Travel Scooter Travel scooters are designed to be extremely portable. Some travel scooters fold, while others can be disassembled into smaller pieces. Our lightweight mobility scooters can ascend an incline of 8% and travel over cobblestone roads. The front tires are wider for better performance in rough terrain. Some models have a hitch mounted at the rear to carry baskets or boxes. Lightweight The light structure of travel scooters makes them simple to lift and transport. This is why they're ideal for anyone who needs to travel by car or airplane. They can easily fit into the trunk of your vehicle or be carried as checked baggage on an airplane. Our ultra-lightweight Scooters make use of TIG-welded 7005 aircraft-grade aluminum that has been heat-treated for frames and other parts. This type of welding produces welds that are stronger, cleaner and more attractive than the common MIG welds used in virtually all other mobility scooters manufactured today. The frame of our lightest mobility scooter weighs half the weight of the competitors. This allows you to transport your scooter for longer distances or over more difficult terrains. Our scooters are also constructed so that the rider's body weight is placed over the drivewheel. This prevents front-wheel-drives scooters to spin on uneven or sloped surfaces. This results in a smoother ride, and a significant decrease in costly repairs due to front-wheel damage. Another benefit of our ultra-lightweight mobility scooters are their solid rubber tires. They are more durable than pneumatic tires (air) that are found on many scooters, and are much easier to maneuver on rough or unpaved roads. The solid rubber is a lot more quiet than pneumatic tires, and it doesn't catch or snag on obstacles.
