds that are stronger, more durable and more attractive than the typical MIG welds used in virtually all other mobility scooters manufactured today. In the end, the frame of our lightest scooter weighs less than half as much as the competition. This means you can carry your scooter with greater mobility over greater distances and more difficult terrain.
Additionally our scooters are constructed with the rider's weight placed over the drive wheel. This eliminates the tendency for front-wheel-driven scooters to spin on uneven or inclines surfaces. This results in a smoother ride, and a substantial reduction in the cost of repairs caused by damage to the front wheel.
Solid rubber tires are another benefit of our ultralight mobility scooters. They are more durable than pneumatic tires (air) found on most scooters, and they are much easier to maneuver on rough or unpaved roads. Solid rubber tires are quieter than pneumatics, and they don't get caught on obstacles.
