What is a folding mobility scooter?

A folding mobility scooter is an electric scooter created for easy portability and storage. It can be compacted and folded into a more diminutive form, allowing users to take it in cars or public transport. 

Typically, these scooters have lighter frames and less substantial wheels for easy handling in tight spaces. That’s why folding mobility scooters are popular with individuals who still lead an active lifestyle regardless of disability or mobility problems. 

Many people prefer this type of lightweight scooter to their bulkier, more cumbersome alternatives. Folding mobility scooters are often designed with accessibility in mind. They typically have lower step heights and easy-to-reach controls, making them easier for individuals with mobility challenges.
