Great demo I really appreciate it being that I will have to travel with my first scooter on an airplane. I’ve always had Wheelchair Assistance at the airport.
It's a totally different experience when you have your own scooter.
Thank you for this terrific, informative video.
Glad you loved it! Thanks for watching our video and commenting!
Purchase mine because of knee issues! 😣 Great product for those with mobility issues! Glad you pointed that out
You purchased this model? The i-Go? It's really nice, I love it.
Great scooter Great information. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Nice Job.... How about an IGo / Atto Side by side comparrison?
We are going to try to make one soon!
The Atto cost like $3000 the IGo has a much better price point!
@@martyman1 The Atto is to long from seat for me (I'm 5' tall) and turns in a wider radius but has a cushion plus a bag that zips below for greater storage med size pkgs. The back of the Pride I-Go seat appears to be flimsy to place a wire basket for groceries which the Pride A Go-Go has.
yeah, that would be a great comparison!
Great scooter!!! Airline approved!!!
Yes indeed!
Great video. I need a foldable travel scooter. I can't walk or stand more than 15 minutes. This looks like what I need for cruises also.
We would love to earn your business. Give our non commissioned sales experts a call if you have any questions. 888-263-5601
I’m disabled and planning to travel alone. I learn so much from watching your videos. However, I would appreciate a demonstration by a disabled person. I wonder how I would fold andunfoldthe scooter, and how I would 😊 handle the pieces when broken down.
We have a review video of the i-Go that will tackle the questions you have. For your convenience, here is the link to the video: th-cam.com/video/JxJee8CNRf0/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
Thanks for watching and commenting Mary!
Great, informative video! You didn’t need to remove the battery prior to the scooter being stowed?
Normally you do, but in this case I think they forgot to ask
Really good solution for us who need mobility assistance. Unfortunately i weight 320 so I'm too heavy for this product. I do have a Pride Jazzy 1450 I really like that has needed nothing in four years except one set of batteries which I just replaced... I can walk and stand just not for very far or long....knees...
The Jazzy 1450 is a top of the line mobility device, not many other models can compete with its abilities.
Sergio, Thank You for sharing your experience. Good information, Question, on the I-Go, did you have to bring the battery with you on the plane or were you able to leave it with the scooter? Russ
You'll need to remove it since it uses lithium batteries. Lithium batteries must be removed before gate-checking your scooter and brought on the plane with you. You can learn more from our blog post: www.mobilityscootersdirect.com/blog/mobility-scooters/traveling-on-an-airplane-with-a-mobility-scooter/

Great 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
In regards to the battery, did you have to do anything with it at check-in, at TSA or at the plane’s entrance? I had a total knee replacement two years ago, a revision 7 months ago and need the other knee done, so I’m about to buy one; I like the sugar plum I-Go, and don’t want any airport surprises ☺️
If your scooter uses sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries, they can remain in the scooter for your entire trip. If your scooter uses lithium-ion batteries, you must identify the watt-hours and ensure they are less than 300 watt-hours. You can calculate the watt-hours by multiplying the voltage and capacity of the battery (ex. 12v12ah = 144 watt-hours). Travel-friendly scooters with lithium batteries will come with a specification sheet to show the airline that it is under 300 watt-hours and FAA-compliant. Lithium batteries must be removed before gate-checking your scooter and brought on the plane with you. Of course, ample research is still recommended or you can also reach out to your airlines before booking your flight. Our blog post can also greatly help fill you in with what you need to know:

@@MobilityDirect ok, thank you! I’m buying an I-Go, but will definitely do my research.
What about the lithium battery removal?? You had to remove and place in carry on last minute??
Yes, you will need to remove the battery in most cases. In this case they did not ask me to. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. The airline companies are not very well trained on how to handle these types of things to be honest. We have done many videos like this one and 50% of the time they don't even ask about the battery.
BIG THUMBS DOWN. You're supposed to remove the battery. Half the time, you need to be reminded. Half the time, you get away with leaving the battery.
Months ago this was brought to your attention. Option 1 fix the video. Option 2 pull the video. Option 3 intentionally continue to offer really bad information.
Does anyone know if you can get a zippered cover to go over the folded scooter and zip for transport on plane. some of the smaller planes do not have tie-downs. If it is enclosed it can travel on the plane.
I am trying to find an oversized suitcase to put it in also, but a proper bag would be great Thanks
Not one made specifically for this product. At least not yet.
Yeah, that would be great! The only scooter that i know that have a designed suitcase for it is the Yoga S542. It's a shame that manufactures don't pay attention to this.
Did you take the battery with you into the plane?
Thanks for stopping by! The scooter uses a Lithium-ion battery. Lithium batteries must be removed before gate-checking your scooter and brought on the plane with you. If you haven't subscribed yet, don't forget to hit that subscribe button to get a chance to win a free mobility scooter.
Hello, Can you get arm rest for the Pride I-GO scooter?
Thanks for stopping by! Please call our parts department at (877) 321-3241
👍👍👍👍
Thanks Jose!
It would have been nice to see the seat on the scooter rather than just a quick glance at the end.
