VERY light, can carry in one hand. Very strong; carries my 300 lbs easily. Fast. REMOVEABLE battery: so I can recharge inside the house-Great in winter when can't leave it in car to freeze. Battery very light, good capacity. Great for the airplane: freight guys love stowing it for me. | | Weaknesses: | seat becomes uncomfortable after about 1 hour. | | Comments: | LOVE my TravelScoot.

| John from Corvallis, OR, USA submitted this review on May 4th 2010 at 01:23 AM. John is a care giver who has over a year of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | Very light weight, agile and adequate power for a medium size person. Collapses to a nice small package. | | Weaknesses: | Very poorly designed breaks. Ineffective on any incline, especially when the wheels are slightly wet. I am surprised that such poor design has passed inspections. How about disk breaks? | | Comments: | Please improve the breaks before someone gets seriously hurt. | | Durability? |  | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? |  | | Overall Rating: | |

| Kathryn from Hickory, NC, USA submitted this review on April 5th 2010 at 11:52 AM. Kathryn is an end user who has over a year of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | This very light weight scooter is durable and fast. I particularly like how easy it is to travel with. I am also pleased at how well it handles uneven surfaces, whether it is cobblestones, broken sidewalks or gravel paths. | | Weaknesses: | There is no reverse gear which is not a problem for me but I would not recommend it for someone who cannot walk at all. It comes with a heavy duty canvas bag for travel. However the first time I flew with the scooter the airline put a whole in the bag although the scooter was not damaged. I bought a hard sided golf bag (with wheels)which has worked well. | | Comments: | This scooter is wonderful. It has allowed me to continue traveling which I greatly enjoy. | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

| Laura from Buffalo Grove, IL submitted this review on March 17th 2010 at 09:56 PM. Laura is an end user who has one to six months of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | Easy to use, can load it into my vehicle myself, Gets me around when I need it. | | Weaknesses: | Some limitations with heading up inclines - do not have the power I would like, but have never gotten stuck prior to getting to the top. | | Comments: | I have MS and have limited function of my legs. Need a walker for any movement and distance is minimal. The TravelScoot has given me a new sense of independence as I can handle and navigate myself. I can go to the store again.... | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

| Laurie from Boston submitted this review on March 8th 2010 at 11:08 AM. Laurie is an end user who has less than a month of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | Lightweight, nice, sharp turning radius, comfortable. Very responsive and helpful customer service. I am small and light and most other scooters are too large for me. The travel scoot has a regular size (which, as other posters have mentioned can carry people of quite large size) and a junior size, which fits me perfectly. | | Weaknesses: | The same as any other travel scooter--not good in rain or snow. Somewhat slow on inclines, but I've not had a problem on small hills or long wheelchair ramps. | | Comments: | I walk with a cane and have difficulty walking more than short distances, but live in a non-accessible apartment building. Once I'm in the lobby, I can use the elevator, but there are a few steps up to the front door. This is the only scooter I am aware of that can be easily rolled or carried up and down the few steps even by a person of small stature. | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

| Peter from London, Ontario, Canada submitted this review on January 24th 2010 at 01:00 PM. Peter is an end user who has over a year of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | The strength, ease of assembly, thoroughness of mechanical features and Lithium battery make this scooter perfect for fairly flat fairly stable surface driving. | | Weaknesses: | The backrest could have a button stop to keep it from sliding down the metal support. | | Comments: | I have muscular dystrophy and have used my Travelscoot to go through many many airports, around Disneyland and Disneyworld, through many parks, to and from stores. The Travelscoot is not designed for riding on grass or loose gravel like surfaces. I have the Lithium battery and have only managed to run it down once and that was my fault for riding on grass to feed the squrrels. Biggest problem I have is airline crew handling but I think I've got that whipped now and am getting less damage.
It's the BEST thing to happen to my mobility life ever. | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

| Nancy from RTP, NC submitted this review on January 11th 2010 at 12:48 PM. Nancy is an end user who has over a year of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | I have posted before, all the strengths still relevant and even stronger. A breeze to fly with. Wonderful to tinker with and to customize. Larger batteries (more Ah) are available. The retailer is very responsive and has replacement connectors, belts and other parts available. Just about any bicycle horn, basket or other gadget will fit on it. One can easily lift it out of a minivan, hop on and take off. It also fits in any boot (car trunk) when folded up. | | Weaknesses: | None when you read the web site and follow the guidelines. Very durable. I did have to re-staple the band around the bottom of the seat after about 6 months of use. | | Comments: | After 4 flights I can say that I was able to scoot to the airplane door, remove the LiO smaller size battery, and gate check the little scoot without even folding it up, just like a baby stroller and weighs about the same. It was waiting at the airplane door when I arrived. I can't walk without assistance, but have enough leg strength to back it up out of elevators and such. | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

