Advantages of Travel Scooters vs Full-size Portable Mobility Scooters

Enhance your freedom and safety with a travel scooter. Users with limited mobility can enjoy all the advances made in the last few years. A folding or travel scooter bridges the gap between indoor and outdoor use and convenience while traveling.

Live life on the go with the countless advantages of a travel scooter.

Versatile

Storing a compact travel scooter is easy. Travel units are perfect for indoor and outdoor use. Travel scooters make entering or exiting a tight elevator or narrow sidewalk easier.

Unless a mid- or full-size scooter is heavy-duty, it can be a challenge to maneuver on varying terrains.

Compact

Travel scooters fit in car trunks, on planes and in closets. Most units feature a one- or two-touch folding mechanism, manual or automatic. When not in use, these units can be folded and rolled like a carry-on suitcase.

A mid- or full-size scooter cannot be folded in any way. Their construction makes it a challenge to travel if you do not already have pre-arranged help.

Durable

Travel scooter construction is designed to be convenient when on the go. Most weigh below 50 pounds and are built with aircraft-grade aluminum. The materials ensure a reliable mobility experience without the weight of larger scooters.

Lithium batteries also keep portable scooters light. These battery packs do not exceed five pounds on average and are easy to disconnect if an airline requires it.

A full-size scooter can weigh more than 200 pounds. This is partly owed to the sturdier materials they are constructed from.

Easy to transport

When traveling, it is essential to quickly and easily move in and out of vehicles and other modes of transportation. With a travel scooter, there’s no need for a special van or ramp as withfull- and mid-size scooters. A caregiver, family member or driver can easily assist when going to the next stop on your adventure.

A travel scooter is a revolutionary resource to move users quickly and easily and with maximum comfort. Explore all your travel and full-size scooter options with Marc’s Mobility.

Marc’s Mobility was created by my Father Marc in 1995 when I was 7 years old. I have grown up in and around this industry and from an early age would clean, drive and repair these units with Marc. I graduated high school in 2006 and headed to Gainesville, FL to get a Business degree at the University of Florida. Once graduated, I moved back to Lakeland FL to help my father grow the business to what it is today.

I have been full-time in this industry for almost 12 years as of 2022. When I graduated college the company was a small 3 member operation. At the beginning, it was my primary role to inspect, repair, and prepare units for shipping all across the US. As we have grown to over a 10 man operation, I now oversee all aspects of the business but understand each and every role here at Marc’s Mobility. I believe what makes us successful is we do our best to treat everyone we interact with as if they were family.
