Drive Medical Flex 4 Wheel Auto Folding Folding/Portable Mobility Scooter

Our Take

The Drive Medical Flexx 4 Wheel Auto Folding Portable Mobility Scooter combines comfort with easy folding. It sits in Class 2, so it runs on pavements rather than roads. Four wheels also give it a stable, planted base. A remote system folds it in seconds at the touch of a button. In addition, the frame carries riders up to 136 kg.

A single charge covers around 12 miles, so shorter trips and days out fit easily. Moreover, a specially engineered frame absorbs shocks from uneven surfaces. That reduces fatigue on longer rides. As a result, it stays comfortable where rigid folders can jar.

The Flex weighs 26.3 kg and folds into a compact package. Because it folds rather than dismantles, there are no separate parts to lift. As a result, it fits into most car boots in one piece. For many owners, therefore, taking it by car is simple.

This scooter suits anyone who wants four-wheel stability, a comfortable ride and automatic folding. However, its clever mechanics cost more than a basic folder. Buyers who do not need the flex frame should look at a simpler auto-fold instead. In short, for stable, comfortable portability, the Drive Medical Flexx 4 Wheel Auto Folding Portable Mobility Scooter delivers.

The Flex earns its keep on lightweight, fold-and-go convenience, but it isn’t the only compact choice in this class. If a scooter that slips into a car boot yet still handles everyday pavement trips is what you’re after, compare it with the Rascal Vippi, the Komfi Rider Aerolite and the One Rehab Komfi Rider Vogue — all around 4mph and 10 to 12 miles, and each dismantling into parts light enough to lift rather than folding as a single unit.

As an easy-to-transport scooter, the Drive Medical Flex 4 Wheel Auto Folding is made for popping in the car and heading off. Still, it’s always worth sitting on one and giving it a go before deciding.
