Boot Scooters
Boot scooters are able to be folded or dismantled for storage in the trunk of a car. They tend to be smaller and less expensive than mobility scooters that are road-legal.
There are many models of boot-scooters on the market, so it's essential to select the best one for you. Here are a few things to consider when choosing a boot scooter:
Foldable
If you're planning an adventure, camping trip or just need to take a trip to the store, a foldable mobility scooter can help ease your travel. With their lightweight design, they are easy to transport and can easily be stored to transport in a car, train or plane.
Boot scooters can be an excellent choice for those who require a mobility aid similar to a wheelchair. They are primarily used on roads and are available in three- and four-wheel models.
They have a great turning radius, making them easy to maneuver around small spaces such as shopping centers or airports as well as parks. They can be dismantled depending on the model into a couple of pieces that are simple to reassemble, and are great for carrying in a bag, on a train or bus.
Some scooters fold electronically with the press of one button, so you don't have to lift them into your trunk to store them, or reconfigure them for use. Some require you to unfold them manually, which may be a bit tricky for those who have limited strength and mobility.
Weight is an important aspect to consider when selecting the best foldable scooter. The lighter the scooter the better it will be in terms of speed and portability.
To fold it down, the scooter should be light enough to ensure you can easily lift it into your trunk without the need for a power lift. Some models can be folded down into a suitcase-style design that you can carry like luggage behind you.
However some folding scooters weigh between 34- to 83 pounds, which makes it difficult for certain users to fit into the trunk of their car. Alternately, a hoist for vehicles can be used to lift the device to its destination.

It requires a car hoist
A car hoist is an essential tool to get your mobility scooter or wheelchair into your vehicle. It also provides a security measure to ensure the device doesn't move when driving or stopping. It is essential to determine the kind of car lift you need before purchasing one.
The simplest form of car hoist is the belly lift that uses the front and rear tyres to support the weight. This portable hoist is ideal to service brakes or tyres and can also be employed for suspension work.
A two-post hoist is a different option. It is constructed using a pair of vertical posts that are positioned on the floor, connected by arms that go beneath the chassis. Two-post lifts are a step up from the belly lift and provide higher lifting capacities. They are great for mechanic shops and garages and are frequently employed to maintain a wide variety of vehicles, including commercial and private cars.
These lifts are an excellent option for transporting your mobility scooter or wheelchair while on holiday or at the bustling shopping center since they can be dismantled and folded to make it easy to load into the back of your car. They are available in a variety of sizes so you can pick the appropriate one to meet your needs.
You can choose between several different hoists, so you should think about the size of your wheelchair scooter and the space in your garage. It's also worth considering the security level you require because some hoists require you to lift your mobility scooter in to it before you can lock it down which can be a hassle and frustrating for those who have weak backs or weak wrists.
In addition some hoists may be difficult to use as the controls could be jerky or with buttons that are too close or hard to press. They can also be noisy when moving your wheelchair or mobility scooter.
Atlas 4 Atlas 4 is the only non-permanent vehicle hoist on the market that can carry up to 40kg and does not require any modifications or bolts to your vehicle. Therefore, it's an ideal solution for those who want 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, therefore it's a great option for those who want to save money on their powerchair or mobility scooter.
Lightweight
Lightweight boot scooters, also referred to as portable or folding mobility scooters are great for short, local trips. They can be folded in less than 30 seconds and fit into most car boot. They are easy to carry on public transports for a trip to the doctor, or an outlet store.
They are perfect for people who want to travel more and have limited mobility because of disability or age. They are simple to transport and detach. They can be stored between use.
The majority of lightweight scooters have a three-wheel design which is lighter than four wheel models. This lets them be maneuvered into smaller spaces which makes it easier to maneuver around narrow roads and corners. However, three wheel scooters aren't always as stable as four wheel versions and are susceptible to falling over on steep hills or when turning sharply.
Some models also come with a tiller which is a great alternative for those looking for an extra hands-on method to maneuver their scooter. You can adjust the tilt of your seat and the speed of your scooter.
When selecting a scooter, there are numerous aspects to consider, such as the comfort of the ride and the battery type. A best rule of thumb is to select a scooter with a comfortable seat that is able to accommodate your body size and weight and is easily adjusted to meet your requirements.
It's also important to check the weight of the scooter, as this could make a huge difference in the ease to carry. It could be difficult to carry the scooter into the boot of your car when it's too heavy. It may be necessary to ask someone to assist you in moving it, particularly when the item is heavy.
Some scooters are made from lightweight materials like aircraft grade aluminum. They are also powered by lithium batteries which can be charged via the board should it be required.
