eFoldi Lightweight Mobility Scooter
eFOLDi folding mobility scooters are built for travelers who want a scooter light enough to lift into a car trunk or take on a plane. Heavy Duty Mobility is an authorized eFOLDi dealer, and every new unit comes with the full manufacturer US warranty, our price match guarantee and free shipping in the lower 48 states.
The lineup trades power for portability. The eFOLDi Lite weighs 33 lbs without its battery and travels up to 10 miles per charge, while the eFOLDi Explorer reaches 8 mph with up to a 14 mile range. Both carry riders up to 265 lbs. If you need a higher weight capacity or full suspension for rough ground, a heavier scooter will fit you better.

Who makes the eFOLDi scooter?
eFOLDi is the trading name of SunTech UK Limited, a company based in Reigate, Surrey in the United Kingdom. The scooters are designed in the UK and manufactured in China under eFOLDi’s own oversight. The brand displays the British Invention of the Year award on its site, and the eFOLDi Lite won a Naidex Award in 2024.
Where are eFOLDi mobility scooters made?
eFOLDi mobility scooters are designed in the United Kingdom but manufactured in China by eFOLDi themselves. The company, founded in 2015 by Jianmin Wang and now led by Sumi Wang, has its roots in the UK and has grown significantly since its start.
While production takes place in China, eFOLDi maintains strict quality control and oversight, ensuring the scooters meet very high standards. This attention to quality sets eFOLDi apart from many other Chinese-made scooters and supports the brand’s reputation for innovation, durability, and reliability in the mobility industry.

Best eFOLDi Mobility Scooters
1. eFOLDi Lite Foldable Lightweight Mobility Scooter
The Lite is the travel pick. eFOLDi lists it at 33 lbs without the battery, with up to a 10 mile range and a 265 lb weight capacity. It folds up quickly and carries like a small suitcase, which makes it the easier of the two to lift into a trunk or check through an airport. The tradeoff is range, so plan around shorter daily trips. New units include a 12 month manufacturer warranty.
2. eFOLDi Explorer Foldable Ultra Lightweight Mobility Scooter
The Explorer is the stronger choice for longer days out. eFOLDi rates it for up to 14 miles per charge at speeds up to 8 mph with the same 265 lb capacity, and its aluminum frame weighs about 37.5 lbs without the battery. Air filled tires and four point seat suspension smooth out rough pavement. It is heavier than the Lite, so test the lift before you commit.
For most riders we recommend the Explorer because the extra range, speed and suspension matter more day to day than the few extra pounds. Both models are in transition in the US market, so check each product page for current availability and replacement models, or call us and we will point you to the closest equivalent.
What Is the eFOLDi Compass?
The eFOLDi Compass is the brand’s first folding scooter with four wheels. eFOLDi lists it at 11 kg, around 24 lbs without the battery, and calls it the lightest 4 wheel mobility scooter in the world at that weight. The manufacturer rates it at 4 mph, gives it up to a 10 mile range and a 265 lb weight capacity, and backs its automotive grade battery cells with a 7 year battery warranty. These figures come from eFOLDi’s Compass product page.
The Compass currently sells through eFOLDi and UK dealers, and US availability is still limited. We do not stock it yet. If a light four wheel folder is what you want, call us and we will line up the closest match from our lightweight folding mobility scooters, or compare the eFOLDi Lite and Explorer above.
How long does an eFOLDi battery last?
The battery life of an eFOLDi scooter varies by model, with the eFOLDi Explorer lasting up to 14 miles on a single charge, and the eFOLDi Lite model offering up to 10 miles per charge. These distances reflect the efficient use of power in eFOLDi’s designs, catering to different user needs. The Explorer, known for its robust performance and versatility, provides a longer range, suitable for extended travel. In contrast, the Lite model, acclaimed for its ultra-lightweight and compact design, offers a slightly shorter range, ideal for daily errands and short trips. Both models showcase eFOLDi’s commitment to combining mobility convenience with innovative battery technology.
