AeroGlide travel guide
Share
A good day out should be about where you want to go. But when you are choosing a mobility scooter, getting it into the car, moving it through a hotel or storing it at home can matter just as much as the journey itself.
That is where a lightweight folding mobility scooter earns its place. The AeroGlide from Newbi Move brings together an 18kg scooter body, excluding batteries, a fold-and-pull design and up to 15 miles of combined range using both supplied batteries.
If you are looking for a scooter for shopping trips, car journeys or holidays, here is how to decide whether the AeroGlide suits your plans.
What makes the AeroGlide practical for travel?
The AeroGlide's fold-and-pull design lets you fold it for storage and move it on its wheels between places. That can be useful when your day involves switching between riding, travelling by car and storing the scooter at your destination.
The AeroGlide's key travel details are:
| Detail | AeroGlide specification |
|---|---|
| Scooter weight | 18kg excluding batteries; approximately 20kg with both fitted |
| Folding design | Folds into a compact shape that can be pulled along |
| Batteries | Two removable 24V 6.6Ah lithium batteries included |
| Maximum range | Up to 15 miles combined across both batteries, in suitable conditions |
| Folded size | 31.5 × 50.5 × 74.5cm, length × width × height |
| Maximum user weight | 120kg |

A folding mobility scooter for car journeys
A scooter that folds can be a useful choice for weekends away, visiting family or taking the car to a favourite place for lunch. The AeroGlide can also be pulled along when folded, reducing the need to carry it continuously between places.
For car-boot fit, measure the opening as well as the space inside. Check the narrowest point, the loading lip and how much room remains once your usual bags are packed. Compare those measurements with the folded dimensions above.
The quoted 18kg is the weight with both batteries removed. Whether that is manageable depends on your own lifting ability and the height of your boot; some people will still need assistance or a suitable lifting aid.
Before ordering, watch an AeroGlide folding demonstration and picture how you would load it into your own car. Look at the grip points, the folded position and where you would stand to lift it comfortably.
Up to 15 miles across two removable batteries
The AeroGlide comes with two batteries, giving a combined maximum range of up to 15 miles. That figure is for using both batteries, not 15 miles from each one.
It gives you a useful starting point when planning a shopping trip or an outing. Actual distance varies with the route, gradients, rider weight, temperature and battery condition, so allow some range in reserve for the return journey.
For a holiday, think beyond the outward trip. Where will you charge the batteries? Is the route back uphill? Will you make extra stops during the day? Those small details help you choose a scooter around the way you actually travel.
Can you take the AeroGlide on a plane?
The AeroGlide's removable lithium batteries and folding design make it a travel option worth considering for flights. If you are searching for an airline-approved mobility scooter, however, approval for your particular journey still needs to come from your airline.
The UK Civil Aviation Authority's mobility-equipment guidance asks passengers to supply the scooter's size, weight and battery details in advance. Airline requirements vary.
Before booking, ask your airline to confirm:
- Acceptance of the AeroGlide and both batteries on every flight in your itinerary.
- What battery information or documents they need.
- How the batteries must be removed, protected and carried, where applicable.
- Where you will hand over the scooter and collect it after landing.
Keep the operating manual and battery details available when travelling. Contact Newbi Move if you need help gathering the product information for your airline.
The same planning habit helps with other holidays: check your train, coach or cruise operator's scooter policy before booking, and ask your accommodation about access, storage and charging.
Useful for everyday outings as well as holidays
A travel scooter also needs to suit the places you visit regularly. Think about your supermarket, local shopping area, accessible paved routes and trips to see friends.
Consider the surfaces you will use, how much turning space you need and where you can park while stopping for a coffee. At a busy shop or attraction, room to manoeuvre matters as much as the distance travelled.
If your usual journeys involve rough ground or demanding hills, tell us about them before choosing. We can help you compare the AeroGlide with the rest of our mobility scooter range against the routes you have in mind.
