At A6 Mobility Shop, we’re all about making life easier and more enjoyable for those needing a little extra support getting around. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce the Monarch Genie folding mobility scooter: a true game-changer in the world of compact, travel-friendly mobility aids.
This review will explore the Genie’s features, discuss who it’s best suited for, and explain why it’s causing such a buzz in the mobility world.
Monarch Mobility: Masters of the Mobility Market
Monarch Mobility, the company behind the Genie, has long been a respected name in the UK mobility industry. Known for their commitment to quality and user-centric design, Monarch has consistently delivered products that improve the lives of those with mobility challenges.
With the new Genie mobility scooter, Monarch has once again demonstrated their dedication to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in mobility design. It’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into creating a product that combines portability with comfort and functionality.
Unfolding the Genie’s Standout Features
Here’s what sets the Genie apart from other folding mobility scooters:
Feather-Light Frame
First on our list is the Genie’s feather-light design. In fact, it takes the crown as the lightest suitcase-style 4-wheel folding mobility scooter on the market at time of writing. This is thanks to its streamlined design and magnesium alloy frame. Weighing a mere 16.85kg, this lightweight wonder is a breeze to lift and transport.
Folds in a Flash
The second factor contributing to the Genie’s ease of transport is its user-friendly folding mechanism. It can be folded or unfolded in just 5 seconds. The Genie’s easy folding and compact size make it incredibly convenient for travel or storage. When folded the Genie easily fits in almost all car boots and even in some footwells. Plus, it has a cruise ship and airline-safe lithium battery pack, ensuring you can take your mobility companion with you whether travelling by land, air, or sea.
No Compromise on Comfort
Despite its lightweight and compact design, the Genie doesn’t skimp on comfort. This sets it apart from many other folding scooters that compromise on comfort to reduce weight. The Genie features a fully padded seat with adjustable armrests, ensuring a comfortable ride even on longer trips.
The chunky rear suspension helps smooth out uneven surfaces, making your journey more enjoyable, whether navigating shopping centres or exploring outdoor paths. The Genie has better suspension than any other folding scooter we’ve seen to date.
Functional Design Features
Lightweight mobility scooters also tend to pair back their features to keep weight to a minimum. However, the Genie is packed with thoughtful design features that enhance its usability. The easy-to-use controls, combined with the wrap-around Delta handlebars, make it simple for anyone to operate.
The adjustable tiller allows users to customise the scooter to their preferred height for comfort and control. The dual user lifting handles make it easy to transport the scooter when needed, and the LED front lights enhance visibility, ensuring safety during evening rides.
Robust Build and Performance
Don’t let its compact size fool you. The Genie is made from super-strong magnesium alloy, ensuring durability without adding extra weight. The scooter can reach speeds of up to 4 mph and has a range of 9 miles on a single charge. The Genie also features honeycomb solid tyres, which provide good traction without the risk of punctures. With a maximum user weight of 120.6kg (19 stone), it can accommodate a wide range of users.
