Description
The Helix is Travel Buggy's four-wheel folding scooter, built so one person can pack it into a car in a single motion without taking it apart.
Who is it for?
- A rider up to 265 lb who wants a scooter light enough to lift into a trunk.
- Someone who travels by car, train or plane and needs the scooter to pack small.
- Riders who want a four-wheel base with a wide track and pivot steering for tight aisles.
What has to fit?
- Unfolded, 40 in long, 24 in wide and 30 in high.
- Folded, 35 in long, 24 in wide and 13.7 in high, and it stands upright on its own.
- Seat 15.75 in wide by 14.75 in deep, with 2.5 in of cushion.
- Turning radius 37 in, so it turns in a small hallway.
How far and how fast?
- Top speed 6 km/h (3.7 mph) on five speed settings.
- Range 20 km (12.5 mi) from two lithium batteries that sit in bays under the seat and switch over on their own.
- Incline rating 10 degrees and a 250 W brushless motor.
- Front headlight, and a rear light that comes on when the scooter reverses.
How does it fold for the car?
- One pull on the fold lever lays the tiller flat and drops the frame, with nothing to unbolt.
- A built-in tow handle in the footrest lets you roll it folded, like a suitcase.
- The two batteries are billed as airline approved, so check the battery with your airline before you fly.
What else compares?
If you do not need a flat fold, a travel scooter is the closer match, and the full-size models live under mobility scooters. Storage for the folded scooter comes from scooter accessories.
Frequently asked questions
Does it come apart to lift it?
No. It folds in one pull and stays in one piece at 55 lb. There is nothing to remove.
Can I take the batteries on a plane?
Travel Buggy calls them airline approved, but the final say is the airline's. Check the battery with the carrier first.
How long does a charge take?
The maker does not publish a charging time, so we will not guess one. The charger is a separate 24 V 2 A unit.
Is the charger in the box?
The Helix ships with its batteries and lights. The charger is sold as a separate Travel Buggy accessory.
