A Foldable Frame With Pneumatic Tires and a 28 Inch Turning CircleFour Wheels That Hold a Steady Line

The HKM-2513747 is a four wheel folding mobility scooter that weighs 42 lb with its 24V 12Ah pack in, folds to a package that stands on its own, and turns in 28 in. 3.7 mph, 12 miles of range, 309 lb of carry, and 8 in pneumatic tires on all four corners with suspension at both ends. The 42 lb is what makes the shape work: it is light enough that the fold is worth having, and the frame stands on its own once the tiller is down and the seat has dropped forward.

Four wheels rather than two and a rear pair of casters: front casters that steer, twin rear drive that pulls, and springs front and rear to take the edge off paving and drain covers. The seat is a padded bench with a backrest, and the tiller drops for the fold. A pneumatic tire on all four corners is the other half of that: softer than a solid wheel over paving, and the reason a pressure check belongs in the routine rather than a surprise in the spring.

It is bought by riders who want to sit upright with their feet on a deck rather than steer with a joystick at armrest height, and who still want the whole thing in a boot without help. The shape is the argument: sitting upright with the feet forward is easier on the back over a long pavement than a joystick at armrest height, and the tiller gives the hands something to hold.

Frame, Wheels and Stability

The frame is a foldable aluminum chassis with a tiller that drops and a seat that folds forward onto the deck. Folded, it stands unsupported, which matters in a hallway where there is nothing to lean it against, and it takes up the floor space of a suitcase.

Twin rear hub drive puts the pull behind the rider and the two front casters steer, which is what gives four wheels a 28 in circle. Front and rear suspension means a drain cover is absorbed rather than transmitted up the tiller.

The seat is a padded bench with a backrest, the tiller adjusts for height, and the deck takes a rider's feet flat rather than on a footplate. An LED headlight is fitted for evening trips, and the brake sets itself as the throttle is released.

• Frame: folding aluminum, stands unsupported
• Drive: twin rear hub motors, front casters steer
• Battery: 24V 12Ah, 288Wh, key locked and out
• Tires: 8 in pneumatic, all four corners of the frame
• Suspension: front and rear, over paving joints
• Load: 309 lb, or 140 kg, rated continuous duty

The pack is key locked and lifts out for indoor charging, so the scooter can stay folded in a car while the battery fills on a wall socket. Everything else is standard: 8 in pneumatic tires, a folding tiller and a seat that drops forward.

Battery, Range and Charging

One 24V 12Ah pack, 288Wh, key locked and removable. Range is quoted at 12 miles, about 19 km, on level ground at moderate temperatures, and a full charge takes 6 to 8 hours on the 100 to 240V smart charger. The key is what keeps the pack in its bay while the scooter is folded in a car. A key also stops the pack walking off with the scooter parked outside a shop.

The pack is rated for around 800 cycles to 80 percent capacity, so a nightly charge is a matter of years rather than months. Cold mornings and rough ground take the range down before anything else does, so plan a first long trip that turns back at the halfway mark. A pneumatic tire also loses pressure slowly over a month, so the check is worth doing before a long trip rather than after one.

A pneumatic tire is the reason the ride is softer than a solid-wheel chair, and the reason a pressure check belongs in the routine. Keep them at the pressure on the sidewall and the suspension has less work to do. Inflate to the pressure on the sidewall, not to what feels firm, and the suspension and the range both benefit.

Who It Fits and How It Folds

The load rating is 309 lb, or 140 kg, which covers a rider and a bag on the deck or in a basket. At 3.7 mph it moves at walking pace, which is what a pavement scooter is for: it keeps company with someone on foot rather than overtaking them.

It is a scooter for a pavement, a shop and a seafront path, where sitting upright with the feet forward is the point of the shape rather than a compromise in it. The tiller is what the hands hold, and it drops for the fold.

• Pavements, seafront paths and the shop floor inside
• Riders who prefer a tiller to a joystick at the arm
• A boot, a hallway and a fold that stands on its own
• Not for grass, sand, steep slopes or a loose kerb

What's in the Box

The scooter arrives folded in one carton with the pack key locked in its bay. Charge it to full before the first trip, check both tire pressures, and test the brake on a slope with the seat loaded. Keep the carton for the first month in case a part arrives damaged.

Color and Finish

The frame is a warm orange over black trim, with a black deck mat and black wheel hubs. Orange is not decorative on a scooter this low: it reads earlier than grey to a driver, which is the whole reason for it. The deck mat is black because that is where a foot lands.

The tiller grips and the seat piping are black, and the casters are black against the orange of the chassis, so the colour sits on the parts that are seen from a car.

Battery Care and Maintenance

Charge the pack indoors at room temperature and unplug it when the charger shows full. The pack is rated for around 800 cycles to 80 percent capacity, which is a nightly charge for years rather than months if it is not left flat. A pack that lives indoors and comes out for a trip lasts longer than one kept in a cold garage.

Check the tire pressures every week or two, because a pneumatic tire that goes soft takes the range with it and puts the suspension under more work. Wipe the frame and the deck mat with mild soap, dry the tiller grips, and keep the charger out of a damp shed over winter. Check the tire pressures every week or two, because a pneumatic that goes soft takes the range with it and puts the suspension under more work than it was set for.

The HKM-2513747 is a four wheel folding scooter rather than a chair: 42 lb with its 24V 12Ah pack in, a tiller that drops and a seat that folds forward, and a frame that stands on its own once closed. Twin rear hub drive and two front casters turn it in 28 in, 8 in pneumatic tires and suspension at both ends take the edge off paving, and the pack is rated 288Wh for 12 miles at 3.7 mph. The seat is a padded bench with a backrest, the deck takes the feet flat, and an LED headlight is fitted for the evening. It carries 309 lb and it is meant to be sat on rather than steered with a joystick at armrest height. What it will not do is leave the pavement: grass, sand and a full-height kerb are outside what the casters and the rating will take. Check the pressures, charge the pack indoors, and it folds into a boot on its own.
