Folding Mobility Scooter Buying Guide
There is no “one size fits all” approach to buying a folding mobility scooter. Folding mobility scooters come in many colours, they come in an automatic folding model and a manual folding model, and they can vary in weight and travel-friendliness.
Why Choosing the Right Mobility Scooter Is an Important Decision
Choosing the perfect mobility scooter for you depends on your budget, your needs, and your lifestyle. It is necessary to determine the factors that mean the most to you when debating buying a mobility scooter.
It can also dictate the type of life you can lead and the activities you can do. For instance, buying a scooter that is not compatible with alternative terrain will limit you to the city streets. You also have to know where you can store it when it is not in use. Is it too bulky for your storage space?
Buying the right scooter that fits your needs will also save you money in the long run.
All of these factors will be important when choosing the right mobility scooter for you.
Types of Folding Mobility Scooters
Another main factor to consider when buying a mobility scooter is whether or not you will purchase an automatic folding mobility scooter or a manual folding mobility scooter.
With Automatic folding mobility scooters, folding up the unit just takes one press of a button – all you need to do is press the button on your scooter dashboard or remote control, and it should fold up within seconds.
Manual folding mobility scooters, however, require you to fold the scooter up yourself – and some of these manual scooters can even break down into smaller components for better portability.
If you’re worried about travel space, a lightweight, portable manual scooter could be the right pick. But, if you’ve got very little physical strength or dexterity, an automatic folding scooter could be the better option.
Six Necessities to Consider When Choosing a Mobility Scooter
Consider these six essential aspects when purchasing a mobility scooter:
- Comfort
- Durability
- Compatibility
- Weight
- Storage
- New or Second-hand?
Comfortability
When shopping around, you’ll need to be sure that comfort is a priority. You may find the scooter impractical for you without the necessary back support and seat support to accommodate your needs.
Many models offer adjustable tiller heights and removable armrests. These modifications can make the folding mobility scooter perfect for each user.
Durability
Durability is important with any product, but it’s especially crucial with folding mobility scooters. If your scooter can’t handle regular usage, you could end up wasting your money on a scooter that doesn’t last more than a couple of months.
Ideally, your folding mobility scooter should last you years if you’re taking care of it properly. It is recommended that you service your scooter at least one a year to keep it in tip top condition.
When checking scooters to see if they’re durable, look for branded products from reputable manufacturers. Mobility World makes this easy for you – we only work with manufacturers who provide longstanding products with a large range of spare parts. We also provide fast delivery service for parts to reduce the amount of inconvenience during maintenance.
It is advisable to stay away from products that are only available for direct importers as they may not provide the necessary backup products in case your scooter needs repairs.
Compatibility
Compatibility is the third most necessary thing to consider. Will you be able to easily store and transport this scooter while also fulfilling your needs?
Such needs include both physical needs and daily living needs. Essentially, will this folding mobility scooter be benefiting you and your lifestyle? Will there be anything that it does not accommodate as you would wish? If so, you may need to pursue a different model.
Weight
The fourth aspect of deciding which to purchase is the user's weight considerations as well as the scooter’s weight. It's important to find a folding mobility scooter that can support your weight and is suitable for your lifestyle.
While related to compatibility, weight is a factor to consider separately as it could be the difference between a cheaper and more expensive model. Usually the lighter the mobility scooter the more expensive due to the quality of engineering and materials used to make it lighter.
Storage
Consider the fifth aspect with a question: how will you store your scooter after purchase? Folding scooters are an excellent option for people who have limited room. They take up little space in the car, home or garage and during transportation from one place to another.
Look for options that fold up small if you live in an apartment or will have to transport the scooter by small car or public transportation.
New or Second-Hand?
When you’re shopping around for a scooter, you may see options for both new and second-hand scooters. Second-hand scooters may be more affordable but they’re not always the best option because you're choosing a model that is available and not one that is the most suitable for your needs.
If you want a scooter that lasts, then a new scooter is a better option that will provide you with peace of mind. Especially if you're over the age of 75 and are dealing with long-term mobility impairment, you'd want to invest in a scooter that can last longer and cause fewer headaches. New scooters usually come with a minimum of 12 months warranty as well, so you can feel reassured with the money you're spending.
If price is a significant consideration for you, you can opt for an approved used scooter instead of a new model. However, you'll need to ensure the second-hand scooter is from a reputable dealer who will only sell a used mobility scooter that has been serviced prior to sale and provides a warranty. Avoid purchasing used scooters from online marketplaces like eBay where you won't be able to know the condition or history of the product. Mobility World only sell Approved Used Mobility Scooter.
How Much Is a Folding Mobility Scooter?
According to a few vendors online, folding mobility scooters run from about £1,500 to £3,000. The features they contain and the type of material it is composed of will affect the price point.
Most automatic folding mobility scooters UK have a higher price tag, but they are less complex to fold and transport. Trade-offs like this are common when choosing the right folding mobility scooter for you and it may be worth the money if it can make daily life easier.
The current stock of manual folding mobility scooters on Mobility World’s website run from about £1,700 to £3,100.
Regarding automatic foldable mobility scooters, the price range is a bit higher on average, but you're receiving a quality product that is convenient and easy to fold quickly.
For example, the automatic folding mobility scooters for sale on Mobility World’s current website range in price from £2,300 to £2,800.
What Is the Lightest Mobility Scooter on the Market?
The lightest folding scooter available for sale presently from Mobility World weighs around 40 lbs (18 kg). In general, this is the most lightweight for a folding mobility scooter.
One of the most lightweight folding mobility scooters UK on the current market is the MLite Ultra-Lite Portable Travel Scooter with Lithium Battery. Weighing just 17.8kg (39.2 lbs), the lithium battery is easily removed for traveling, and is one of the most compact mobility scooters available.
Regarding automation folding mobility scooters, these run a bit heavier due to the machinations necessary for automatic folding.
Automatic folding mobility scooters weigh about 50 lbs (22.8 kg) on the low end and about 70 pounds (31.7 kg) on the higher side.
These scooters are still relatively lightweight and easily transportable. If you take out the lithium battery, that will lighten your load by a few pounds.
