Travel Scooter

Our lightweight mobility scooters are able to navigate cobblestone roads and climb up an 8.8% slope. The front tires are wider to provide better performance on rough terrain. Some models come with an attached hitch in the rear to carry baskets or boxes.
Lightweight
Travel scooters are light and easy to carry. They are perfect for those who have to travel by plane or car. They can easily fit into the trunk of your car or be checked as baggage on a flight.
Our ultra-lightweight scooters utilize TIG-welded, heated-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 standard MIG welding used in nearly every other mobility scooter made today. In the end, the frame of our lightest scooter weighs less than half of the weight of the other models. This means you can carry your scooter with more ease over longer distances and on more challenging terrain.
Our scooters are also designed to ensure that the rider's weight is placed on the drivewheel. This prevents the tendency of front-wheel-drive scooters to spin out on uneven surfaces or inclines. This results in a smoother ride and a significant reduction in the cost of repairs resulting from front-wheel damage.
Another advantage of our ultra-lightweight mobility scooters is their solid rubber tires. These tires are more durable than pneumatic tires (air) found on most scooters, and are much easier to maneuver on rough roads or unpaved ones. The solid rubber is also a lot more quiet than pneumatic tires and doesn't get caught or snagged by obstacles.
