Travel Scooter Travel scooters are designed to be highly mobile. Some fold, while others disassemble into multiple easy-to-handle pieces. Our lightweight mobility scooters can climb an incline of 8% and travel over cobblestone roads. They also come with wider front tires for better performance on rough terrain. Some models even come with a rear-mounted hitch that can be used for bringing boxes or baskets. Lightweight The light-weight structure of travel scooters makes them easy to lift and transport. This is why they are perfect for anyone who has to travel, whether by plane or by car. They are easy to fit into the trunk of your vehicle or be checked as baggage on a flight. Our ultra-lightweight Scooters utilize aluminum that has been treated with heat and then TIG-welded for frames and other parts. This type of welding results in stronger, cleaner welds and are more aesthetically pleasing in comparison to the standard MIG welds found in most mobility scooters today. The frame of our lightest mobility scooter weighs half the weight of the competition. This means you can carry your scooter with more ease over longer distances and more difficult terrain. Our scooters are also constructed so that the user's weight is placed on the drivewheel. This reduces the tendency of front-wheel-driven scooters to spin on uneven or sloped surfaces. The result is a much more smooth ride, and a significant reduction in the cost of repairs resulting from front-wheel damage. Solid rubber tires are another benefit of our ultralightweight mobility scooters. They are more durable than pneumatic (air) tires on the majority of scooters and are much easier to maneuver over rough or unpaved roads. Rubber tires that are solid are quieter than pneumatics, and they don't catch on obstacles.
