280 Lb Capacity in a Portable Scooter
The EV Rider MiniRider Lite is a portable mobility scooter built for active seniors who want mobility independence and carry more than 250 lbs. Most portable scooters stop at 250 lbs. This one carries 280 lbs — with four-wheel stability and the tight turning radius of a three-wheeler, so it navigates grocery aisles, hallways, and crowded spaces without getting stuck.
The seat armrests flip up for easy transfers, and the deep cushions handle longer rides comfortably. Solid PU tires on all four wheels mean no flats, ever. The optional 18Ah battery upgrade nearly doubles the range to 18 miles for full-day outings.

Who This Is For
The MiniRider Lite is for people who need higher weight capacity than most portables offer, or who want four-wheel stability with a scooter that still breaks apart for the car. Note: the SLA battery is not airline approved — if you need to fly with your scooter, see the Nomad, Transport 4M, Transport 4AF, or Gypsy Q2 instead.
