The Road to the Second Scooter (a portable one)
Don’t get me wrong, I love my Triad with it’s big tires and rear wheel drive. It’s also amazingly fast and great for outdoors and amusement parks.
However for indoors and at work I want one that’s a little smaller in width and also less intimidating to people in the hallways. Also driving to work in my Prius I’d like one that can be inside and that I don’t have to worry about putting a cover on if it rains.
I found a few that I researched for those criteria. Check out the list below with links to see them. They aren’t in any order and the links are just ones that are a good example of what I found for them. I also have no relationship with any company below, I did purchase the Glion eventually, but I have no relationship other than being a customer.
- Atom trike GT: Folds small and compact. Battery is internal to the frame.
- https://www.atomtrike.com/
- This scooter seems very small and folds very simply in one piece. It gets shorter when folded.
- Smartscoot goes 3,5,and 7mph. Very compact

- Folds small and very light weight. It is 3 speeds. About 30lbs
- Travelscoot, very similar to the Smartscoot, but slower. Only one speed. Very compact.

- Only goes about 4.5mph
- Glion SnapNGo you can get it new or refurbished ( a little cheaper)
- Amazon link
- Much cheaper than the first three on the list.
- Has a nice seat, with optional travel smaller seat available.
- Can sit upright when folded and has a key lockable battery holder.
- Speedometer and odometer on the handlebars.
- The refurbished one can be found on the Glion website as they are available.
- EWheels EW-07

- Also cheaper alternative.
- Folds in a strange way and heavier than the other options on the list.
- eFOLDi Lite, was on Kickstarter
- https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/efoldi/efoldi-lite-award-winning-electric-folding-scooter
- This appears very portable, but a little slower, and has the downside of being a kickstarter campaign which is not a product that can just be ordered.
- Their company has another scooter the eFOLDi which is actually a product for sale, however it appears more difficult to fold and use, but just slightly.
- The website for the company is: https://efoldi.com
