Li-Tech Velo Electric Folding Mobility Scooter

The Li-Tech Velo is our most advanced indoor / pavement folding mobility scooter, with a 17.4 Ah lithium battery and an automatic folding frame.

Lithium-ion batteries use the most advanced battery technology available - the same batteries are used in Tesla's electric cars and modern smartphones. Lithium-ion batteries have double the energy density of standard nickel-cadmium batteries, which means we can use smaller batteries to power our scooters over a standard distance. The Velo's 17.4 Ah battery travels 10.6 miles on a full charge and weighs just 3.5kg. And charging the battery is easy - the Velo comes with an on-board charge socket, plus an off-board battery charger that allows you to top up at home without needing to remove the mobility scooter from your car boot.

The Velo has a height adjustable delta tiller and a padded seat with height adjustable armrests, offering a very comfortable ride. The tiller uses touch screen technology on the control panel with built-in security features to lock and unlock the scooter. Unlock your scooter using either a 4-digit passcode or the keyless RF (radio frequency) fob.

A remote control activates the automatic electric folding mechanism, which unfolds the scooter in just 8 seconds. This rapid folding and unfolding allows you to pack the scooter away quickly, making it perfect for travelling on public transport.

The Velo's top speed of 4mph is ideal for riding on a pavement, but for the safest driving experience you can manually limit the top speed to avoid going too fast in shops or on busy areas.

One of the biggest improvements we've made to the Velo is the larger wheel size - the four 20cm wheels are more stable than the smaller wheels that are standard on other folding scooters. The Velo also has a longer and wider base, offering more leg room to taller riders. The armrests are fully adjustable and can be lifted up, slid back and rotated to the side for safer mounting and dismounting.

Although this is not a road legal scooter, it comes with front and rear LED lights, plus brake lights, which provide excellent visibility for early morning and evening use and give pedestrians and other pavement users warning when you come to a stop. There is also a horn, and a rear bumper provides additional protection.

The Li-Tech Velo is an excellent example of a modern lightweight folding pavement scooter with great battery performance. We think it will quickly become one of the best electric folding mobility scooters in the UK, so book a test drive today to see if you agree.
