  • Tony and Kevin take off on the TravelScoot Deluxe, the world's lightest mobility scooter, to see just how far it will go on a single charge. Its 274 Wh airline-approved lithium-ion battery is expected to last 8-10 miles at the warranty weight limit. In this video, at 365 lbs, the TravelScoot Deluxe with Conversion Trailer, two passengers, an extra battery, and camera equipment, our one-year-old battery lasted a whopping 13.5 miles!
    TravelScoot Deluxe - $2,655.00
    Conversion Trailer - $579.00

    Should be borne in mind that this was pretty much non-stop - accelerating from a standstill pulls a lot of current, so range in stop/start urban use is _much_ lower than achieved here. I have a Deluxe, bought July 2019 (the 274Wh battery is dated Oct 2018), so almost exactly 5 years of use. It now gives about 5-6 miles non-stop (as in this demo) but barely 3-4 miles over several short urban outings. Unfortunately replacement batteries are extortionately expensive (about twice what you would pay for similar ones in other applications). ETA >> All that said, these are excellent machines, very well-built and durable, and they are not only light but very compact and can literally 'turn on a dime' (steering to the right or clockwise so the drive wheel is on the outside of the turn) - they can be ridden into and around venues that most scooters simply can't.

    13.5 miles ain't too shabby. Looks like Kevin was having a lot of fun twirling around and it didn't even phase Tony. Pretty slick.

    We love our TravelScoot. Have used it every day for the past 2 years.

    We are going to try and visit you soon. Our current scooters keep breaking down and have left me stranded. We need to replace them with *something* and these might just be the ticket.

    How does it survive on grass and corrugated paths

    Ok, so I am 500+lbs and I have an original travel scoot with the belt drive. I have major overheating issues with the electric motor. I can go maybe 6 grocery store isle lengths and it shuts off, I wait a few minutes and j can resume but it will soon shut off again. I use one if the newer style batteries. Also even at a full charge as I am say going down an hallway it will show orange and sometimes even red on the meter until I ease off the throttle. Any help you guys can offer would be appreciated!

    • @TravelScootUSA

      An overheating motor is most often caused by low battery voltage (and resulting high current). When you say that you have a newer style battery, we assume that you have a lithium-ion battery. Can you tell us if this is the case, and if so, how old? Also, I recommend calling us at 800 342-2214 or emailing us directly at usa@travelscoot.com if you have technical issues, as we can reply faster.
