Travel Mobility Scooters
Travel scooters are the most portable scooters available. These scooters can easily be disassembled into multiple pieces so that they can be lifted without as much effort, with most pieces weighting less than 25 lbs. These pieces can then be stored in the trunk of a car. Taking your scooter to the grocery can be a breeze. If you have a smaller vehicle and plan to travel with your scooter, it is much more realistic to purchase a travel scooter. While not always necessary, scooter lifts can be used with travel scooters to make transport easier.
Travel scooters come in 3 and 4 wheel models, as you may expect. When buying a travel scooter, you will not have to forfeit all the luxuries of a full size scooter. Travel scooters can reach speeds up to 5 mph and still get you up to 20 miles on a single charge! 3 wheel travel scooters are more maneuverable, but 4 wheel travel scooters provide more foot room better stability, especially outdoors.
