Foldable mobility scooters offer a convenient and portable solution for those who need assistance with mobility. One of the biggest benefits of these scooters is their ability to be easily transported, including on an aeroplane. However, before packing up your foldable mobility scooter for a trip, it's important to understand the regulations and guidelines set forth by airlines.

Can I take my foldable mobility scooter on a plane?

The answer is yes, but with some restrictions. Most airlines allow small, foldable mobility scooters to be taken on board as carry-on or checked luggage, provided they meet certain size and weight requirements. Some airlines may also require that the scooter be disassembled and placed in a carrying case that meets size and weight restrictions.

The good news is that the Supa Scoota products sold by Back Care Online are approved to be taken on airlines due to their lithium ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries are considered safe for air travel, and they are widely used in a variety of consumer electronics, making them a popular choice for foldable mobility scooters.

Before travelling with your Supa Scoota foldable mobility scooter, it's important to check with the airline you'll be travelling with to verify their specific policy regarding mobility devices. Some airlines may have additional requirements or restrictions, such as disassembling the scooter, removing the battery, or using a specific carrying case.

It's a good idea to contact the airline well in advance of your trip to discuss their requirements and to make any necessary arrangements for your mobility device. You may also want to consider packing any necessary tools and spare parts, just in case something goes wrong during your trip.

In conclusion, taking your foldable mobility scooter on a plane is possible, and the Supa Scoota products sold by Back Care Online are approved for air travel due to their lithium ion batteries. However, it's important to check with your airline in advance to understand their specific policy and to make any necessary arrangements for your mobility device.
