Golden Buzzaround Carry-On Scooter

The GB120 scooter by Golden Technologies is one of the only fold-flat scooters that has a ground clearance of 4″. This allows users to travel in the grass with ease and it also helps with going down small garage curbs and other small curbs. This scooter is extremely convenient because of the way it folds up and keeps a low profile (12″ high when folded). When completely folded, the scooter is capable of being stored in the back of a small sedan or another type of car with a small tunk-space. The seat post on the GB120 is unlike other competing models in that it is capable of folding flat and saving a lot of vertical space (see images below). 

Another awesome feature about the GB120 is that it has a toggle switch for the free-wheel mode instead of a lever like most units. The toggle switch is very easy to use and conveniently labeled to show what each switch position is for. When you need to manually push the unit without using the motor, you can activate the freewheel mode and push it without powering the unit on. After you’re done moving it while in free-wheel-mode, you will need to put the unit back in drive mode in order to use the battery-powered motor again. 

The Buzzaround Carry-On Scooter can travel up to 5 MPH and can support up to 300 lbs. It weighs a total of 65.5 lbs with the battery installed but the lightest piece weighs only 47.5 lbs when disassembled (base). It also features high-visibility LED lights on the front and rear which allows the user to travel in the dark or night time hours. Overall, this impressive scooter has a ton of excellent features and is one of the most versatile options for someone looking to get a folding unit. 

Solax Transformer Automatic Folding Scooter 

For Sherry Tipton, when she was planning on an eight-day cruise in France, she knew she needed the Solax Transformer Automatic Folding Scooter.

One of the advantages of the Solax Transformer Automatic Folding Scooter is the convenience riders have when at the airports.

“It was perfect in the airports because I could ride the scooter right up to the plane door and then auto fold it with my remote control for them to stow in the cargo hold,” Sherry said, “and to have [it] waiting for me when I arrived at my next destination.”

Having an easy process when using air transportation saves a person a lot of time and stress. When the Solax Transformer disability scooter was designed, the convenience of travel was a top priority.

The auto fold was a product of that in-depth creation of the Solax Transformer mobility scooter. Folding the product in a push of a button allows the driver to easily transport the quality mobility scooter instead of tiring him or herself out.

As Tipton progressed on her trip, she was relieved by how effective the folding mobility scooter was in the day-to-day adventures.

“The tour bus drivers all loved the scooter since it could be easily folded and lifted for my many times on and off the bus,” Tipton said. “Because of the scooter, I was able to make it to every single destination of each daily tour including the Eiffel Tower; the Louvre; Palace of Versailles; Claude Monet’s garden and home; Normandy Beaches; Napoleon’s Chateau; and, most of the way up to the ruins of a castle built by Richard I at the top of a very steep hill.”

For many, it is surprising that a folding disability scooter could handle the activities Tipton applied Solax Transformer on. But it is the robust design of the product that makes it capable.

The Solax Transformer Automatic Folding Scooter can move through open spaces with ease while handling more challenging terrains.

With rear-wheel drive and a 120-watt motor, the Solax Transformer scooter for the disabled reaches a maximum speed of nearly 4 miles per hour.

The long-distance mobility scooter is equipped with a 24V 10Ah lithium battery capable of traveling eight miles to 14 miles on a complete charge, depending upon the conditions.

The combination of speed and travel range makes the folding mobility scooter among the best in its category. But not everyone is aware of that, as Tipton soon found out.

“The ship’s program director tried to discourage me from taking a couple of the excursions because he felt like the terrain would be too rough for the scooter,” Tipton said. “I proved him wrong.”

Tipton would take the Solax Transformer Automatic Folding Scooter across uneven and rough cobblestones without any problems. As were other terrains she traveling on, such as loose gravel, sand and steep inclines.

The Solax Transformer mobility scooter has a safe gradient up to 10 degrees while the ground clearance is 1.6 inches. Those specifications help the product effectively move over a variety of terrains.

Solid wheels ensure unexpected impediments in the terrain do not puncture the tires and leave the driver in frustration. The wheels are 6 inches and robust. Having four wheels empowers the driver with enhanced stability that a traditional 3 wheel mobility scooter is not capable of offering.

The Solax Transformer Automatic Folding Scooter has an ergonomic steering wheel with a battery charge indicator, speed control and a horn all at a push of a button. With another push of a button, the driver can fold the quality disability scooter, even if he or she does not have the remote control.

While traveling over these various areas, Tipton had to maintain comfort on her folding disability scooter. The comfort rest cushioned seat has the perfect balance of firm and softness, keeping the driver relaxed and secure for several miles of travel over a lengthy period of time.

The Solax Transformer Automatic Folding Scooter can secure hold drivers far above Tipton’s weight. The folding mobility scooter has a 300-pound weight capacity. Therefore, obese drivers should not expect any problems, if the person takes the 4 wheel mobility scooter wherever he or she needs to go.

Teqno & Remo – Tied for 3rd place

The third most recommended folding scooter happens to be a tie between the Teqno scooter by Heartway/EV Rider and the Remo Automatic folding scooter by E-Wheels. Both of these options are very similar to each other but with one main difference. The Remo is not air-line friendly but the Teqno is. The Remo is however much lighter than the Teqno so each has its pros and cons. As you may have gathered by the name, the Remo is an automatic folding scooter unlike the Teqno which requires the user to manually fold it when transporting or storing the unit. 

The Teqno weighs 73 lbs, features a 250 lb weight capacity rating, and is capable of traveling 15 miles on a full charge. Check out the video below to see the Teqno in action: 

The Remo weighs 65 lbs, features a 300 lb weight capacity, and is capable of traveling up to 13 miles on a full charge. Check out the video below to see the Remo in action.