| Lisa from BC, Canada submitted this review on December 15th 2009 at 11:44 AM. Lisa is an end user who has six months to a year of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | Lightweight. | | Weaknesses: | No one to contact when problems. | | Comments: | I personally think that it is partially a scam because it is not well made because you can not get help for a problem and the advertising is wrong. They are made for people who just do not like to walk and that the area is very flat not for people with mobility issues. | | Durability? |  | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

| Paul from United Kingdom submitted this review on December 14th 2009 at 09:08 AM. Paul is an end user who has one to six months of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | Hi,
I have already posted a 1-month review previously and would now like to give my views after 3-months use, including air and cruise travel. My previous strengths that I listed are still relevant, if not strengthened. | | Weaknesses: | Have now experienced rather lengthy periods of use whilst on shore excursions, airport transfers and cruise ship navigations the following are worthy of note:
The seat is covered in a rubber material and the padding is quite thin. As I weigh over 250 pounds and not on the slim side in my nether regions I did suffer some discomfort, both because of the qualities of rubber that can create high temperatures and lack of sufficient padding for comfort. I am in the process of devizing an alternative to the rubber and also the possibility of adding extra padding to the seat. This should be an easy job and will not add either extra weight or bulkyness.
The supplied bell is useless so I replaced it with an electric cycle buzzer that now blasts like a ships horn! | | Comments: | The design of this product lends itself to all the Heath Robinsons that are amongst us - I include myself as one of those too! Thus I have successfully added a means of keeping me dry on damp days. I purchased a golf trolley umbrella holder and a collapsable golf umbrella that when slotted in the holder, which bolts to the frame easily, can be moved to the desired position to completely cover both myself and the rear of the scooter.
I have also purchased a camera support that attaches quickly to the front handlebars and I now have a hands-free, very steady support for both a camera and a camcorder. This same support, which has a strong magnate quick release allows me to attach any number of devises such as a small table or cup holder etc.
The Li-ion battery is excellent, however, I will next time take a backup power source as the scooter died when I most needed it after leaving an aircraft at Gatwick and had to walk quite a way to baggage reclaim. I purchased a dry battery kit from Hardy and added two half power acid dry cell batteries with a combined weight of 10lb which should give me an approx 3 mile emergency range. These smaller batteries are quite hard to find so I am trying to find a cycle Li-ion battery that will do the job better. They tend however to be funny shapes !! | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

| Nancy from RTP, NC, USA submitted this review on November 30th 2009 at 07:44 AM. Nancy is an end user who has over a year of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | Ditto to all of Paul's comments. Well engineered and very sustainable. Can be maintained, modified and repaired with common household tools. All components visible and can be replaced with ease when needed. Cost reasonable considering no need for a hitch haul, lift or modified van to tote it. Will easily fit into any car or minivan. Less than 35 pounds and the 4.5 pound LiO battery makes airline travel a breeze. Good customer support. Great for work, shopping and touring. | | Weaknesses: | None for purpose intended. You need to be able to use your feet and legs to help brake. Need hand strength for brakes and good judgment to limit speed. | | Comments: | Fills a growing market for the next 30 years in the USA. Best for bad feet, bad knees and bad backs. Is not a medical device and that is clearly stated on the web site. Current medical scooters and chairs weigh 100-600 pounds. Glen miss typed. One HP is 746 watts. A 600 watt motor can flip the travelscoot over backwards. Some inclines do require lower gears so it is up to engineers in countries other than the USA, to invent light weight electric transportation devices with drive and gearing similar to a 10 speed bicycle to handle inclines. | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

| Elford from Helsinki Finland submitted this review on November 4th 2009 at 09:59 AM. Elford is an end user who has six months to a year of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | I can go just about any place with my Travelscoot. Shopping Malls, the Metro, elevators and even on escalators. I can carry many things such as my camera accessories etc. | | Weaknesses: | There are no weaknesses as far as I`m concerned. If you add a bigger motor, reverse gear, fenders or lights,etc, it would just add more weight. | | Comments: | I am very happy with the Travelscoot as it does everything its advertised to do. Its small enough that I can keep it in our apartment and it is small enough to fit in our very small apartment elevator. | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

I weigh almost 300 pounds and it works beautifully. Giving up a bit of comfort for the portability is worth it. It takes time to unfold and fold it the first time, so practice makes it easier. I love this scooter and the ingenious design. | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

I can go and do about anything I could before my knees gave out.

