Folding Mobility Scooters

Folding scooters are very much like travel scooters in that they are designed for travel and easy transport. Folding scooters, however, usually do not disassemble, they simply fold down to a more compact size. Once the battery pack is removed folding scooters usually weigh 50 lbs. or less.

Folding scooters are not built to handle rough terrain. If you plan to use your scooter in a more agresive means, you should consider a full size 3 wheel scooter or a 4 wheel scooter. In many cases, consumers will buy a folding scooter in addition to a full size scooter.
