Travel Friendly Mobility Scooters for 2025

If you’re planning a trip, boarding a cruise, or just want something easy to take in and out of the car, travel-friendly mobility scooters make a big difference. At Comfort Medical Supply, we offer a carefully selected range of scooters that balance portability, power, and comfort. We’ve tested, stocked, and supported these models in both of our showrooms in Richmond and Fredericksburg, VA, and we’re here to help you find the one that fits your life.

Let’s take a closer look at five top models for 2025 and why one might work better for you than another:

Go-Go® Ultra X Carbon

• Weight (without battery): 37 lbs
• Weight Capacity: 300 lbs
• Top Speed: 3.7 mph
• Range: Up to 7.2 miles
• Folding Style: Manual
• Battery Type: Airline-compliant lithium

This is the lightest scooter we carry, and it shows. At just 37 pounds, the Go-Go® Ultra Carbon is incredibly easy to lift into a trunk or check at the gate. The carbon fiber frame gives it strength without the bulk. It’s not the longest-range scooter on this list, but it’s absolutely perfect for air travel or short, daily errands.

We recommend this to anyone who wants simplicity and extreme portability. It’s especially great if you’re frequently traveling or live in a smaller space.

Golden Buzzaround Carry-On

• Weight (without battery): 47.5 lbs
• Weight Capacity: 300 lbs
• Top Speed: 3.6 mph
• Range: Up to 18 miles
• Folding Style: Flat-folding with telescoping tiller
• Battery Type: Airline-approved lithium

If you’re looking for a scooter that travels well and goes the distance, the Golden Buzzaround Carry-On is our top recommendation. With a range of up to 18 miles, it’s the most long-lasting option on this list. It folds flat, stores vertically, and can roll like a suitcase when folded.

It’s a bit heavier than the Go-Go Carbon but well worth it for those who want to spend an entire day out without worrying about recharging.

So Lite Scooter by Journey

• Weight (without battery): 40 lbs
• Weight Capacity: 275 lbs
• Top Speed: 5 mph
• Range: Up to 8 miles
• Folding Style: Manual
• Tires: Flat-free

The So Lite Scooter blends comfort and mobility with one of the best turning radiuses in this category. It folds up fast and features padded armrests and a padded cushioned seat for longer rides. What we hear most from customers is how smooth it feels compared to other travel scooters.

This is a solid middle-ground option: lighter than most, more padded than the Go-Go Carbon, and stylish to boot.

Go-Go® Elite Traveller 4-Wheel

• Weight (without battery): 83 lbs
• Weight Capacity: 300 lbs
• Top Speed: 4.23 mph
• Range: Up to 13.8 miles
• Disassembly: Breaks down into 5 pieces

The Go-Go® Elite Traveller 2 4-Wheel introduces Pride’s patented EZ Turn Technology, offering the maneuverability of a 3-wheel scooter with the stability of a 4-wheel design. Its industry-leading 37” turning radius allows for effortless navigation in various environments. The scooter’s feather-touch disassembly enables quick separation into five lightweight pieces for easy transport and storage.

Go-Go® Sport 4-Wheel

• Weight (without battery): 94 lbs
• Weight Capacity: 325 lbs
• Top Speed: 4.7 mph
• Range: Up to 14.5 miles
• Disassembly: Breaks into 5 pieces
• Ground Clearance: 1.5″

This is the most rugged of the group. The Go-Go® Sport handles curbs, pavement cracks, and light outdoor terrain better than most travel scooters. It’s heavier, but customers appreciate the stability, power, and ground clearance.

If you’re planning longer outdoor trips or need a bit more weight capacity, this is the one we point people toward. It’s been reliable for years and continues to be one of our most durable options.
