Micromobility options … portable and all-terrain
hello, hoping someone here can help me 🙏
I can’t walk very far due to a muscle disease and chronic fatigue syndrome
I am looking for a micro mobility device that I can take on holidays to help me get out and about. It needs to be:
- portable - able to fit in a car boot and lift able by myself.
- All Terrain, I want to be able to travel the South West Coast, in the highlands etc
- Long range or with an affordable additional battery
- A seat!
- I’d prefer it to not be a mobility scooter, they seem very bulky and obviously are marketed at older people - I’m just not sure I’m ready for that step?
Many e-bikes are too heavy for me, and my legs are always really shaken when I get off them, even if I only go around the corner. Maybe this is because I’ve only tried cheap e-bikes with torque motors and more expensive ones are better? Additionally I’d like the option of being able to use this device in airports.
e-trikes don’t seem to have the portability that I need
E-scooters are too fast for me to use safely
Mobility trikes - I’ve tried the e-foldi and it was far too low for my liking, I felt like a toddler on a go kart. I have an Atto Sport test drive Saturday …
Does anyone have any ideas?

hi Rachel! No, and my current ebike is now broken as well 😅 the options are just so expensive, it is insane

Oh no! Are there any options of paying it off monthly? I agree it's an expensive purchase to have to pay in one go!

The electric drive cannot meet your needs.
