The eFOLDi Lite: Everyday Freedom, Beautifully Simple
The eFOLDi Lite is our most popular scooter, and for good reason. At just 14kg (16kg with battery), it's one of the lightest folding mobility scooters in the world. It folds in seconds using three colour-coded handles, fits into virtually any car boot and requires absolutely no assembly.
For someone who wants to get to the shops, enjoy a walk in the park, or simply move around the home and neighbourhood with confidence, the Lite is the ideal companion. The solid, puncture-proof tyres mean zero maintenance, and the tight three-wheel turning radius makes it easy to navigate indoors.
The eFOLDi Lite is the right choice if your priority is:
The lightest possible weight
Low maintenance (solid tyres, simple controls)
Smooth footpaths, shopping centres and indoor use
A more accessible price point
The eFOLDi Explorer: More Range, More Capability
The Explorer is the step-up model: award-winning and built for people who want to go further and tackle more varied conditions. It's still portable and folds in seconds, but it adds significantly more range (up to 22 km), a higher top speed (12 km/h), pneumatic tyres for a smoother ride on uneven ground and four-point suspension seating for longer journeys.
If your parent loves exploring further afield, plans to travel regularly, or spends time on terrain beyond smooth footpaths, the Explorer is worth the investment.
The eFOLDi Explorer is the right choice if your priority is:
Greater range and longer outings
Varied terrain: uneven paths, grass, gentle slopes
Higher speed for keeping up on outings
Premium comfort for longer rides
