Loading The Luggie Scooter In The Car Boot

One of the most common concerns for people conducting research on portable mobility scooters, is whether they can lift the scooter up to load into the car boot, and if it will fit. When you think about it, it really is not surprising because the portable light weight scooter aspect is the reason to purchase a portable mobility scooter in the first place. This is where there is a massive point of difference with Luggie, compared to other folding mobility scooters in the market.

With the Luggie scooter, you can make use of the leverage in the half fold position, meaning you’re effectively lifting half the weight of the mobility scooter.

How To Easily Load The Luggie Scooter Into A Car Boot

  1. Have the chassis extended (not folded), with the tiller folded down and locked into the chassis, with the seat lowered down.
  2. Pick up the front of the Luggie scooter and position it against the lip of the car boot with the end of the Luggie on the ground.
  3. Then, making sure the top of Luggie is wedged over the lip of the car boot, and won’t roll down, lift the end of the Luggie from the ground leveraging the weight and roll it in.

The Luggie is the only portable mobility scooter available where you can do that. Other portables on the market fold in one action, so you’re left having to pick up the dead weight of the scooter. Believe me, this is a very valuable feature unique to Luggie when loading in the car boot on a regular basis.

The other concern; “will it fit in the car boot”? is not an issue due to the compactness of The Luggie when fully folded. Even small hatch backs don’t present a problem and have sufficient room to transport your Luggie scooter.
