Drive Medical Scout Compact Travel Power Scooter, 3-Wheel
If you're comparing travel scooters and keep running into the same trade-off, small enough to take with you, or sturdy enough to trust, the Drive Medical Scout Compact solves it. The Scout 3-wheel travel scooter breaks down into 5 easy-to-handle pieces for the trunk of a car, van, or SUV, while still comfortably supporting up to 300 lbs.
The three-wheel frame gives you a tighter turning radius than a 4-wheel scooter, which makes a real difference navigating narrow hallways, tight store aisles, or crowded indoor spaces. A quick-connect battery pack and delta-style tiller make setup and operation easier for anyone with limited hand strength or dexterity, and color-through panels mean scuffs and scratches don't show the way they would on a painted surface.
Every Scout Compact is backed by a limited lifetime warranty on the frame.
