7 Helpful Tips To Make The Most Out Of Your Travel Scooters

Travel Scooter Travel scooters are designed to be highly portable. Some fold down, while others break into multiple pieces that are easy to handle. Our lightweight mobility scooters are able to navigate cobblestone roads and climb an 8percent slope. They also have wider front tires to provide better performance on rough terrain. Some models have an attached hitch at the rear to carry baskets or boxes. Lightweight The light structure of travel scooters makes them simple to lift and move. They are ideal for those who need to travel by plane or car. They can easily fit in the trunk of your car or be checked as baggage on an airplane. Our ultra-lightweight Scooters use heat-treated 7005 aircraft-grade aluminum TIG-welded for frames and other parts. This type of welding results in stronger, cleaner welds and are more appealing aesthetically in comparison to the standard MIG welding used in many mobility scooters today. In the end, the frame of our lightweight scooter weighs less than half as much as the other models. This lets you carry your scooter over longer distances or over more difficult terrains. Additionally, our scooters are designed with the user's weight placed over the drive wheel. This prevents the tendency of front-wheel drive scooters to spin around on uneven or inclines. The result is a much more comfortable ride and a substantial reduction in the costly repairs resulting from front-wheel damage. Solid rubber tires are an additional advantage of our ultralightweight mobility scooters. These tires are far more durable than the pneumatic (air) tires that are found on many scooters and are easier to maneuver over rough or unpaved roads. all-terrain scooters are quieter than pneumatics and don't get caught on obstacles. When choosing the ideal mobility scooter for your needs, it's important to take into consideration the total weight of the scooter once it is assembled, including battery. You can do this by using our filters at the top of the page. You can filter by product specifications such as “heaviest piece” which indicates the combined weight of the battery pack and the chair. Our scooters are fitted with the latest lithium-ion battery technology that is extremely light and compact. The scooters also feature an extremely high-impact, flame-rated case with the flame rating of UL944-5VB. These batteries are made of 100% Panasonic cells and are designed to last for a long time. The batteries can be quickly disassembled for transportation or to make storage easier, should it be required. Easy to Fold Travel scooters fold up to fit into the trunk of your SUV or car. Some even disassemble into several smaller pieces for easier transport. They are great for travel on planes where IATA baggage regulations on suitcase dimensions apply. You can purchase a scooter case which will shield your mobility scooter from scratches and moisture while in transit. You can put your scooter in the garage, basement, or attic when it's not being used. If none of these options are available to you an attic or closet bedroom could be a good alternative. Choose a dry, sheltered location, away from direct sunlight. This will keep the sun's UV rays damaging the plastic and rubber components, and possibly causing corrosion. Depending on the model that you select, the scooter may come with either the basket or box to help you with your shopping requirements. You can also attach an accessory for luggage to the frame, and tow it behind you when riding. The compact and light weight of these scooters means you can carry them everywhere you go even in a bustling city like San Francisco. They can be used for a relaxing stroll in the park, go for time shopping, or discover an area you've always wanted to visit. When looking for a portable scooter it is a good idea to compare the weight of every model. This will help you determine which one is the best fit for you. Additionally, you need to take into account the battery's life span and capacity when selecting the right scooter. Find scooters that can be folded or easily disassembled into smaller parts. Some scooters fold at the press of a single button, while others require you to take off the seat and then manually fold it. It's also an excellent idea to apply an anti-rust spray or corrosion inhibitor on your scooter prior to storage for long periods particularly in areas susceptible to humidity and other environmental factors that can influence the condition of your scooter. It is also important to avoid storing your scooter in extreme temperatures as high temps can damage the battery and low temperatures can cause it to freeze and break down. Easy to Operate A travel scooter provides all the benefits of a mobility scooter but in a more compact package. The controls are simple to operate and you can adjust the tiller to place it in the most comfortable position for you. Many of the models we carry have long-lasting batteries, as well as a convenient battery monitor. We recommend that you store your travel scooter in a climate controlled area because extreme temperatures can alter the performance and longevity of lithium batteries. Keep your scooter in close proximity to a power source will also ensure optimal charging conditions. It is crucial to keep your mobility scooter clean, because dust can increase friction between moving parts and could end up damaging internal electrical components. If you don't wish to store your scooter in the garage or shed, you can purchase an outdoor storage cover that protects it from the sun and rain. Some of these covers even incorporate security enhancements like locks to deter theft. If you are ready to ride again, make sure you give your scooter a quick once-over before heading out the door. Look for signs of excessive wear or deterioration such as a damaged light, a bent handlebar or tires or controls that are not in good condition. This will ensure that your mobility device is in good condition and will continue to keep you going for many years to come. If you want to carry more luggage on your travel scooter, we offer various accessories to assist you in doing just that. Our Smart Luggage Kit comes with an accessory system that allows you to connect two smaller suitcases and a cabin-sized case to the back of your travel scooter. We also recommend using two-wheeled suitcases since they are more compact and can save you precious interior storage space. Additionally, two-wheel suitcases comply with IATA air-travel regulations regarding the maximum dimensions of suitcases. Therefore, you can fly with your entire scooter load without having to pay additional baggage fees. Our travel scooters are a great option for vacationers as well as frequent travellers. Easy to store Travel scooters can be broken down into small, portable pieces that can be easily transported in your car. They can easily fit in the trunk of a car, at your side while on a bus or train, or checked into an airplane for long flights. These lightweight scooters come 95% assembled making it simple for the user to assemble them when they reach their destination. Some models come with a handy carrying bag or case that allows for ease of transportation and use. The bags come with straps and handles that make it easier to carry the scooter on your arm or shoulder without straining your neck or back. This is especially helpful when you have to transfer your scooter from one mode of transportation to another, or if you are planning to travel around the city. The majority of travel scooters come with an adjustable seat that can be stored beneath the chassis or in front of the user's feet when the scooter isn't in use. This makes the scooter smaller and easier for storage in tight spaces, and allows users to access any other features they may require, such as a front basket or caddy. Travel scooters are also known for their narrower turning radius. This allows them to maneuver through tight spaces like the doors of homes and apartments. Some travel scooters feature an front-wheel suspension that provides extra stability on uneven terrain. Keeping your travel scooter clean and safe while in transit is essential for your health and safety. Keep it covered with a cover or tarp at all times. Avoid exposing it to extreme conditions, as this will reduce the battery life and harm the frame and components. When you purchase a mobility scooter for travel, make sure you check with your airline to find out what their regulations and rules are for bringing mobility devices onboard. Many airlines will allow them in checked baggage or with special approval. However, you might be required to present the manufacturer's certificate and other documents that prove that the batteries conform to their specifications. Some carriers also have limitations on the type and size of battery that you can bring with you, so it is a good idea to study their guidelines and rules before you depart.
