Comparing the Best Folding Travel Mobility Scooters of 2023

Comparing the Best Folding Travel Mobility Scooters of 2023 in the UK

There are plenty of folding travel mobility scooters on the market, so in this blog, we will delve into the details of the best ones available on the UK markets for 2023, and discuss the pros and cons of each one.

Among the top contenders are eFOLDi, Betty and Bertie, Atto, and Go Go Elite Traveller Plus, each offering unique features and benefits to enhance travel experiences.

eFOLDi Lite-  eFOLDi

PROS: 

eFOLDi’s folding travel mobility scooter - the eFOLDi Lite- is an innovative tool that boasts a compact and extremely lightweight design, weighing only 15kg. It has a magnesium alloy frame which provides stability and durability and a Li-ion battery that allows a range of up to 10 miles on a single charge. It’s fantastic for use on public transport or folded up into the boot of a car. It also has removable wheels which can simply clip off which makes it even smaller and more portable. 

CONS: 

This is a great choice for travel, however, if you are a heavier person you must bear in mind that its weight capacity is capped at 120kg. It's also fairly expensive compared to other folding mobility scooters. Furthermore, although its range of 10 miles might be satisfactory for most as it results in a shorter charging duration of 5 hours, some alternative models offer a greater distance capacity.

Ren- Betty and Bertie

PROS: 

The Ren from Betty and Bertie is a fantastic folding mobility scooter that has a loading capacity of 165 kg despite only weighing 28kg. In a single charge, it can take you up to 35 km which makes it ideal for those longer day-out trips. With its double motor, it's perfect for tackling uneven terrain and outdoor adventures. It has a sleek and stylish design and can be folded away in 3 simple steps. It can fit into a car boot and take on all public transport.

CONS:

Its drawback is not being airline-approved, however, Betty and Bertie have other models that are- the Lupin and Zinnia. The Ren is 28kg which is relatively lightweight, although there are lighter mobility scooters available on the market.

ATTO Mobility Scooter- Moving Life

PROS: 

The ATTO mobility scooter is a stylish contemporary design that provides spacious legroom. One of its practical features enables it to split into two segments which are convenient for carrying or storage. It has an adjustable seat with a range of 3 heights as well as adjustable handlebars which allows a more comfortable and personalised experience. 

CONS: 

It is more expensive than some other models of travel folding mobility scooters. Another disadvantage is that its maximum driving speed is 4 mph which is slower in comparison to other models.

Go Go Elite Traveller Plus- Pride Mobility Products

PROS: 

This mobility scooter has many enhanced features such as a suspension system that absorbs the bumps of uneven terrain which provides the user with a more stable and comfortable journey. Even further, Go Go Plus has excellent portability, it can easily be disassembled into different segments which makes travelling on transport and airplanes effortless. Unlike the other travel mobility scooters, it has four wheels which provide more stability and are better for handling hills or curbs

CONS: 

The downside of four-wheel is that the other models with three wheels are more advanced at tighter turning circles as well as being more manoeuvrable than their four-wheeled counterparts. This scooter unfortunately has almost no ground clearance, meaning that if you want to take it anywhere with uneven terrain such as the park or a bumpy trail then it won’t perform well.

Therefore there are many options to choose from, and it comes down to your personal preference and needs which best suit you.
