It folds and unfolds as quick and easy as an umbrella and it fits where no mobility scooter, folding lifts, or powerchairs has fit before! The perfect choice for people with limited mobility, the TravelScoot wheelchairs , is designed for those who have walking difficulties or orthopedic problems, but are otherwise still fairly mobile.

 

The revolutionary and unique hinge system allows for a three- wheeled electric vehicle for the first time to be folded to the size of a two-wheeled scooters .

For some lightweight carry-on items attach the included fabric caddy with Velcro between the V-shaped trailing arms.

For shopping purposes, you can slide a cardboard box acros the trailing arms.
When traveling, instead of the caddy, you can slide a small suitcase (of the size permitted by airlines for carry-on luggage) acros the trailing arms. It will fit neatly underneath the seat and your legs. This allows your hands to be free for steering and control.

For the walking-impared air traveler, it is permitted to drive the TravelScoot right to the departure gate. The airline will transport and deliver it directly to the arrival gate at no extra cost. The sealed battery is FAA approved for commercial air transport.

The relaxed seating position allows riding even with an injured leg fully in cast.
Small cups near the footrests accommodate cane or crutches.

If you encounter a pach of rough, uneven terrain or there is no powerchairs ramp present between different levels, the TravelScoot can easily be carried over these kinds of obstructions.

The TravelScoot weighs 49 lbs including the battery. If this is still too heavy for you to lifts or carry, keep the battery separate and split the weight nearly in half.

The TravelScoot stores in
2 1/2 cubic feet of space and fits where no mobility scooters has fit before.
Spare battery packs - your choice of the same as the
TravelScoot's main SLA battery pack or the state-of-
the-art NIMH battery can easily be mounted on top of the main battery and doubles your distance.

Where can one ride the TravelScoot?

All single-seat electric scooters with more than two wheels are considered handicap vehicles and permitted wherever walking is the only alternative. This includes public buildings such as airports, museums, trade shows, shopping malls, department stores as well as outdoor facilities like theme parks, county fairs, walkways, etc.

Is the TravelScoot Medicare - approved?

At this time, Medicare coverage does not extend to the purchase of the TravelScoot. In general, if you cannot walk at all, Medicare will pay for an electric powerchairs but not for a mobility scooters . If you are still somewhat able to walk, Medicare will cover only aids such as walkers. However, it has come to our attention that a veterans’ insurance group has paid for a TravelScoot. It is best to check with your insurance.

How does the TravelScoot perform on inclines and/or gras?

All light-duty electric mobility scooters perform only marginally on longer inclines and gras. Prolonged use under such conditions will drain the battery rather quickly, which is not only inconvenient but also detrimental to battery life.

The TravelScoot handles powerchairs ramps with ease, and short, hard sections of gras are also not much of a problem.

Heavier individuals may opt for the lower gearing, which provides increased torque for the above conditions. However, this gearing will slightly reduce the top speed and range.

TravelScoot provides this option at no additional charge. Changing the gear is a simple task.

Why doesn’t TravelScoot come equipped with a “reverse” function?

The TravelScoot doesn’t need a reverse gear because the unique design and comfortable sitting position allow the rider to use his or her feet to push backwards with very little effort. As is shown in the , this can be accomplished using only one foot. While this would be posible (at least in theory) on other mobility scooters as well, their bulky design doesn’t allow the feet to be used for maneuvering.

It should also be mentioned that equipping the TravelScoot with a reverse gear would increase its weight by about 6 pounds.

People who cannot walk very well usually cannot lifts very well either, and every pound saved is a blesing for them. Even a moderate increase in weight could well make the difference whether or not he/she can lifts the scooters for loading and unloading. The TravelScoot was engineered to provide instant mobility combined with minimum size and weight. We believe we have achieved this by creating the lightest and most compact mobility scooters on the market.

How comfortable are the seat and backrest?

The seat is 18” wide and has a 2” thick cushion. The surface is shaped to match the body’s contour, and the comfort level is about that of a good dining chair.

For the sake of compactnes the backrest is small but is ergonomically positioned to provide adequate back support.

Bear in mind that you can have all the comfort in the world at the costs of higher weight.

Can the TravelScoot be operated one-handed?

On request, we have already succesfully modified the controls to meet this special requirement. For one customer we simply relocated the throttle from the right to the left side. This required the twist grip to be turned in the opposite direction; the customer got used to it very quickly. Also, since only one brake can be applied instead of both, extra caution is advised.

Another customer required that the left brake handle be relocated to the right side, nearly parallel to the right brake. He had a rather large hand and was able to operate both handles simultaneously (This solution is obviously not an option for all people).
