Auto Folding Mobility Scooter Models For Sale

Welcome to our page dedicated to auto folding mobility scooter models. Here, you’ll find mobility scooters that automatically fold up, quickly and easily, perfect for taking with you on the go.

What is an Auto Folding Mobility Scooter? 

An auto folding mobility scooter is a scooter that can fold itself up into a compact shape, making it easy to take with you or store. Here’s how it works:

When you activate the folding process by pressing a button on the scooter or a special fob, the scooter starts by lowering the seat. Then, the front and rear parts of the scooter move closer together. Imagine folding a piece of paper – it’s a bit like that. It folds up automatically so it’s only taking up a small amount of space. This makes it easier for you to store it in your car or carry it around.

When you’re ready to use the scooter again, you just activate the unfolding process. The scooter then does the reverse of the folding process. The front and rear parts of the scooter move away from each other. Then, the seat raises up automatically. In a few moments, your scooter is back in its full shape, ready for you to hop on and ride. This is what sets it apart from standard folding mobility scooters.

This whole process is powered by the scooter’s own battery. So, you don’t have to use your own strength to fold or unfold the scooter. This makes it really easy to use, especially if you have limited strength or mobility.

There are two main types of auto folding mobility scooters:

1. Remote Fob

This type comes with a small remote control. This remote works much like car keys. You just press a button, and the scooter folds or unfolds all by itself. This is really handy because you can start folding the scooter from a distance. It’s a bit like parking your car with a remote.

2. Button On Scooter

This type has a folding button right on the scooter itself. An example of this is the EV Rider Teqno model. So, instead of using a separate remote, you press this button to make the scooter fold or unfold. This is really convenient because you don’t have to worry about carrying or losing a separate remote. You can start packing up the scooter as soon as you’re done using it, right from where you are.

While these scooters do most of the work themselves, there are a couple of things you’ll need to do. For instance, once the scooter has unfolded, you’ll need to manually push the seatback up to get it ready for sitting. Also, you’ll have to either use the remote or press the button on the scooter to activate the folding or unfolding. But these tasks are very simple, and the auto folding feature makes using these scooters easy.

One limitation of folding mobility scooters is that they aren’t ideal for conditions like strong wind, cold, or intense sun. For those kinds of weather, a mobility scooter with roof is highly desirable for extra comfort and protection.

Also, auto folding scooters might feel bumpy on rough roads because many of them don’t have suspension, which makes rides smoother. There are a few special ones that work well on all kinds of roads, but not many. If you reside in an area with uneven or challenging road conditions, you might need an all-terrain mobility scooter instead.

How to Operate an Automatic Folding Mobility Scooter

Using an automatic folding mobility scooter is easy and meant to make your life more convenient. Here’s a simple guide to help you use your scooter safely and effectively:

Before You Start

Before you use your scooter, make sure to read the instructions that come with it. These will teach you how to use your scooter the right way. Also, charge up the battery so the scooter works well and doesn’t have any trouble folding. Get to know the buttons on the scooter, too. There’s usually a button to fold it and another to unfold it, and there might be some other buttons that control the lights or the horn. Knowing where these are will help you when you’re ready to go out.

Folding and Unfolding the Scooter

To unfold your scooter, you just press a button on it or use the remote. Then you step back and watch it unfold until you hear a click, which means it’s ready. After it’s unfolded, you might need to move the seat until you feel comfortable sitting on it. When you need to fold the scooter, first stop it completely and switch it off. Then you press the same button or use the remote again to fold it. Remember to keep your hands clear of the scooter as it folds to stay safe.

Riding the Scooter

To ride your scooter, start by pressing the power button to turn it on. When you want to stop, get to know how your scooter’s brakes work; some models will stop automatically when you release the handle. To control how fast you’re going, turn the speed dial; it’s best to start off slowly until you get the hang of riding. You should also practice steering the scooter in a safe place to get comfortable with turning and avoiding obstacles. Always keep in mind that your scooter works best on smooth and flat surfaces, so watch where you’re going.

Staying Safe

Before you set out on your scooter, it’s a good idea to give it a quick check to ensure everything is in working order. Clear away any obstacles from your path before you begin to drive. Remember, these scooters are made for smooth sidewalks and indoor areas, so it’s best to avoid very bumpy or rough terrain. Help others see you by using your scooter’s lights or reflective parts, especially when it’s dark or cloudy. And it’s smart to learn the specific rules for riding scooters in public areas where you live.

If There’s a Problem

If you run into trouble with your scooter, like it not folding or unfolding, first make sure the battery isn’t low and nothing’s blocking it. A quick look at the ‘troubleshooting’ section in your instruction manual can also offer solutions to common issues. If problems persist, don’t hesitate to reach out to customer support for assistance. With these tips in hand, you’re all set to make the most of your automatic folding mobility scooter, prioritizing safety and enjoying the freedom it provides.
