FreeRider Luggie Mobility Scooters
Compact, folding mobility scooters for travel and everyday use
FreeRider’s Luggie range is known for ultra-compact, folding mobility scooters that are easy to lift, store and transport. Most models fold to a small footprint that fits in many car boots and can be wheeled like a suitcase — ideal for shopping trips, holidays and day-to-day errands.
Why choose the Luggie range?
- Portable design: Quick, three-step fold for fast stowage at home, in the car or on public transport.
- Light and manageable: Models start around 23.5 kg without the battery (battery ~2 kg), helping reduce lifting effort.
- Comfort and control: Adjustable tiller and seating (varies by model) with smooth, predictable drive.
- Easy charging: Many versions use a removable lithium battery (typically 10.5 Ah) so you can charge away from the scooter.
- Choice of set-ups: From nimble city models to higher-capacity versions with wider stance and longer range.
Choosing the right Luggie
Think about where and how you’ll use the scooter most:
- Portability: Check the total lifting weight and how the fold works if you’ll be lifting it regularly.
- Range: Match stated range to your usual outings and allow a buffer for hills, temperature and payload.
- Ride comfort: Tyres, seat support and suspension (where fitted) help on uneven ground.
- Controls and fit: Tiller angle/height, seat height and display visibility should feel comfortable over time.
- Classification: Most travel-focused folding scooters are for pavement use; always check the model’s class and limits.

Travel and storage
Luggie scooters are designed with storage and transport in mind. For air travel, policies vary — airlines will ask about the battery’s watt-hour rating and may require documentation. Many Luggie models use a 10.5 Ah lithium battery, but you should always confirm your exact battery and check with your airline in advance.
