A lightweight mobility scooter is a great option if you’re starting to have some trouble getting around. Sturdy and well-powered, these scooters can save you a lot of time and energy. Such a means of easy transportation is certainly an option worth considering. However, with traditional mobility scooters, hoisting the scooter in and out of car can be real burden. Most mobility scooters are designed to safely transport a person on uneven footpath terrain between the shopper’s house and the shops. Once in the shops or offices though, big rubber tires, heavy batteries, traction motors, staunch frame and a wide stance are largely unnecessary.

Manufacturers have realized the difficulty which some users face. Many lightweight folding mobility scooter options have come up lately in the market as a solution to this problem.

These lightweight scooters have parts which can be disassembled quickly and folded away. If the scooter is not to be used on rough terrain, it is ideal for shopping tours and offices.

One example of a lightweight scooter on the market is the No Boundaries Folding Scooter. Its length is 41 inches, width 21.5 inches and height 34 inches. Folded with battery detached, it’s about same size as a baby stroller but heavier. On disassembling it folds like a suitcase. It has a weight of 280 lb with the heaviest part weighing 27 lb. With a top speed of 4.5 MPH and a range of 10 miles it is priced at $1895 with optional extra battery and armrests. The scooter can climb moderate grades of incline that would challenge a person with normal walking ability.

When considering buying a folding scooter, try looking online. This easy, risk-free way of shopping can pay big dividends as you approach your decision. Online retailers often have advantages when it comes to selection and price, as well as convenience of delivery.
