Two small but mighty vehicles

This is Lynn Ellen's travelScoot parked by her VW.

It's hard to believe that scoot fits in what looks like a tiny trunk, but it does!

Open Bug, Insert Scoot

From Lynn Ellen:

I put the scoot in the back of the VW Bug and it fits just fine, front tire and all. I didn't put the seat in yet, but there's room, as well as the battery. I am thrilled!!! This means I don't have to sacrifice the back seat (where I keep the collapsable nylon dog crate, for the dog to ride back there). And as far as I am concerned, the Scoot will live back there to be available whenever I need it.

I am finding that the scoot, folded and seatless and battery-less is heavy, but not at all too heavy to carry and lift into the car. Now my next task is to find a tote bag that will comfortably carry the battery and seat, as well as the charger, in case I go somewhere where I want to recharge. woo hoo!

Take me riding in your car .. car.. take me riding in your car...

Lynn Ellen has a VW New Beetle and this weekend she is going to play with different configurations of loading it into the back. I'm sure she'll share the results with us, so look for them here next week.

I have a Toyota Camry and could put two TravelScoots in my trunk. I just remove the seat and u-bar, seat back and battery, and collapse the scoot. Instead of a second scoot I'm going to put a stool in there so I can sit if I need to to assemble and disassemble my scoot.

Cynth had this to add...

I just folded it up and put it in the trunk for the first time.

Every thing went fine and it wasn't that bad to lift into the trunk. I did not break down the basket.

It will take some practice to get the thing folded until both hinges "snap" into place quickly.

I did not need to use a stool to sit on while breaking it down, but I know if I am tired or its toward afternoon I would need one because I tend to stiffen up after noon.

I have an 04 Buick LeSabre and there is lots of extra room in the trunk.
