TravelScoot UK and the lightest mobility scooter for travel

TravelScoot UK is the British distributor of TravelScoot, a company founded with the purpose of making mobility simple, practical and enjoyable. The company serves thousands of customers worldwide and focuses its activity on selling the TravelScoot Escape, a foldable electric mobility scooter presented as the lightest on the market in its category: 13 kg without the battery and 14.8 kg with it.

The TravelScoot Escape: foldable design and reduced weight

The main model, the Escape, is designed to cover almost any need in a travel environment: cruises, pavements, hard-packed trails, hills, museums, big cities, doctor's appointments, restaurants, theme parks, trains, planes and automobiles. The company describes it as a versatile and durable scooter, suitable for anyone looking for a comfortable ride and a reliable travel companion.

Its single-hinge folding mechanism reduces the whole unit to the size of a two-wheeled scooter, something the company attributes to this three-wheeled model. Folding is done by removing the seat, sliding the battery into its caddy and pressing the locking pin; with practice, it can be completed in seconds.

Features and controls

The Escape includes a rotating seat that makes getting on and off easier via a lever clamp whose tension can be adjusted to the user's hand strength. The included aluminium bushings help maintain the selected height when the clamp is released. The backrest is height-adjustable with an Allen key, so it can be positioned at shoulder level, in the mid-back area or in the lumbar region.

The controls are limited to turning the scooter on and engaging the twist-grip throttle to accelerate. The maximum speed of the Escape is 4.7 mph, while that of the Shopper model is 3.2 mph.

Catalogue accessories

The shop offers a range of accessories for the Escape and other models, including:

• High-grade moulded plastic caddy for the Escape model, in silver, from £40.00.
• Passenger trailer, exclusive to the Escape model, from £649.00 (sold out).
• Aluminium Super Caddy for the Escape model, in silver or black, from £110.00.

Load capacity and everyday use

According to the company, the TravelScoot can carry more luggage, both in weight and volume, than other travel mobility scooters. Light hand luggage can be placed on the canvas caddy included with every unit, and any object that fits across the frame can be loaded and carried.

Demonstrations and customer service

TravelScoot UK offers the possibility of arranging a free home demonstration and has a contact phone number to request information. The company also maintains a mailing list to announce new products, discounts and exclusive offers.

User experiences

The website features testimonials from owners. One of them states that they have covered more than 2,400 km on their TravelScoot since buying it in July 2015, and have used it in eleven countries, six different airlines and three cruises. Another user relates that the scooter sparked the King's interest during a celebration event held by a walking group.
