The Drive DeVilbiss AeroCarbon carbon fibre mobility scooter represents advanced lightweight engineering in portable mobility solutions. Built with premium carbon fibre construction instead of traditional materials, this innovative scooter achieves an exceptional carry weight of just 13kg without battery and armrests.
Ultra-Lightweight Carbon Fibre Folding Scooter — Just 13kg
The Drive DeVilbiss AeroCarbon combines carbon fibre construction with a compact folding design to deliver one of the lightest folding mobility scooters available. At just 13kg without battery and armrests, it fits easily into a car boot, onto public transport, or into an aircraft hold — making it suited to travel, commuting, and everyday use.
Carbon Fibre Frame
Built from carbon fibre rather than standard aluminium or steel, the AeroCarbon frame provides high strength and durability at a fraction of the weight. The total product weight including battery is 15.44kg, and the folded dimensions of just 69 × 52 × 38cm (0.14 cubic metres) make it one of the most compact folding scooters on the market. At 96cm in length when unfolded, it sits within the 100cm public transport size limit for scooters in the UK.
One-Touch Folding and Modular Design
The AeroCarbon folds quickly with a one-touch mechanism. For storage, the armrests, seat cushion, and battery can all be removed separately, reducing bulk further. The folded unit stands upright and can be pulled along like a small suitcase.
LCD Display with NFC Keyless Start
The integrated LCD display shows real-time battery capacity, speed, range, and built-in self-diagnostics for straightforward troubleshooting. The scooter starts via NFC keyless activation — simply tap to power on, with no traditional key required.
Rear Suspension and Comfort
Rear suspension smooths out uneven surfaces, while the padded seat with backrest and flip-up armrests provides support during use and additional stability when getting on or off the scooter. The tiller height is adjustable to accommodate different user heights.
All-Round LED Lighting
Integrated LED lights are fitted around the scooter for visibility in all lighting situations, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use throughout the year.
Airline-Friendly Lithium-Ion Battery
The 25.2V 10Ah lithium-ion battery is classified as air travel safe and can be charged using the included on-board charger or an optional off-board charging dock (FLEXAC1, sold separately). A second battery is also available (part number 309217400000R) for extended range. Always confirm battery acceptance with your airline before travel.
Performance
The 24V 150W DC brushless motor delivers a top speed of 4mph and a manufacturer-stated range of up to 9.4 miles per charge. Range is based on a 100kg user and will vary depending on user weight, terrain, gradient, and battery condition. The scooter supports a maximum user weight of 125kg (19.7st) and includes an anti-tip wheel for added stability.
Classification and Registration
The AeroCarbon is a Class 2 mobility vehicle under The Use of Invalid Carriages on Highways Regulations 1988. It is designed for use on pavements, pedestrian areas, and cycle paths at up to 4mph. It does not require DVLA registration and cannot be used on roads. The scooter is also classified as Class A under EN 12184:2022.
