Many electric scooters can fit in a small car trunk when folded, as long as the scooter’s folded dimensions match your available trunk space. The easiest way to confirm is to compare the scooter’s folded length, width, and height to your trunk’s usable space, and also check the trunk opening since that can be tighter than the interior.

If you’re choosing between models, look at each scooter’s folded size in the specs and measure your trunk before the purchase.

Yes, the Segway electric scooters use sturdy folding hardware designed for regular commuting and storage.

Like any moving part, the folding joint will last best with simple routine care. We suggest keeping the hinge area clean and dry, checking that the latch fully closes before each ride, and periodically confirming that bolts and quick releases are snug (especially if you ride on rough roads).

Most mobility scooters are designed for a single rider, so carrying an adult passenger is generally not recommended. To ensure proper fit, balance, and handling, it’s best to check your model’s owner’s manual for the rated weight capacity and whether the seat and foot platform are intended for one rider only.

If you’re considering riding with a passenger, it’s also a good idea to review any local guidelines for mobility devices.