| Marc from Lynnwood, Washington, USA submitted this review on October 15th 2009 at 08:28 PM. Marc is an end user who has less than a month of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | Great invention. Light in weight and well crafted, very light Li-Ion battery. | | Weaknesses: | -Lacks springs
-Accelerator too abrupt.
-Brakes not very effective.
-Li-Ion Battery needs to be removed from tray to recharge.
-Motor very weak on the slightest inclines or when starting while turning.
-the warning bell has too whimpey a sound. | | Comments: | This scooter is great for the purpose intended; easy to fold, easy to transport and light in weight.
That said, the TravelScoot needs some refinements to earn top marks. Some improvements are absolutely necessary: The accelerator needs to be replaced with a smoother one; the brakes are useless and downright dangerous. Too much force needs to be exerted to the break handles to get some breaking. Disc brakes could solve this problem. The motor is too weak, even on the slightest incline or when starting the scooter on a curve.
A more powerful motor and lower gearing might help some or a manually operated two-gear shift (high and low) near the motor would improve the performance, immensely. | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

Pam is an end user who has one to six months of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | light weight, easy to fold, fun to ride | | Weaknesses: | Battery life. I have 2 batteries to rotate. I have never gotten over 2 hrs use off the better of the two. My husband contacted the company and at first they said to bad then finally sent one new battery. I am having the same problem with it. I recently have used it at an outlet mall and loved the freedon from pain. But the battery was showing weak in a short time. I stayed close to the car so I could push it back if it died completely. It was purchased for vacations with grandchildren. I do not feel comfortable taking on a cruise or going to disney with the kids. I will rent a scooter when I get there. | | Comments: | I might just have a bad unit. My husband an engineer bought it for me because he thought the design was good. But I just go to the mail box for fear of having to push it home. I wish I had went with a company that gives a better warranty for large priced item | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

| Orla from Ireland submitted this review on September 26th 2009 at 06:43 PM. Orla is an end user who has six months to a year of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | Lightweight and Compact. Folds up small so should fit into most car boots (trunks).
Because it is small, it fits into most places (cafe's, shops), and you have the option of folding it if you feel it might be in the way.
Depending on your physical condition, you might be able to lift it up, or roll it over steps or kerbs that are too high. In this way you can access areas or buildings that are not strictly wheelchair accessible. I am not strong but can do this easily with kerbs, and a step or two, unaided. I got the lightweight lithium-ion battery which probably makes this easier.
The handle-bar is height adjustible. I find this means I can get the height to a more comfortable position, so causing less muscle fatigue in my arms.
I find it easy to assemble and dissassemble. For me it is as easy as it looked on the official website. But I was a lot slower the first time I put it together, mostly because it took a while to figure out what the locking pins were (the users manual could have a clearer picture of them).
Good customer support . I have gotten very quick replies to enquiries both before and after I bought it (within 24 hours). | | Weaknesses: | Not suitable for someone with little or no use of legs (but also true of most scooters).
The lack of a reverse gear could be a problem for some. However, once I got used to it, I didn't find it a problem. In some ways I like being able to reverse by either using my foot, or just getting up and turning the scooter around. Reversing with other scooters can be difficult if in a tight spot.
Probably not suitable to go outdoors in if it is raining, or raining badly, as the battery and connector is somewhat more exposed than with other scooters. But this problem needs to be weighed against the overall mobility this product can offer, and rain wouldn't stop indoor activities.
I did have one technical problem about 9 months after I got it. One day when I was out the battery indicator light started flashing red and the scooter stopped moving. I knew the battery was almost fully charged. I just got a taxi home and e-mailed Hardy (the inventor and person who runs the company). I got a quick reply (within 24 hours) and he correctly diagnosed the problem. He sent me the replacement part straight away. It was easier than I thought to fix it (I had to replace the bit that contains the switch), and I have no experience at all with this sort of thing. | | Comments: | This scooter has done exactly what the official website said it would, and what I hoped it would. It allows me much more freedom and mobility than I have previously had. I would recommend it for anyone who can walk a little but has a problem with distance.
For any Irish readers, don't forget that in Ireland there is no VAT on mobility scooters for private customers. If you are charged VAT by customs, you can claim it back later (by using the form VAT 61a). There might be similar tax rules in other countries, so worth checking out. | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

| Peter from Perkasie, PA, USA submitted this review on September 14th 2009 at 09:52 AM. Peter is an end user who has one to six months of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | I use my travelscoot on a daily basis. It is so light weight and compact, it will fit in the truck of just about any car. I’m sure you could even fit it in a Smartcar. Even parking in a handicap space at work it’s still a long, long way to my desk. With my travelscoot, which I can assemble in less then 2 minutes, I can be at my desk quicker than I’ve ever be able to manage in the past even when I was able to walk normally. My dog loves it too; when I take him for a walk after supper I take him on a lot long walk then my wife did. I can’t wait to travel with it. Although I would like to ask Glen from CA a question, which 1.25 horsepower motor did he installed on the scooter and where he got it? I can be reached at (skinut@enter.net) | | Weaknesses: | The inability to drive it in wet (rainy) conditions. | | Comments: | If there is a lighter more transportable scooter out there I sure haven't found it and it's not from the lack of looking. | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

