Travel Mobility Scooters For Sale

Mobility scooters for travel offer stability and comfort for seniors on the go. These scooters are easy-to-disassemble and pack for worry free transportation, whether you're with friends, family or heading to the store for groceries.

Travel scooters are available with a variety of wheel types, including solid and foam-filled wheels that never flat, and pneumatic (air-filled) wheels that offer an easier ride. Many travel scooters also have suspension systems to increase stability.

Three-wheel scooters

There are two main types of scooters: the trickier two-wheeled ones and the more stable three-wheeled ones that assist in balance and weight shifting. Some scooters feature a wheel at the back for added stability, while others use the bicycle-style steering system where children lean to steer (like a bike). We found that 3-wheelers equipped with polyurethane (rather than plastic) wheels provide an easier ride over cracks and sidewalks. They also have a lower turning radius than 2-wheelers.

To ensure that children feel comfortable while riding, they must have an open foot platform. This lets their feet be able to fit on the platform comfortably without rubbing together. All of the scooters we tested for this review come with wide foot decks, and they all have a height-adjustable handlebar which allows them to grow with the scooter as they age. A height-adjustable bar can help kids find the right place to feel secure and balanced.

Many scooters for kids are designed to last for years and also through multiple kids. They're made of durable materials and can withstand bumps and dents. The Micro Maxi, for example, is made with rust-resistant aluminum and a strong fiberglass-reinforced deck. The 125-mm wheels are made of polyurethane rubber, which provides a smooth, quiet ride on various surfaces and absorbs bumps that are small on the road.

To keep scooters in good working order for an extended period of time, children should wear helmets and pads that cover their knees and elbows. Pediatric physical therapist Lauren Drobnjak recommends using a scooter with a handlebar that positions kids' arms at an angle of 90 degrees from their shoulders. In addition, she says riders should always wear shoes and socks. Scooter owners are advised to clean and lubricate their wheel with silicone grease in order to prevent metal rubbing against each other.

Four-Wheel Scooters

Every body type and lifestyle can be accommodated by a travel scooter. The factors that affect your decision include whether you prefer a four-wheeled or three-wheeled model, the turning radius, and weight capacity. Other aspects that could be considered are battery type, whether you want a tiller console with a battery life indicator and other bells and whistles, and price.
