Boot Scooters
Boot scooters can be folded or dismantled for storage in the trunk of a car. They are usually smaller and less expensive than road-legal mobility scooters.
There are a variety of boot-scooters available, so it's important to choose the best one for your needs. If you are deciding which one to choose there are a few things to think about:
Foldable
Whether you are going on a vacation, camping or just need to take an excursion to the supermarket, a foldable mobility scooter can help make your journey easier. With their light weight design they are simple to transport and can be easily tucked away for transport on a car or train.
Boot scooters are an excellent option for those who require a transport aid similar to a wheelchair. They are typically used on roads and are available in four or three-wheel models.
They have a great turning radius, making them easy to maneuver in tight spaces like airports, shopping centres, and parks. Depending on the model, they may be broken down into parts that are easy to reassemble. They can be carried in a bag, or on trains or buses.
Some scooters fold electronically at the push of a button. This means that you don't have to lift them out of your vehicle or put them back together when you are ready to use them again. Some scooters require you to fold them manually, which can be somewhat difficult for those with limited strength and mobility.
Weight is an important factor to take into account when choosing the best foldable scooter. The lighter the scooter the more efficiently it will perform in terms of portability, speed and range.
To fold it down, the scooter needs to be light enough you can easily lift it into your trunk without the need for a power lift. Some models fold into a suitcase that you can carry around for transporting luggage around quickly and efficiently.
However, many folding scooters weigh between 34- to 83-pounds, which could make it difficult for some users to get them into the trunk of their car. A hoist for vehicles is a second alternative to lift the device.
Like all mobility aids the weight of the user plays a significant factor in a scooter's capacity to be able to move long distances. Therefore, it is important to choose an electric scooter that is light without sacrificing durability or safety.

They are often used in shopping centres and supermarkets due to their accessibility and ease of dismantling. collapsible disability scooters cannot be used on public roads but could be a good alternative to a motorised chair.

This product requires an auto hoist.
A car hoist can be an essential tool to get your mobility scooter or wheelchair into your vehicle. It's also a security measure that ensures the device doesn't move when you drive or brake. It is essential to determine the kind of car lift you want before purchasing one.
The simplest form of a car hoist is the belly lift, which makes use of the rear and front tyres on each side to support the weight. It is ideal for servicing tyres, brakes or suspension work. It is portable, making it ideal for garages as well as mechanic shops.
Another option is a hoist with two posts made up of two vertical posts that are mounted to the floor and connected by arms that go under the chassis of the vehicle. These two-post lifts are a step above the belly lift, and provide larger lifting capacities. These lifts are perfect for mechanics shops and garages and can be used to service numerous vehicles, such as commercial vehicles, light trucks and private cars.
These lifts are able to be dismantled, folded and loaded into the boot of a car. They are available in different sizes so you can find the right one for your requirements.
There are many kinds of hoists to choose from, and it is important to think about the space available in your garage and the dimensions of your wheelchair or scooter. You should also consider the level of security that you require. Some hoists require you to lift your mobility scooter or wheelchair into it before you can lock down. This can be frustrating and uninspiring for those with weak wrists and bad backs.
In addition hoists that aren't designed to be difficult to use as the controls could be jerky or have buttons that are too close together or hard to press. They can also be loud while moving your wheelchair or mobility scooter.
Atlas 4 Atlas 4 is the only non-permanent car hoist available on the market that can carry up 40kg. It doesn't require any modifications or bolts to your vehicle. As such, it's the perfect solution for those looking for a simple, safe way to get their mobility scooter or folding powerchair into your car without permanently altering it. It's also cheaper than permanent car hoists, so it's a great choice for those who want to save money on their powerchair or mobility scooter.
Lightweight
These light boot scooters are also known as portable mobility scooters or folding mobility scooters. They are perfect for quick local trips. They can fold up in less than 30 seconds and fit into the majority of car boot spaces. They are also a breeze to take with you on public transport, like for a trip to the doctor or a shopping centre.
They are perfect for people who want to travel a lot and have limited mobility because of age or disability. They are also easy to carry and dismantle which makes them ideal to store between uses.
The majority of scooters that are lightweight feature a three wheel design that is lighter than four wheel models. They can be put into tighter spaces or around corners. However three wheel scooters are not always as stable as four wheel versions and are susceptible to tipping over on steeper hills or when turning sharply.
Some models are also equipped with a tiller, which is a good option for those who prefer an easier way to control their scooter. You can alter the position of your seat and the speed of your scooter.
When picking a scooter, there are a variety of features to consider, including the comfort of the ride and the battery type. A best rule of thumb is to choose a model that has a comfortable seat that is able to accommodate your body size and weight and can be easily adjusted to fit your needs.
It's also important to consider the overall weight of the scooter because it can make a significant difference in how easy it is to carry. If the weight is too high it may be difficult to carry it into and out of the car boot. It may be necessary to ask someone to assist you in moving it, particularly when the item is heavy.
Some scooters are built from lightweight materials like aluminum that is aircraft grade. They are usually powered by lithium batteries, which can be charged via the board when needed.