| Paul from United Kingdom submitted this review on September 11th 2009 at 10:03 AM. Paul is an end user who has less than a month of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | Lightest mobilty scooter that money can buy.
Moveable at all times (no power on other scooters locks the wheels)
Easy to unfold and collapse
Powerful motor
Makes use of Li-ion battery technology
Very User Friendly
Can be shipped easily and quickly all over the world
Direct contact by email or phone with the inventor (Hardy Huber) | | Weaknesses: | Because of the benefits mentioned above - there are NO weaknesses, just "Oh Well, can't have everything" scenarios.
If you want to be picky - then more confidence that things won't pack up in heavy rain. Hardy is testing his own Scoot in heavy rain as I write this review. | | Comments: | I am an avid cruise taker and have travelled all over the world in the process, visiting over 100 countries and thousands of locations. I now find that age and handicaps have caught up with me and I just can't walk much anymore! I have bought a series of electric mobilty scooters over the last couple of years - one folds down into the size of a suitcase and is pretty manageable - so I thought! This "Scoot" is amazing and will set me free again both whilst ashore and even moving around the ship (some are longer than 2 football pitches). I mentioned above that moveability when power is not applied is one of the strengths - On every other mobility scooter that I have heard about, cutting the power locks the wheels and acts as a break. Consequently, if you are in a wheelchair unfriendly location that has no ramps or pavement (sidewalk)runs cutting through kerbs, then you have to physically lift the scooter up the kerb or even stairway. The Travelscoot wheels stay moveable at all times unless you apply the nifty hand breaks, therefore you can stand up and lift the front wheel up the kerb. Climbing stairs is quite easy as long as you can climb them. On the Travelscoot website a large man (350 lbs) lifts his scoot with one hand and pulls himself up the stairs by the hand-rail with the other.
Many thanks Hardy for inventing this baby | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

easy to operate.
sturdy, easily accomodates 400+ pound person.
Inventor is very accessible and answers questions via email or phone. | | Weaknesses: | very basic, I will want to find ways to attach a water bottle holder, a headlight. seat may need a bit more padding. | | Comments: | I am taking this scooter to Australia in 2 months and I'm looking forward to all the freedom of movement it will afford, while still being compact to not require a special vehicle. | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery lasts for hours and is light weight.
I weigh over 400 pounds and the TravelScoot has been working fine for me. | | Weaknesses: | | | Comments: | I have a back injury and other problems that leave me unable to walk more than a few hundred feet. For the past 5 years I have been paying for grocery delivery and I have had to do all my shopping online or depend on the kindness of others to shop for me.

I could fit two of them in the trunk of my Toyota Camry. It easily carries people over 400 lbs. Fits in smaller spaces that other scooters. | | Weaknesses: | | | Comments: | My TravelScoot has changed my life by giving me independence.

(I replaced the travel case that came with the Scooter with a well-padded travel case for airline travel.) Pack an extra drivebelt! | | Comments: | I have frequently taken my TravelScoot to Europe & Canada. It does well on steep hills, charges on both 120V and 220V, and has opened a world of travel impossible for me if I were forced to use only the very heavy electric wheel chairs that dominate the market. It is a Godsend....The lightweight battery is worth its extra cost. | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

| Ronnie from Carrollton, Texas USA submitted this review on June 9th 2008 at 01:41 PM. Ronnie is an end user who has one to six months of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | 1. Very rugged construction - I used it during a day camp where all of the terrain was "off road" and it did very well. I don't recommend it for this sort of thing because it might damage a very expensive battery but it's nice to know that it has very high capabilities.
2. Light weight - I have the Li-Ion battery upgrade and the whole scooter weighs 35 pounds.
3. Portable - It can fit an airplanes overhead storage if they allow it.
4. Quick and Torquey - I surprised that will outrun and outclimb my Golden Buzz-around which weighs 4 times as much.
5. Customer Service - I have to communicate with the business owner on a couple of matters and all exchanges have been positive. | | Weaknesses: | 1. Seat - Very good for a 35 pound scooter but don't expect something like what you would get with a 200 pound scooter.
2. No reverse - It was designed to push backward. A reverse gear would have added a fair amount of weight and bulk so this scooter doesn't have one. This is not a big deal because the scooter is extremely maneuvarable and you can just pick it up and turn around if you are in a really tight spot | | Comments: | Overall, the Travelscoot matches or surpasses the performance of scooters that are 3 - 5 times as heavy in every way most people care about and weighs 35 pounds (w/Li-ion battery) and easily folds into a tiny protective case. | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |
