Folding ECV

[EpcotQueen]

Finally convinced DH he needs an ECV here at home too. Interested in folding ones. Anyone have any experience with either the Pride folding ECV or the EV Rider folding?

I have noticed these have become quite popular around Disneyland and saw a fair number at Disney World as well:

I spoke with someone who has one and absolutely loves it, I know there are getting to be many others as well though.

Yeah, the thing with folding scooters is the weight. The Tzora the poster above me linked is about 80 lbs. Pride’s folding scooter is 51 lbs and EV Rider’s scooter is 46 lbs.

Just like with manual chairs, the folding mechanism is going to add weight. A lighter weight for the unit will mean a trade off in user weight capacity or battery power. Kind of hard to get around that. There is a saying for laptop computers that fits here.

Size. Performance. Price. Pick any two.
