Lightweight Mobility Scooters

Lightweight scooters compared

Each table is sorted by the heaviest piece, the most you'd lift into a car at once, lightest first.

Folding scooters

Scooters that come apart

Where a maker's own documents disagree, we show the lower capacity and range, the heavier weight and the larger folded size. For flights, each airline decides, so check with yours before you fly, and fly only with the battery the maker names.

1. Enhance's spec sheet says 55 lbs with the battery, and its website says 55 lbs without. We're confirming which is right.
2. Freerider says 56.7 lbs with its lead-acid battery, but the figures on our product page add up to about 71 lbs. We're confirming, so plan on up to 71 lbs.
3. Vive's manual doesn't say whether this weight includes the batteries.
4. Our product page's figure. Vive's manual doesn't give piece weights.

Which one suits you

• If you lift it into the car yourself: the SmartScoot's heaviest piece is 27 lbs, and the SNAPnGO's frame is 31.3 lbs. SNAPnGO says its scooter isn't a medical device: it's for riders who can stand and walk on their own, mostly indoors, and outdoors only on hard, flat ground.
• If you fly: pick one whose maker says its battery can fly. Some optional larger batteries can't, like the Luggies' 16.5Ah.
• For a heavier rider: the Luggie Super Plus 4 holds 360 lbs, but its folded frame is 70 lbs. The Luggie Elite and Classic II hold 320 lbs. The Go Go Super Portable, SNAPnGO, Transformer 2 and iLiving i3 hold 300 lbs.
• For distance: the Paiseec D3 lists up to 18.6 miles on its two batteries. The Gypsy Q2, Transport 4AF, Roadster S4 and MiniRider Lite list 6 to 6.8 miles.
• Worth knowing: EV Rider rates the Transport 4AF for slopes of 3 degrees at most, and the Gypsy Q2's seat is 13 in wide.

A few scooters in this collection aren't in the table yet because we haven't checked their figures against the maker's.
