Who is a Portable Mobility Scooter For?

  1. Love spending time with friends and family
  2. Frequently travel by train, bus, or plane
  3. Enjoy going out to stores, restaurants, and cafes

Portable scooters are also great for people who have limited storage space in their home or apartment.

Finding the Perfect Transportable Mobility Scooter

Once you’ve settled on purchasing a portable scooter, you’ll need to ask yourself some important questions. Where will you primarily be using the scooter? Would you prefer that the scooter disassembles or folds? How much are you looking to spend? For scooters that disassemble, be sure to also review how much the heaviest piece will weigh once disassembled. Please review the ‘FAQ’ section further down for more information.

FAQS

  1. Will Medicare pay for a portable mobility scooter?

    Yes. As long as you meet the requirements, Medicare can provide partial coverage for a travel mobility scooter.

  2. What is the average weight of a portable mobility scooter? What is the heaviest piece when disassembled?

    The average weight of a transportable mobility scooter is approximately 125 pounds when fully assembled. This varies by model, so please review the product specifications prior to purchasing. Once the scooter has been disassembled for transportation, the heaviest piece will usually weigh between 30 and 45 pounds, making it much easier to lift into the back of a truck or car.

  3. How much does a transportable mobility scooter cost?

    The price of a portable scooter varies by manufacturer and model. On the low end, transportable scooters can cost as little as $1,000, while newer models with enhanced features and intelligent technology can cost up to $3,500 or more. The type of scooter you need depends on your specific preferences and requirements.

  4. Are travel mobility scooters stable?

    Yes. Portable scooters go through stability and safety testing prior to being released to the market. 4-wheel models have slightly more stability than 3-wheel models. If you’ll be using your scooter in hilly, bumpy, or rocky environments where stability is a concern, you may be better off purchasing a standard or all-terrain scooter.

  5. How to disassemble a mobility scooter?

    Transportable scooter models can typically be disassembled in four or five simple steps. This often starts with removing the seat and breaking down the remaining parts from there. Please check the manual for your device for full disassembly instructions.
