Whether it’s long-term or short-term, the restrictions that a disability can place on your life can be incredibly frustrating. If you were used to regularly getting out and about, socialising, and even travelling abroad, it can a shock to the system to feel like these things are no longer manageable. Of course, transportable options are available in the form of transit and some pavement scooters, but many models still present the problems of bulk and weight. If you’re looking to travel abroad, your scooter needs to be as lightweight and convenient as possible. The CareCo Scootcase, a brand new addition to the portable mobility scooter market, tackles these problems with a simple yet innovative design.

CareCo Scootcase

The CareCo Scootcase folds down and fits into a suitcase, making it the ideal companion for those who love to travel abroad, whether that’s by plane, train or cruise ship.

The CareCo Scootcase takes a fresh approach to helping those who love to travel and don’t want to be held back by their mobility problems. With the ability to be folded down to fit into a suitcase, the Scootcase makes convenience its biggest selling point. If you are a regular traveller, whether that’s by plane, cruise ships, or trains, the benefits of this will not need to be explained to you.  You could even ride your scooter up until the point of check-in – just fold the Scootcase down, slot it into the suitcase, and check in. The batteries are certified to be aeroplane-safe (though it’s always worth checking with airlines about any possible travel restrictions), and with a total weight of just 31kg (4st 8 lbs) you shouldn’t be facing any expensive baggage surplus charges. There’s no compromise on the quality of the suitcase either. Solid and robust, your Scootcase will be protected even from the most careless baggage handlers!

You might feel that the Scootcase doesn’t look like the hardiest of mobility scooters. And it’s true that it lacks the luxury features of other models, such as a captain’s seat or suspension system. However, much thought has gone in to making this one of the most convenient and versatile mobility scooters on the market. Despite its slender frame, the Scootcase is still capable of bearing up to 100kg (15st 10lbs) over a distance of 6 miles on a full charge. And there’s a large motor too, so you can reach speeds of up to 4mpCareCo Scootcaseh with ease. You won’t find a more compact or convenient mobility scooter on the market – the heaviest part is only 21kg (3st 4lbs) – and you won’t find a mobility scooter that’s easier to travel with, so you really don’t have to give up on your adventures.

All CareCo scooters are supplied with batteries and a charger, and include free courier delivery as well as 12 months parts and labour warranty including home engineer call out. The Scootcase is available from CareCo for £999.00 with VAT relief.
