EV-Rider Transport 4AF Auto Folding Lightweight Travel Mobility Scooter

At full speed, you can reach 4 mph.

You will find some other brands offer scooters that go faster than this, however high quality brands put a high emphasis on safety too.

In order for a mobility scooter to go faster than around 10 mph, heavy investment must be made to ensure it stays just as safe. For this reason, the more reputable and safe a brand, the more they cap the top speed of their mobility scooters.

Battery running time per charge is measured in miles as opposed to time i.e. how many miles can a fully charged set of batteries take the scooter?

The answer depends on the user’s weight as well as the kind of terrain the scooter is operated upon.

Please take these manufacturer figures with a grain of salt, bearing in mind manufacturers may test their scooters in optimum conditions you won’t find in real life.

For a EV Rider Transport 4AF mobility scooter, the batteries last: Up to 10 miles.

The lifetime of your Transport 4AF batteries is approximately 3 years, but very much depends on how much you use your scooter and whether you take good care of your batteries.

Lithium-ion batteries can be expensive to replace, please be in contact with us for a quote.

This mobility scooter uses lithium-ion batteries. These batteries are maintenance-free, meaning you don’t need to add water to them or anything like that.

Lithium-ion batteries can be expensive to replace, please contact us if you require more information.

This scooter's seat size is 16". This is narrower than non travel seats, since this is a folding travel scooter and everything is going to be more compact.

The seatback on folding travel scooters is also less comfortable than heavy duty scooters, and this scooter has no armrests.

Since the Transport 4AF is a folding travel scooter, it is not designed for off-road use, dirt paths and grass.

It will probably be able to cope with short stretches of such terrain but not consistent, prolonged use. This scooter works best indoors, and on paved outdoor surfaces.

The EV Rider Transport 4AF is perfect for both indoors and outdoors. This scooter has a tight turning radius and is fine for use inside houses and apartments.

  Please note, we have excellent relationships with our suppliers/manufacturers. If we are showing an item as out of stock, it’s almost certainly the same for other dealers who might not have the most up-to-date information on the websites and may show the item as in stock.

Unfortunately, the way things are nowadays, with delays across the entire supply chain, if you wait until there is no lead time on your scooter, you might end up waiting forever. As soon as new stock comes in, it is assigned to orders that were already placed, sometimes weeks in advance. We don’t know how soon the situation will get better - and it may actually get worse before getting better again.

For this reason, customers are placing their orders as soon as they are able, to be placed on the list for as soon as the next scooters are ready to ship.

• When your scooter arrives, do not sign any forms until you have opened the boxes and ascertained that everything is as it should be.
• If the external boxes are damaged, make sure to note this next to your signature. Make sure to inspect the contents before signing.
• If your scooter is damaged in a way that the entire scooter needs to be replaced, just refuse the entire delivery.
• If your scooter is damaged in a way that a spare part needs to be sent out and installed (eg a broken mirror), accept the delivery, and list any damaged items next to your signature.
• If you find damage after having signed for delivery without any damage notes, this can be really problematic as the shipping company may try to shift the blame onto you. This is why it’s important to check for damage, especially if the outside boxes are damaged.

Once the fault is identified, a replacement part will be shipped out if under warranty. Installing the part is once again the customer’s responsibility.

The EV Rider Transport 4AF mobility scooter is super easy to drive and control.

Remember, this is a scooter which was designed from scratch for seniors and those with disabilities. It takes into account that you might have slower reaction times and has automatic braking whenever you let go of the throttle.

It also features slow-speed mode for confined areas or whilst you’re building up your driving skills and want to go a little slower.

Acceleration/reverse is achieved by a lever in the handlebars, and braking is automatic when you let go of the brakes.

Due to the safety automatic brakes which kick in every time you let go of the throttle, your driving might seem a little jerky at first, but most people catch on very quickly and learn to use the throttle and brakes in a way that gives a smooth ride.

This scooter uses wig-wag throttle acceleration, meaning you can control it with one hand, without any modifications needed.

• Rain: It’s OK and safe if you get caught in the rain once in a while, or go through an occasional puddle, but you should try to avoid a trip if you know it’s going to rain.
• Snow and ice: We cannot take responsibility for using the scooter in these kinds of weather conditions.
• Cold weather: Fine, though it does negatively impact the battery health and lifetime.
• Wind: Generally not an issue unless very strong winds that could tip the scooter over. If you have a mobility scooter with a canopy, remember, very strong winds can act as a sail to tip over your scooter.
• Hot sun: No issue as far as the scooter is concerned. Remember to take along ample hydration!

This mobility scooter uses maintenance-free batteries which do not need any care until they die, after around 2 years of use.

It’s a good idea to have your scooter checked once a year by a qualified technician.

Call us 1-888-233-5563 to get details on a local technician in your area.

You should also call us or a local tech if you hear strange noises coming out of your scooter.

This scooter will not fit in the vast majority of car trunks. It will however fit on most pickup truck beds.

If you’re planning on transporting your mobility scooter on a pickup truck bed, you’ll probably need a ramp to get the scooter up onto the truck bed.

• Electric lift: The most common solution is to purchase a platform-style vehicle lift, which sits on your trailer hitch.

  If you don’t have a trailer hitch on your vehicle, you’ll need to have one installed. The platform lowers right down to road level, you ride the scooter onto the platform, secure the scooter with provided straps and then activate a lift which raises the platform a few feet off the ground. You’ll need a vehicle that can take a max tongue weight of at least 500 lbs, so this won’t work for saloon and hatchback vehicles.

• Manual Platform: Like an electric lift, this has a platform which sits on your trailer hitch, but this platform does not rise and decened, instead, it has a built-in ramp which flips out, allowing you to roll the scooter up onto the platform.

  You’ll need a vehicle that can take a max tongue weight of at least 500 lbs, so this won’t work for saloon and hatchback vehicles.

  Explore our collection of manual platforms.

• Scooter trailer: This is a full-fledged trailer on its own wheels, which attaches to your trailer hitch.

  There is just one company that designs and produces a trailer specifically for mobility scooters, or you can just get any generic trailer whose specifications match the S4 in terms of weight and dimensions.
