Compact and Convenient: The Top Airline Approved Travel Mobility Scooters
You're thinking about taking a trip - perhaps domestically or overseas - and you'll be traveling by airplane. As someone using a scooter, how you'll get around first comes to mind.
Airline-approved travel scooters help you get from point A to point B with your mobility solution. Learn what qualifies for air travel and some of the top models for your journey.
What is a Travel Scooter?
Travel scooters accommodate multiple journeys ahead - by air, boat, bus and even folding into the back of your car. These models share the following characteristics:
- Lightweight, compact construction.
- A foldable or easily disassembled frame.
Airline-approved electric wheelchairs and scooters must further have a non-spillable battery if you plan to check it in as cargo or a removable lithium-ion battery you can place in your carryon bag.
