Solax / Monarch Mobie Plus Folding/Portable Mobility Scooter

Our Take

The Solax / Monarch Mobie Plus is a modern folding four-wheel scooter. It’s a Class 2 model. So it runs on pavements at up to 4 mph. However, it isn’t made for the road. Four wheels give it a steady, easy ride.

The scooter carries users up to 115 kg. Meanwhile, a full charge covers around 15 miles. That’s plenty for shopping and local outings.

The frame folds down for storage. However, the listed weight is 80 kg, so it stays heavy even folded. Because of that, you’ll likely need a ramp or hoist to load it rather than lifting it by hand.

The Solax / Monarch Mobie Plus suits someone who wants a stylish scooter that stows away at home. So if you have space to store it folded, it fits well. Buyers who need a light lift into the car should check the weight carefully first.

Easy loading and storage are what the Solax / Monarch Mobie Plus is about, and a handful of other scooters offer much the same. The Electric Mobility/Rascal Veo stops a little sooner at 10 miles and the Kymco Mini Comfort comes apart into liftable pieces, while the Van Os Medical Travelux Tiempo trims the weight to 48kg.

The Solax / Monarch Mobie Plus is all about convenience — light to lift and easy to store. It’s well worth a test ride to see how it feels for you day to day.
