5 Best Travel Mobility Scooters
Oct
If travelling with your current mobility scooter or no mobility scooter makes you nervous, we’re here to help. You should be able to enjoy your travelling safely. Whether you want to go on a road trip, or on a plane with your scooter, we have multiple travel mobility scooters for you. Before we jump into our list of the 5 best travel mobility scooters, let’s go over some features that can help you decide between popular styles.
Folding vs Disassembling Travel Mobility Scooters
When talking about travel mobility scooters, we often hear the debate of folding vs disassembling scooters, and which is better. Folding scooters are better for those who experience pain or discomfort in their fingers and hands as you wouldn’t have to fidget disconnecting the pieces. Additionally, folding scooters tend to be a little lighter if you need to lift it into a vehicle. On the other hand, disassembling scooters often have more comfort features, higher weight capacities and better suspension. Based on these aspects, you can choose which type of scooter will fit your lifestyle better.
Consider Where You’re Travelling
Where you plan to use your mobility scooter will help you decide which type from the list below will best suit your needs. If you need to take your scooter on a plane, you must choose a small scooter with lithium-ion batteries. On the other hand, if you plan to do a cross-country road trip, a more comfortable disassembling scooter may be perfect for you as it will have more features and drive range. Now, let’s dive into our 5 best travel mobility scooters.
