As the name suggests, portable scooters are the easiest type of scooter to transport. They disassemble to fit into the most compact of cars. Although portable scooters disassemble into pieces as light as 10kg., they're no lightweight when it comes to performance, with typical weight capacities between 113kg and 159kg at speeds up to 8kph, and driving ranges of 16kl to 32kl, based on model.
Portable scooters come in 3 and 4 wheel versions. 3 wheel portable scooters are more maneuverable than 4 wheel portable scooters, turning in tighter spaces. However, 4 wheel scooters offer a bit more foot room than 3 wheel scooters, and can feel more assured on varied terrain outdoors (however, portable scooters are not meant for exceptionally aggressive outdoor terrain).
What's required to transport a typical portable scooter
![]() Shoprider QT4
Comprising 4 lightweight pieces, this mini scooter is exceptionally small and easy to transport assembled or unassembled. Flip up arm rests, padded seat, reverse beeper and lift-off battery pack are also featured. Often overlooked when purchasing a small 4 wheel scooter is the turning circle...try the QT 4 and you will be surprised.

![]() Shoprider QT8
Similar in design and performance to the tried and proven QT 4 but with a slightly larger frame to accommodate taller users. Sitting in a small scooter for long periods can be very uncomfortable and that's where the QT 8's padded mid-back seat is really appreciated. Includes interchangeable clip on panels.
