Folding Mobility Scooters - The Good & Bad

Folding mobility scooters are rather new to the scene. As more time goes on, more and more manufacturers are releasing their versions of what they feel the perfect mobility scooter should be. Unlike travel mobility scooters, folding mobility scooters completely fold to fit into tight areas such as trunks. 

The Good About Folding Mobility Scooters: 

• No dis-assembly is required. They simple fold to reduce their size. This is greatly beneficial for those who do not wish to disassemble their mobility scooter. 
• Travel range is 12-13.5 miles which is greater than the average travel mobility scooter.
• Perfect for traveling in tight places such as the home or indoor malls. Where other mobility scooters would be too big, the folding mobility scooter is perfect.

• Not ideal for traveling long distances as the max MPH is 3.75MPH-4.00MPH. 
• Small tires and lack of sophisticated suspension reduces ride quality, however, these parts add unnecessary weight to the mobility scooter. 
• Since folding mobility scooters are relatively new, the prices remain rather high. A comparable travel mobility scooter runs around $500.00 cheaper than a new folding mobility scooter for sale. 

However, it is important to note that some of the bad isn't actually all that bad if you are a wise consumer. Rather than buying a folding mobility scooter for sale in a store, purchasing a folding mobility scooter for sale online can save you hundreds and hundreds of dollars. Many retail stores have large overhead costs associated with their operation. Whereas an online store does not have this high overhead so can pass the cost savings to you. Take advantage of this fact so you can have a brand new folding mobility scooter for sale shipped to your door for much less. 

As you can see, the good may outweigh the bad depending upon the intended use of the folding mobility scooter. Two major brands that currently offer folding mobility scooters would be Solax & Afikim.
