400 lb Capacity, 8 mph, Suspension — The All-Terrain Scooter Built for Urban Life
The FR1 City bridges the gap between the compact Luggie folding line and the heavier FR Terrain models. At 138 lbs with a 400 lb capacity, suspension, and an 8 mph top speed, it handles city streets, suburban sidewalks, and light outdoor terrain without the bulk of the flagship models. The halo daytime running lights and full indicator system reflect a design built for real-world visibility in urban environments.
Solid flat-free tires mean zero maintenance and no risk of a flat on your daily commute. The FR1 City is one of the few FreeRider models under 150 lbs that still delivers suspension, 8 mph performance, and a 400 lb capacity — a combination that's hard to find at this price point.
