When you either temporarily or permanently lose the ability to get around, a mobility scooter can help you regain your mobility, providing support both indoors and outdoors. But when you travel frequently, most mobility scooters are too heavy, cumbersome, or too large to fit into a car or on public transit, leaving people with disabilities stranded at home.
With the innovative EV Rider Transport AF+ Automatic Folding Scooter, people living with mobility impairments can now enjoy traveling again! Lightweight and easy to fold or unfold with a touch of a button, the Transport AF+ is airline-approved and can be taken along in a car, bus, train, or cruise ship. Read on to learn more about how this new mobility scooter from EV Rider is innovating the industry and changing lives for the better.
As a key benefit contributing to this mobility scooter’s convenient portability, the automatic folding feature delivers unrivaled ease of use. Unlike other scooters that don’t fold or those that require multiple steps and strain to collapse, the EVRider Transport AF+ automatically folds in seconds with a simple touch of a button on a wireless remote! This product is one of our ideal scooters for seniors and those living with mild cognitive impairment, its fast and easy foldability is also very much appreciated by users living with other disabilities that make it challenging to transport, fold and unfold a scooter.
Great alternative for owners of folding wheelchairs, this automatic folding scooter is simple to transport so you can take it along for mobility support wherever you roam. Folding down compactly with dimensions that easily fit into most car trunks, the small, collapsed size also fits into a closet or underneath a bed for out-of-the-way storage when it’s not in use. Although most mobility scooters are not foldable or can be quite heavy even when split into separate components, the EV Rider Transport AF+ truly lives up to its name. As one of the lightest travel scooters weighing in at just 49 pounds, this innovative scooter provides optimal transport you can utilize anywhere.
While larger, heavier mobility scooters often offer a higher turning radius of almost 100 inches, the Transport AF+ provides a much tighter turning radius of 31 inches. This makes it easier to maneuver indoors and in smaller spaces like apartments, hallways, store aisles, bathrooms, and other not yet universally visitable places. This upgraded version of the original EV Transport AF offers the same stability as a 4-wheel scooter, but without sacrificing the lower turning radius that 3-wheel scooters typically provide. Best-of-class steering and handling further optimize maneuverable navigation.
With its sleek and modern style, the EV Rider Transport AF+ outshines the competition, enabling its users to travel in style. Different from mobility scooters that are plain in appearance or those that look like medical equipment, this contemporary mobility scooter comes with a choice of four vivid, metallic colors including Blue, Copper, Burgundy, and Silver.
Specially designed for versatile transport and travel, the EV Rider Transport AF+ is ideal for people of all ages who don’t want their mobility impairments to stop them from exploring the world. Approved for airline travel and public transport, the convenient design of this innovative mobility scooter also enables users to travel widely, safely, and without issue on cruise ships, buses, and trains.
Distinct from mobility scooters that require removing the battery for off-board charging, the Transport AF+ provides convenient onboard battery recharging. All you need to do is find a convenient spot near a standard electrical outlet and plug it in! Its easy rechargeability makes this scooter simpler to use and operate independently for people who would find removing the battery difficult or impossible.
“I needed a mobility scooter I could handle by myself without my husband having to help. I have a heart condition and the EV Rider Transport AF+ has given me back the outside, on-the-go life I used to enjoy before health problems affected my mobility. I am in my 70s and I can lift it in and out from behind the driver’s seat of my minivan. I take it to doctor’s appointments, restaurants, shopping, and wherever else I go.”

With over 61 million adults living with a disability in the US, it’s never been more important to ensure mobility access. Because transportation is still a significant barrier to full inclusion for people living with disabilities, it is crucial to find mobility devices that not only help their users inside the home, but that can also be taken along in cars, airplanes, trains, buses, and cruise ships.
The EV Rider Transport AF+ Automatic Folding Scooter provides the perfect mobility solution for active, traveling adults.
