The Compass is £2,499, and both the Lite and the Explorer are £2,699. These are the VAT-relief prices, meaning the figure you pay if you qualify for VAT exemption through a long-term illness or disability. If you do not qualify, expect to add VAT on top — roughly £500 on the Compass and £540 on the Lite and Explorer. eFOLDi scooters are premium-priced for their size: you are paying for the ultralight magnesium frame and the airline-approved battery, not for range or power.",{"@type":822,"name":827,"acceptedAnswer":828},"What is the difference between the eFOLDi Compass and the eFOLDi Lite?",{"@type":824,"text":829},"The £200 gap buys suspension but costs you a wheel. The Compass is a 4-wheel scooter with no suspension at all, weighing 13 kg with its battery. The Lite is a 3-wheel scooter with 4-point floating seat suspension, weighing 16 kg with its battery. So the Compass is the lighter and more stable of the two, while the Lite is the more comfortable over rough pavement. Both are Class 2, both do 4 mph, and both have a 10-mile range.",{"@type":822,"name":831,"acceptedAnswer":832},"What is the weight limit on an eFOLDi mobility scooter?",{"@type":824,"text":833},"All three eFOLDi models — Compass, Lite and Explorer — have a maximum user weight of 120 kg, which is about 18 stone 12 lb. This is the single biggest limitation of the range and it applies across every model, so there is no heavier-duty eFOLDi to step up to. If you are near or above that figure, you need to look at another brand.",{"@type":822,"name":835,"acceptedAnswer":836},"Can you take an eFOLDi scooter on a plane?",{"@type":824,"text":837},"Yes, subject to your airline's approval. Every eFOLDi uses what the company calls an Airsafe lithium-ion battery, designed to meet airline requirements for carriage, and all three models fold small enough to be handled as checked mobility equipment. You must still notify your airline in advance and confirm their specific battery rules, as these vary by carrier and can change.",{"@type":822,"name":776,"acceptedAnswer":839},{"@type":824,"text":840},"Yes. The Explorer is a Class 3 scooter capable of 8 mph, which makes it road legal in the UK, and it carries a headlight and hazard lights. It must be registered with the DVLA before road use, which is free. Note that it has no indicators or mirrors as standard, so check what your intended riding requires before you buy.",{"@type":822,"name":782,"acceptedAnswer":842},{"@type":824,"text":843},"The Explorer, at 14 miles. The Compass and the Lite both manage 10 miles. None of these is a long-range scooter — they are built to be carried, not to cover distance, and most scooters at this price offer two to four times the range.","FAQPage","/images/scooters/efoldi/lite.jpg",{"author":847},"Alistair Finch",null,"/mobility-scooters/efoldi-mobility-scooters-guide",[851,852,853],"efoldi-compass","efoldi-lite","efoldi-explorer",[855],{"mainEntity":856,"@type":844},[857,859,861,863,865,867],{"@type":822,"name":752,"acceptedAnswer":858},{"@type":824,"text":825},{"@type":822,"name":827,"acceptedAnswer":860},{"@type":824,"text":829},{"@type":822,"name":831,"acceptedAnswer":862},{"@type":824,"text":833},{"@type":822,"name":835,"acceptedAnswer":864},{"@type":824,"text":837},{"@type":822,"name":776,"acceptedAnswer":866},{"@type":824,"text":840},{"@type":822,"name":782,"acceptedAnswer":868},{"@type":824,"text":843},{"title":5,"description":810},"mobility-scooters/efoldi-mobility-scooters-guide",[872,873,874],"guide","mobility-scooter","featured","qqlWV5owQ3zY3kOSg0ECypLfSgOCATAgye1Z_4MeaqE",[877],{"title":878,"path":879,"stem":880,"children":881,"page":-1},"Mobility Scooters","/mobility-scooters","mobility-scooters",[882,885,886,893,900,906,912,918,924,931,938,945,951,958,964,970,977,983,989,995,1001,1008,1015,1021,1028,1033,1039,1045,1052,1059,1065,1072,1078,1084,1090,1095,1100],{"title":878,"path":879,"stem":883,"description":884,"hero":848,"date":848},"mobility-scooters/index","Explore our complete library of articles covering every type of mobility scooter, from travel models to road-legal Class 3 vehicles.",{"title":5,"path":849,"stem":870,"description":810,"hero":845,"date":809},{"title":887,"path":888,"stem":889,"description":890,"hero":891,"date":892},"Best Class 2 (Pavement) Mobility Scooters UK 2026","/mobility-scooters/best-class-2-mobility-scooter","mobility-scooters/best-class-2-mobility-scooter","We compare the best Class 2 mobility scooters in the UK for 2026.
