Micromobility options … portable and all-terrain

jemimanlh

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 @jemimanlh and welcome to the community 😊

I'm sure one of our members will be able to help you find something suitable. I like the sound of your travels on the coast and in the Highlands!

Hi @jemimanlh sorry no-one has been able to help. Have you found something suitable?

jemimanlh

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

Rachel_Scope

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.
