Drive Medical AutoFold Pro Folding/Portable Mobility Scooter

Our Take

The Drive Medical Elite AutoFold Pro Max is the flagship of Drive’s automatic folding range. It sits in Class 2, so it runs on pavements rather than roads. A remote system also folds it in seconds at the touch of a button. The motor moves it along at up to 4 mph. In addition, the frame carries riders up to 136 kg.

A single charge covers around 12 miles, so it suits shorter trips and days out. Moreover, an upgraded seat and full lighting lift the comfort above the standard models. A stronger motor helps with gentle inclines. As a result, it feels premium rather than basic.

The Pro Max weighs 26.3 kg and folds into a compact package. Because it folds rather than dismantles, there are no parts to lift separately. As a result, it slides into most car boots in one piece. For many owners, therefore, car travel becomes simple.

This scooter suits frequent travellers who want the most features in an auto-folder. However, its flagship spec comes at a premium price. Buyers who only need basic folding should look at the standard AutoFold Deluxe or Travel instead. In short, for top-tier auto-folding convenience, the Drive Medical Elite AutoFold Pro Max leads the range.

Buyers looking at the Drive Medical Elite AutoFold Pro Max usually want something that goes in the car without a fuss — and it isn’t the only option there. The Electric Mobility/Rascal Vippi dismantles for the boot and the Komfi Rider Aerolite splits down to about 15kg a part, while the One Rehab/Komfi Rider Vogue is a more substantial 44kg. It’s worth a quick look at each before you decide.

Compact and travel-ready, the Drive Medical Elite AutoFold Pro Max suits days out and holidays away. Still, it’s always worth sitting on one and giving it a go before deciding.
