Car Boot Scooters
There are many different types of mobility scooters available to pick from. One of the most convenient methods to transport a mobility scooter is using a car boot.
It's especially useful when traveling, as it's possible to fold the scooter into one piece and take it along with you. It's also an excellent idea to ensure your car has enough room in the boot to accommodate it.
Easy to transport
If you're looking for a solution to make driving in your car more comfortable the mobility scooter that can fit into the boot of your vehicle is a good option. These devices are lightweight and can be easily put away when not in use. This makes them a practical solution for everyday tasks like shopping, running errands and going out for a night out.
Some of the most popular models can fold flat to fit in smaller spaces. Some models are even powered by electricity, making them easier for you to transport. They can be disassembled and then put back together.
When choosing a vehicle-based device it is essential to think about your life style. If you are frequent flyer and require an easy-to-transport device then a folding scooter is most likely the best option for you. You'll still need to take into account the cost and space required for storing your device, but it'll be much less of a hassle than attempting to lift the weight of a heavy object into your trunk.
You have a range of choices, so make sure you study your options and choose the mobility device that best meets your requirements. You'll be pleased to know that at the end of the day, you'll be able to enjoy life more independently.
Easy to dismantle
Moving a mobility scooter around in a vehicle can be incredibly challenging for many. The issue is how to take the scooter apart and reassemble it without damaging it. It's a good idea to familiarise yourself with the instructions given by the manufacturer before attempting to load it into your car boot, as this will make the entire job much easier.
There are plenty of different 4 mph mobility scooters that fold or dismantle to make this job simpler. There are also scooters that come with a removable battery pack, making it even easier to transport and load into your vehicle.
The best way to pack the scooter inside your car boot is by placing the heaviest rear section first, and then the front section. This will shield your boot from scratches and help to disperse the weight evenly over the scooter. After that, you can add the seat and battery pack and finally the front basket. It is important to keep a blanket in the back of your boot because this will protect the paintwork on your car from being scratched.

Our car boot scooters consist of five major parts that can be lifted and put together in just a few seconds. They are small enough to fit in the boot of a car, truck or van and are ideal for a trip to the great outdoors again!
The Freerider Luggie, for example is one of the lightest and most compact models that can be collapsed to fit inside the rear of the hatchback or the boot of a car. The scooter can be lifted into the car by a friend or family member, and then removed as needed.
It's a simple way to get a scooter into a car and saves the driver a lot of time and energy in the long run. Some models include a storage compartment so that you can keep your spare batteries and other accessories in the compartment for when you are out and out and about.
Another popular option is a ramp that folds, which can be pulled up and then folded away when not in use, thus saving space in your car. This is particularly beneficial when your mobility scooter is very tall, as it allows you to select the appropriate slope to fit it into the boot.
If a ramp isn't an option for you, you may consider hoists that allow you to lift your powerchair or scooter into the boot of a car by pressing the button. Hoists like these can be easily installed and do not require permanent modifications. They can be used on multiple vehicles at the same time.
It can be difficult for many people to get a scooter in a boot. This can be especially difficult when you are unable to walk and are not strong, or if you're the only person to lift the scooter. This is a big issue for families that have disabled children, or for those who must transport the scooter or wheelchair when travelling or visiting a new area.
Easy to store
Car boot scooters can be a great option for transporting mobility aids as well as wheelchairs when you're traveling. They are lightweight and can be folded to be stored in the back of your vehicle. They're also simple to use, and can be removed.
The best models fold down in seconds and can be folded away without tools and are a great choice for those who need mobility scooters for regular use or for when you travel. Some models, like the Apex Rapid, are compact and feature all-around suspension. They can be tucked away in small boots.
Many folding models, such as the Genie+ and SupaLite, also have automatic disassembly features that make them quick and simple to take apart. MyMobilityScooters lets you easily move it into your car without any time or hassle.
Another option to store your mobility scooter is using ramps which can be lowered at the right height, then pushed into the boot of your vehicle. These ramps are available in different sizes and forms, so you can pick the one that best fits your needs.
Some of these types of ramps are telescopic and fold up to the same size when not in use, while others are wide enough, making it easier for you to get your scooter into the car's boot. You can choose between different ramps based on your individual needs, so it's best to do your research prior to making a purchase.
Wheeled access vans (WAVs) are an excellent option for those who require a long-term solution for your mobility storage for your scooter. They are typically more expensive than the other options, but they are also easier to move around and can aid you in getting your scooter in and out of your car's boot with ease.
Some of the latest models available can even be used on public transportation easily, which means they can be carried when you're out and about. This is great for people with weak or limited mobility muscles, since they can travel wherever they like.
