Staying mobile and independent is necessary for enjoying everyday life, so we are excited to offer the best innovation in folding mobility scooters. As an established Drive Devilbiss UK mobility shop and stockist of the Drive Autofold Elite scooter, we have had the opportunity to thoroughly test this remarkable upgrade to the best-selling original Auto Fold.
This enhanced model offers better improvements while maintaining the revolutionary automatic folding technology that made its predecessor popular among pavement scooters.
Building on the success of the original, this new version addresses honest user feedback by adding key features like comprehensive suspension, improved lighting, and modern conveniences.
The Evolution of the Autofold Elite
The original Auto Fold was groundbreaking when we first added it to our range of mobility products. It offered our customers true automatic folding capability at the touch of a button. At A6 Mobility, we have listened carefully to feedback from users who loved the convenience but wanted improvements in comfort and everyday usability.
The Autofold Elite perfectly represents those requested enhancements while maintaining the popular compact size and effortless folding action. This evolved model adds practical features that transform it from a specialised travel scooter into a versatile daily mobility solution.
Autofold Elite Scooter Highlights: Automatic Convenience Meets Enhanced Comfort
The Autofold Elite distinguishes itself through its automatic folding mechanism, improved ride quality, practical power options, and thoughtful additional features.
Expert Automatic Folding Design
The Autofold Elite retains the original model’s most celebrated feature – true one-touch automatic folding. Unlike some standard boot scooters that require manual handling, the Elite completes the entire folding process electronically at the press of a button, making it easy for users with limited strength or dexterity.
When folded, the scooter becomes compact at just 42.5cm in length, making it ideal for storage in small spaces or transportation in vehicle boots. Despite this compact folded size, the unfolded length of 98cm provides a comfortable riding position with proper support for the user’s weight capacity of 19.6 stone.
Better Improved Ride Quality
The Autofold Elite truly excels over its predecessor in ride comfort. While the original model performed well on smooth surfaces, it felt firm on uneven terrain, the Elite features comprehensive shock-absorbing front and rear suspension. This major upgrade transforms the riding experience, making it substantially more comfortable on typical pavement surfaces with irregularities.
The solid tyre design protects against punctures and maintains good surface traction. During our testing, we found that this improved suspension system makes the Elite suitable for a much wider range of everyday environments, expanding its practicality as a daily-use mobility solution rather than just a travel scooter.
Practical Battery Solution
The Autofold Elite is equipped with a 10AH airline-friendly lithium-ion battery, which provides approximately 10 miles of range on a full battery charge. This makes it suitable for typical daily outings, shopping trips, and tourist activities.
The airline-approved battery design is especially valuable for frequent travellers. It allows the scooter to be taken on flights without concerns about battery restrictions that affect many larger mobility scooters.
Enhanced Safety and Convenience Features
The Elite version introduces several meaningful upgrades that improve safety and user experience. A bright LED headlight significantly enhances visibility in low-light conditions, making evening journeys safer and more secure.
Adding a USB charging port addresses modern needs, allowing users to keep mobile phones and other devices charged while on the go.
Who We Think the Autofold Elite Is For
Based on our experience helping customers choose the best mobility products, the Drive Autofold Elite is especially well-suited for people who:
- Value true push-button convenience for folding and unfolding
- Need a compact boot scooter that stores easily in limited spaces
- Encounter various pavement surfaces in their daily activities
- Appreciate modern features like USB charging
- Want a balance between portability and comfort
Thanks to its improved suspension system and thoughtful feature upgrades, the Autofold Elite performs exceptionally well as a travel companion and an everyday pavement scooter.
