The Pride Go-Go Elite Traveller costs £899, lifts apart into lighter sections (heaviest piece 13kg), and includes lights, a horn and a front basket. The CareCo Vive 4 costs £1,000 and trades those extras for a tighter 115cm turning circle, a swivel seat and a higher 52 to 56cm seat, but has no lights or basket and a very low 3cm ground clearance.",{"@type":882,"name":888,"acceptedAnswer":889},"How much do the Pride Go-Go Elite Traveller and CareCo Vive 4 cost in the UK?",{"@type":885,"text":890},"The Pride Go-Go Elite Traveller costs from £899 and the CareCo Vive 4 from £1,000 on the VAT-exempt price. Both sit in the budget end of the travel-scooter market, around £100 apart.",{"@type":882,"name":892,"acceptedAnswer":893},"Which is easier to lift into a car boot?",{"@type":885,"text":894},"The Pride Go-Go Elite Traveller is the easier lift. It dismantles into separate pieces with a heaviest single piece of about 13kg, and weighs 39kg with batteries fitted. The CareCo Vive 4 is heavier overall at 43.8kg with batteries, though it also pulls apart and folds down to just 33cm high for storage.",{"@type":882,"name":896,"acceptedAnswer":897},"Do the Pride Go-Go Elite Traveller or CareCo Vive 4 have suspension?",{"@type":885,"text":898},"No. Neither scooter has suspension, and both run solid puncture-proof tyres. They are designed for smooth pavements, shops and indoor use rather than rough or uneven ground. The Vive 4 in particular has a very low 3cm ground clearance, so it is happiest on flat surfaces.",{"@type":882,"name":900,"acceptedAnswer":901},"Which has the better seat, the Go-Go Elite or the Vive 4?",{"@type":885,"text":902},"The CareCo Vive 4 has the more flexible seat: it swivels for easier getting on and off, and adjusts higher, from 52 to 56cm. The Pride Go-Go Elite Traveller has a simpler standard seat at 42 to 47cm, which suits shorter users but does not rotate. Taller riders, or anyone who finds sideways transfers difficult, will likely prefer the Vive 4's swivel seat.",{"@type":882,"name":904,"acceptedAnswer":905},"Do you need a licence for the Pride Go-Go Elite Traveller or CareCo Vive 4?",{"@type":885,"text":906},"No. Both are Class 2 mobility scooters with a 4mph top speed for pavement use. Class 2 scooters do not need to be registered with the DVLA, there is no road tax, and you do not need a driving licence to use one.","FAQPage","/images/scooters/pride/go-go-elite-traveller.jpg",{"author":910},"Alistair Finch",null,"/mobility-scooters/pride-go-go-elite-vs-careco-vive-4",[914,915,916,917,918],"pride-go-go-elite-traveller","careco-vive-4","pride-go-go-ultra-x-4-wheel","pride-go-go-sport-4-wheel","kymco-k-lite-comfort",[920],{"mainEntity":921,"@type":907},[922,924,926,928,930,932],{"@type":882,"name":883,"acceptedAnswer":923},{"@type":885,"text":886},{"@type":882,"name":888,"acceptedAnswer":925},{"@type":885,"text":890},{"@type":882,"name":892,"acceptedAnswer":927},{"@type":885,"text":894},{"@type":882,"name":896,"acceptedAnswer":929},{"@type":885,"text":898},{"@type":882,"name":900,"acceptedAnswer":931},{"@type":885,"text":902},{"@type":882,"name":904,"acceptedAnswer":933},{"@type":885,"text":906},{"title":5,"description":870},"mobility-scooters/pride-go-go-elite-vs-careco-vive-4",[937,938,939],"comparison","mobility-scooter","featured","YWY1qMSIx5ICfdUDs6d09_oICes9CNUZ-NZb38WBWhM",[942],{"title":943,"path":944,"stem":945,"children":946,"page":-1},"Mobility Scooters","/mobility-scooters","mobility-scooters",[947,950,957,958,965,972,978,985,992,998,1004,1010,1017,1024,1031,1038,1044,1051,1058,1064,1071,1078,1085,1091,1097,1104,1111,1117,1123,1129,1135],{"title":943,"path":944,"stem":948,"description":949,"hero":911,"date":911},"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":951,"path":952,"stem":953,"description":954,"hero":955,"date":956},"Kymco K-Lite FE vs eFoldi Compass (2026): Auto-Fold or Ultralight?","/mobility-scooters/kymco-k-lite-fe-vs-efoldi-compass","mobility-scooters/kymco-k-lite-fe-vs-efoldi-compass","Kymco K-Lite FE (£3,059) vs eFoldi Compass (£2,499): powered auto-folding versus a 13kg ultralight bi-fold.
