Drive Medical InstaFold Folding/Portable Mobility Scooter

Our Take

The Drive Medical InstaFold Folding/Portable Mobility Scooter is a compact, four-wheel Class 2 folding scooter. It runs at up to 3.7 mph, so it suits pavements and shops, not the road. Drive no longer list it, so confirm availability with a dealer.

It carries riders up to 120 kg (18.9 stone). A full charge covers around 9.9 miles, enough for shopping trips and days out by car. The 150 W motor handles slopes up to 6 degrees.

Weight is the point of this scooter. Drive publish 23.6 kg all in, and the lithium pack weighs 1.9 kg of that. Lift the pack out by its handle and the folded scooter drops to about 21.7 kg. It folds and unfolds as one piece at the press of a button on the key fob or the pack. Folded, it measures 87 by 46 by 40 cm, so it fits most car boots.

The Drive Medical InstaFold suits someone who travels by car and wants a scooter that folds itself in seconds. Anyone who needs longer range, higher speed or more ground clearance should look at a larger model.

If a self-folding scooter that lifts into the boot is the priority, three others here are worth a look. The Solax / Monarch Mobie Plus is a close match on the numbers. The Drive Medical AutoFold Pro is heavier at 26.2 kg, and the Pride Mobility Quest goes further at 10 miles. Each is worth weighing up before you commit.

The Drive Medical InstaFold earns its place on portability. Even so, nothing beats trying a model yourself before you commit. To compare prices near you, try the Find this Product Near Me search. Buyer’s Guide covers the key things to check.
