Mr Mobility Launches Travel Mobility Scooters to Expand Independence in South Africa
A New Era of Comfort and Convenience: Introducing Travel Mobility Scooters for Every Journey
Mr Mobility, a trusted name in assistive mobility solutions, is proud to unveil a comprehensive line of travel mobility scooters tailored to meet the growing demand for lightweight, foldable, and easy-to-operate mobility aids in South Africa. Designed for freedom, built for convenience, and delivered with care, this new range allows users to live life on their own terms—confidently and independently.
Whether you’re planning a quick trip to the shops, enjoying a scenic day in the park, or heading to an event with friends, Mr Mobility’s travel mobility scooters ensure that your journey is just as enjoyable as your destination.
Why Travel Mobility Scooters Matter
Helping South Africans Move Freely
In South Africa, mobility scooters offer more than just transport—they’re essential tools for regaining independence and improving daily quality of life. Travel scooters are especially appealing for their ease of transport and use, making them ideal for everyday tasks and travel alike.

Designed for Real Life
Unlike larger mobility scooters, travel models are built for simplicity and versatility. They’re easy to fold, light enough to lift, and intuitive to operate—offering excellent mobility support whether you’re navigating shopping malls or boarding a plane.
How to Choose the Right Travel Mobility Scooter
Choosing the right travel mobility scooter depends on your lifestyle, preferences, and how you plan to use it day to day. While all four models at Mr Mobility are designed for convenience, independence, and portability, understanding the key features that matter to you will help guide your decision.
Start by thinking about where you’ll use your scooter most often. If you’re mainly using it indoors or in shopping centres, compact models with tighter turning circles—like the ST1—might suit you best. For longer outdoor journeys or uneven paths, scooters with more robust suspension and extended battery range—like the CTM HS328 or Transformer—offer extra comfort and durability.
Portability is also a vital factor. If you or your caregiver will need to lift or store the scooter frequently, lightweight models like the Transformer or Mobie are ideal. They fold down quickly and are approved for air travel, making them perfect for holidays or family visits.
Other features to consider include tiller and seat adjustability, lighting and safety systems, weight capacity, and whether you need armrests. Comfort, safety, and practicality should always guide your selection.
At Mr Mobility, we offer honest guidance tailored to your needs. Our team is here to walk you through the pros and cons of each model and help you feel confident in your choice. Mobility shouldn’t be complicated—just effective, empowering, and suited to your everyday life.

Key Questions to Ask Before Buying a Mobility Scooter
Before you purchase or rent a travel mobility scooter, it’s worth asking a few key questions to ensure the model you choose is the right match for your needs. At Mr Mobility, we believe that being informed is the first step to independent movement.
1. How often will I use my mobility scooter?
If your scooter is for occasional use—such as trips to the mall or attending appointments—a smaller, easily foldable model like the Mobie or ST1 may be more than sufficient. For daily, longer trips or uneven terrain, a sturdier scooter like the CTM HS328 could offer better support.
2. Will I need to transport the scooter often?
If you’re regularly lifting the scooter into a car or plan to fly with it, lightweight designs with quick-folding systems and airline-safe batteries—like the Transformer—are ideal.
3. How much range do I need on a single charge?
Different scooters offer different battery ranges. The Mobie, with a battery backup system, lets you travel up to 26 miles if you carry a second battery. If long trips are common in your routine, consider models that support extended range without sacrificing comfort.
4. What safety features do I require?
From anti-tip wheels to illuminated controls, ensure your model is fitted with essential features that match your environment and vision needs—especially if you’ll be out during low light conditions.
Our team is always ready to answer these questions with you and find a model that meets your goals, not just your symptoms.

Travel Tips with a Mobility Scooter
A travel mobility scooter isn’t just a device—it’s your passport to greater freedom. Whether you’re planning a local adventure, holiday getaway, or a simple outing, these tips can help you get the most out of your mobility scooter experience.
Plan Your Route:
Always check that your destination is accessible and scooter-friendly. Look for places with ramps, lifts, and wide doorways. If you’re using public transport or air travel, call ahead to confirm scooter accommodation policies.
Charge Ahead:
Ensure your battery is fully charged before leaving home. For longer journeys, carry your charger and consider a second battery if your model allows (such as the Mobie). This gives you peace of mind, especially when you’re out for the day.
Keep It Clean and Dry:
After each outing, give your scooter a quick wipe down—especially if you’ve travelled over wet or dusty surfaces. Keep it stored in a dry space and avoid exposure to rain, which can damage electrical parts over time.
Pack Smart:
Use a front basket or side bag for essentials like water, snacks, keys, or medications. Avoid overloading, and distribute weight evenly to maintain balance.
Stay Visible and Safe:
Make sure your scooter’s lights, reflectors, and hooter are working properly—particularly for early mornings or late afternoons. Choose bright colours or add reflective strips to boost visibility.
With the right approach, your travel mobility scooter becomes more than just a tool—it’s a partner in living fully, freely, and without limitations.
