Why TravelScoot Looks Different
An open frame. Removable components. A folding design. TravelScoot brings these choices together in a mobility scooter designed to go with you.
Look closer at the current Escape—and how its construction, development and support fit together.

An open view of the frame
The Escape’s triangular frame is easy to see. The open layout lets you see its tubes and connections, including where the frame folds.
A triangle with fixed-length sides holds its shape. In a folding scooter, the tubes, joints and connections also matter; geometry alone is not a strength rating.
7005 aluminum and welded construction
The Escape uses a 7005 aluminum frame. TravelScoot specifies TIG welding and heat treatment for its construction.
These describe how the frame is made. For choosing and handling a scooter, keep its stated transport weight and rider limit in view, too.
Drive at the rear. Steering at the front.
The Escape’s motor drives a rear wheel, while the front wheel steers. It uses a hub motor rather than the external belt found on early TravelScoots.
Knowing your model’s drive system helps you find the right parts and instructions.
Removable parts for transport
The seat, battery and front wheel can be removed, and the frame folds for transport. That gives you separate pieces to handle when loading.
Follow the instructions for your model, and compare the lifting weight with your own abilities.
Light weight. A defined rider limit.
Scooter weight and rider limit answer different questions. The current Escape’s figures are shown separately below.
