What is the world’s lightest mobility scooter?

If you’re seeking a small and lightweight mobility scooter to help you travel with ease, look no further as we reveal the world’s lightest mobility scooters.

We’ve broken down both the world’s lightest boot scooters, which can easily be taken apart to place in your car boot, and the world’s lightest folding mobility scooters, which fold down with the touch of a button.

The lightest car boot mobility scooters in the world

 

The Monarch Air is the lightest genuine 4-wheel boot scooter in the world.

At Monarch Mobility, we set out to substantiate the above claim by researching those companies which have similar assertions or state that their scooter is one of the lightest on the market.

Below is a list of retailers that offer lightweight 4-wheel boot scooters, along with their weight (excluding battery).

The battery is excluded from the weight survey, as the user needs to know exactly how much weight they will be lifting into or out of a boot in one go. Components which can be easily detached (such as batteries and seats) are typically listed separately. The weight of the Monarch Air is 14.8kg excluding the battery, nevertheless the combined weight is STILL significantly less than the total weight of the nearest competitor.

A lot of thought has gone into this amazing, feather-light scooter. Though “lightness” was a design priority, we refused to compromise on build quality. That’s why the AIR is made from super-strong magnesium alloy.

Putting YOUR Safety First

Three-wheelers might be light, but they are very unforgiving on corners (even at low speeds). Four wheels, on the other hand, are far more reassuring! The AIR not only feels safe to operate, it offers the perfect driving position thanks to an adjustable tiller guarantees.

  • Premium build quality
  • Lightweight
  • 8” PU wheels, solid front and back
  • Maximum weight capacity 125kg
  • 120W brushless motor
  • Maximum speed 4mph
  • Weighs only 14.75Kg (excluding battery & seat cushion)
  • 10Ah battery included

The above list represents 4-wheel scooters. There are, of course, lightweight 3-wheel scooters available on the market which trade stability for weight reduction. However, Monarch Mobility does not sell 3-wheel boot scooters.
