Navigating the world should be accessible to everyone, and with the rise of innovative Travel Scooters, mobility limitations no longer need to hold you back. If you’re searching for a lightweight, portable, and reliable mobility solution, the TravelScoot stands out as a leading option. Renowned for its ultra-lightweight design and exceptional portability, the TravelScoot is engineered to enhance your travel experiences, whether you’re exploring new cities, cruising through airports, or simply enjoying your neighborhood.
Unmatched Lightness for Effortless Portability
One of the most significant advantages of a travel scooter is its weight, and the TravelScoot excels in this domain. Weighing in at just 30 lbs without the battery, and only 33-35 lbs with a battery, the TravelScoot is exceptionally light. This crucial feature distinguishes it from heavier, traditional mobility scooters. It’s not just about being lightweight when disassembled; a true travel scooter needs to be easily manageable and liftable when fully assembled.

The practicality of a lightweight travel scooter becomes apparent in everyday situations. Whether you’re lifting it over curbs, navigating stairs, or loading it into a vehicle, the TravelScoot’s lightweight design ensures it remains a convenient travel companion, not a burden. Many individuals find heavier scooters impractical, often leaving them at home. The TravelScoot eliminates this issue, empowering you to take your mobility aid wherever you go.
Compact Foldability for Easy Storage and Transport
Beyond its lightweight nature, the TravelScoot boasts an incredibly compact folding mechanism, a vital feature for any travel scooter. Its folded dimensions are remarkably small, with a length of 29 or 34 inches (including the front wheel), a width of 21.5 inches, and a height of just 10.25 inches. This compact form factor allows for effortless storage in car trunks, closets, and even airline overhead compartments.

Superior Frame Strength and Design
The TravelScoot’s frame is engineered for optimal strength and portability. Constructed from TIG-welded, heat-treated, aircraft-grade 7005 aluminum, the frame weighs only 22.5 lbs yet offers unparalleled durability. TIG welding, known for its strength and clean finish, surpasses the commonly used MIG welds in most mobility scooters. This advanced welding technique, combined with premium materials, provides the TravelScoot with an exceptional 10:1 strength-to-weight ratio, making it the strongest lightweight folding mobility scooter available.
The unique triangular frame design further contributes to the TravelScoot’s robustness. This design evenly distributes weight across the frame, providing superior stability compared to two-point designs. This innovative engineering allows the TravelScoot to support users up to 450 lbs, a testament to its strength and reliability and reflected in its industry-leading warranty weight limit.
Comfortable and Lightweight Seat Assembly
Comfort is paramount, even in a lightweight travel scooter. The TravelScoot features a 5 lb seat assembly that is both lightweight and easy to handle. The patented yoke design distributes the rider’s weight across two bars, enhancing stability and comfort. The seat assembly can be quickly disassembled for extra cargo space if needed, adding to the scooter’s versatility.

Single-Hinge Folding Mechanism for Quick and Easy Folding
The TravelScoot’s single-hinge folding mechanism is a standout feature, designed for ultimate convenience. With a simple click of the locking pin and removal of the seat via a quick-release clamp, the scooter folds down in seconds. This hassle-free folding mechanism, combined with its ultra-light weight, makes the TravelScoot incredibly easy to load into vehicles and transport, saving you valuable time and effort.
Versatile Storage Options for Travel
The TravelScoot’s compact folded size allows for a variety of storage options, making it an ideal travel scooter for various modes of transportation.

Long-lasting Lithium-Ion Batteries for Extended Range
Powering the TravelScoot are high-performance lithium-ion batteries, constructed with 100% Panasonic cells and housed in durable cases. These batteries are built for longevity and provide exceptional range. For airline travel, the Escape model with the AirSafe battery is specifically designed to comply with airline regulations, offering a range of 10-16 miles per charge. For extended journeys on land or sea, the Longer Ranger battery provides an impressive 13-24 miles per charge.

Rear-Wheel Drive for Superior Traction
The rear-wheel-drive system provides significantly better traction compared to front-wheel drive scooters. Positioning the rider’s weight over the drive wheel maximizes grip, especially on uneven terrain and inclines, preventing spin-outs. Additionally, the hub motor’s placement inside the rear tire protects it from damage, reducing potential repair costs.
Solid Rubber Tires for Puncture-Free Rides
Equipped with solid rubber tires, the TravelScoot eliminates the worry of flat tires. The wide front wheel enhances performance on rough terrain and older streets. These wider, solid tires allow for confident travel over grass, gravel, and uneven surfaces.

Reverse Functionality for Enhanced Maneuverability
All TravelScoot models include forward and reverse functionality, providing exceptional maneuverability in tight spots such as elevators, dressing rooms, and restrooms. The slower reverse speed ensures safe and controlled movements in confined spaces.
