Folding Mobility Scooters Features and Benefits
If you’re finding walking difficult but you want to maintain your independence, then folding mobility scooters provide a practical and affordable solution.
Ideal for busy pavements or taking the bus or train, these lightweight but full-featured models can be stowed away in the cupboard under the stairs or easily fit in the boot of your car when you fancy a day out.
So, what should you look for when investing in a folding mobility scooter? Let’s consider the options.
What Are Folding Mobility Scooters?
Folding mobility scooters are just as they’re described – lightweight, portable models that are designed to be easily folded and stored, so you can go on public transport, fit them in the car boot or store them at home so they don’t take up any space.
At TGA Mobility, we’ve been manufacturing our own industry-leading range of folding models for over thirty years, so we know a thing or two about producing quality portable machines.
Our folding fleet features comfortable seats, durable frames and tyres, long-lasting lithium batteries, and user-friendly controls – so you experience excellent stability and manoeuvrability when you go into town or meet up with friends for supper.
Why Are Folding Mobility Scooters Popular?
Aside from the fact that a folding mobility scooter is really easy to operate and steer, comfortable to sit on even for long periods, and can turn on a sixpence in a busy shopping centre – they are also extremely durable and affordable.
Let’s think of some usage scenarios: love browsing the pot plants and young trees at your local garden centre? Check. Enjoy walking your dog along the promenade or beach? Check.
Or how about tackling that big shopping centre followed by a spot of lunch? Check.
Our folding scooters are so versatile and portable that a trip abroad can be enjoyed without worry. Whether going by plane or cruise ship you’ll know you can take your freedom with you. Read our guide on air travel with a scooter if you want to know more.
Our well-made and reliable folding mobility scooters can handle it all in comfort.
Benefits of Using Folding Mobility Scooters
Folding mobility scooters offer several benefits, all of which amount to the same thing: more freedom and independence for you.
Easy to take anywhere – folding scooters are compact and lightweight, making them simple to store at home or pop in the car boot when you’re going out to that restaurant you’ve been wanting to try.
Great for travel – whether it’s a trip to the shops, a holiday abroad, or a day out with your family, these scooters are designed to go wherever you do.
Simple to fold – many models fold at the touch of a button, so there’s no hassle or heavy lifting involved. Great if you’ve got arthritis and your fingers get a bit stuck.
Perfect for smaller spaces – ideal if you don’t have lots of storage room at home or need something that won’t take up too much space. You’ll even get these models in a smaller car boot.
Added autonomy – no need to rely on others for transport – just fold it up, take it with you, and go. You’re in charge of what you do and when.
Surprisingly comfortable – despite their compact size, all our folding scooters have good suspension and comfy seats for a smooth ride while sitting for a long time. Great if you fancy a chat in the wine aisle at Waitrose.
No need to worry about charging all the time – powerful batteries that last well, so you can get out and about without constantly thinking about the next charge. Recharging is really quick, too, when you finally need to.
Easy to use – push button controls are simple and straightforward – and easy to learn – so you can focus on enjoying every trip you take, whether out at the cinema or meeting friends at the shops.
Built to last – well-made and reliable, with quality materials that keep you moving for years to come. And at TGA Mobility, you’ll get customer service that’s built to last, too.

We could talk about the build quality and ease of use of our folding mobility scooters all day, but what do real users think? Let’s hear from one of them.
Customer Reviews and Feedback on TGA Folding Mobility Scooters
Father Pip Bevan, a 79-year-old retired priest with mobility difficulties, says his folding Maximo mobility scooter has helped him regain the joy of independent travel in London.
“As we live on the seventh floor, the major plus for us was that the battery comes off for charging upstairs, meaning we could leave the scooter downstairs in our storeroom,” says Father Pip. “The Maximo also folds, making storage easy, and we can fit it into our car.”
“I love the way it has been beautifully put together as I understand engineering,” he continues. “Even if you look at the joints and moving parts, you can see they don’t need to be oiled or greased. Just wonderful design, brilliant.”
“Before owning my Maximo I could just about get to the church and back, whereas now I can drive,” adds Father Pip. “Access can be tricky in London sometimes, however, my Maximo copes admirably going up and down drop kerbs or tackling slopes.”
“It’s perfect,” he concludes. “It’s not too big and I can see it will be ideal for local shopping and museum trips too. I can stay on the pavement and get through quite remarkably narrow gaps which I thought impossible. It will really open up central London for me, so I’m really delighted with it.”
