The best mobility scooter depends on how you'll use it. Everyday scooters come in wide line-ups with power chairs beside them, travel scooters are sold as folding models for flights and cruises, and rental services let you hire one for a trip. Decide between everyday, travel and rental first, then compare the makers within it.
Mobility scooter shopping can feel like a maze of model names. Read the makers' own pages side by side, though, and they sort into three groups: everyday line-ups, folding travel scooters and rental for trips.
This list covers ten makers and sellers, using only what each one's own site says, read on 2 Nov 2026 (as of Nov 2026). It's alphabetical and in no particular order. A scooter is a personal mobility device, so try one before you buy and ask your care team or supplier which type suits you. That's why there are no specs on this page: those are questions for someone who can see you use it.

Everyday, travel or rental: three kinds of seller
Here's the split a searcher wouldn't guess. Everyday line-ups come from Pride Mobility, which has a page to view all its scooter models, from Shoprider, and from Golden Technologies, which sells 'Lift Recliners, Mobility Scooters, and Power Wheelchairs'. Travel scooters come from Enhance Mobility ('Airline & Cruise Travel Ready', 'One-Touch Automatic Folding'), EV Rider ('Foldable & Travel Electric Mobility Scooters') and TravelScoot. And Scootaround is rental: 'Mobility Scooter & Wheelchair Rental', with cruise rental equipment.
- Everyday: a wide line-up of scooter styles, sold beside power chairs and lift chairs by the makers here.
- Travel: folding scooters sold for flights and cruises, with travel accessories.
- Rental: a scooter hired for a trip, delivered where you need it.
One name on the list goes back a long way. Amigo Mobility says it made the first power-operated vehicle/scooter and was founded in 1968, and today it sells personal scooters beside motorized shopping carts for stores.
Everyday scooters and the power chairs beside them
The everyday makers sell scooters as one part of a bigger mobility line-up. One lists travel, 3-wheel, 4-wheel, folding and EZ Turn scooters, next to Jazzy power chairs and lift chairs. Another runs from its compact Echo Folding scooter to the full-sized Enduro, with power chairs and accessories. A third sells travel scooters and power wheelchairs beside lift recliners and hi low beds.
Merits Health goes further into the home, with stairlifts and seating beside its power wheelchairs and scooters. If someone in the family may need a power chair, lift chair or stairlift later, it's worth seeing what the same maker sells, so you're dealing with one maker.

Folding scooters for flights and cruises
The travel makers lead with folding. One distributor's Transformer 2 has one-touch automatic folding and remote-controlled operation, and its page calls it airline and cruise travel ready. Another maker sells foldable models under names such as Transport, Nomad, CityCruzer and MiniRider Lite, beside daily options.
A third travel maker has the longest list of travel extras here: a Cruise Kit, a luggage carrier system, a folding crate with handle and a portable curb ramp. It also has guides called Tips For Cruise Ships and Air Travel With An Electric Mobility Scooter, so read those before you book a trip.
Hiring a scooter for a trip
Renting is the quick way to try a type before buying. The rental service here lists cities such as Orlando, Las Vegas, Anaheim and Miami, cruise ports such as Cape Canaveral, Galveston and Fort Lauderdale, and cruise lines including Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Norwegian and Princess. Its page says that once you've booked, it can deliver to wherever you need it.
It also has a rental app, instructional videos, scooter troubleshooting pages and help with repairs while traveling. And one of the travel makers lists rentals on its own menu too.
Accessories worth asking about
Accessories are where daily life with a scooter gets easier. Hoveround sells everything from vehicle lifts and ramps to cup holders and tote bags. The travel maker above sells a portable curb ramp and luggage carrier, and the everyday makers each have a scooter accessories section.
Questions to take to your supplier
- Will I use the scooter mostly at home, around town or on trips?
- Do I need it to fold for a car, a flight or a cruise?
- Would renting one first help me decide on a type?
- Which accessories will I need, such as a ramp or a vehicle lift?
- Who services it near me, and is there a local dealer?
- Can I try the model before I buy it?

My advice on choosing a mobility scooter
Start with where you'll use it, not with the model names. If it's for trips, look at the folding travel makers and their travel guides, and think about renting one for your next holiday first. If it's for everyday use, look at the everyday makers and find the dealer near you, because that's who you'll go back to for service.
