Absolutely not. Our folding scooters are among the lightest in the UK, with models like the Lite and Carbon keeping things incredibly breezy. But if you did want an even lighter lift, the Humfree Five breaks apart into (you guessed it) five extra-easy-to-lift parts.

The Connect™ splits into two, with the heaviest part weighing just 11.2kg – while the Carbon is just 13kg all in. But if you’d prefer a hoist, we can point you in the right direction.

Yes – most Humfree scooters are perfect travel companions. Many of our models are equipped with airline-friendly lithium batteries and a compact folding frame, making them ideal for both flights and cruise ship cabins.

Yes – Class 3 scooters drop to 4mph for pavement use.

Easily. Our travel scooters are compact enough for standard bus spaces and slim enough to navigate train aisles. Fold or dismantle as needed, hop on and enjoy the view.

It depends on the model and how you use it, but most Humfree scooters cover between 9 and 22 miles on a full charge. Hills, weight and temperature can all affect range, but we’ll help you choose something that comfortably suits your routine.

It depends on the model, but generally, they are limited to 4mph or 8mph. Most Humfree scooters are Class 2 models, which have a top speed of 4mph for safe use on pavements. If you opt for a Class 3 model, these can reach 8mph and are legal for road use, provided they are fitted with the necessary lights and indicators.

Most batteries take around 4-6 hours to fully charge from empty. You can top up whenever you like, and it’s perfectly fine to charge overnight.

Very. Depending on the model, you’ll have either two-step manual folding or models that you take apart. Dismantling versions break into light, manageable pieces designed for stress-free travel.

Very. Our folding models collapse in two simple motions (three if you include taking out the battery for easy carrying). No wrestling or yoga-level flexibility required.

When you’re done scooting, just fold it and forget it. The only time you’ll ever need to remove the battery is if you want a lighter lift, or you’re hopping on a plane in line with the airline’s rules on lithium batteries (but don’t worry – it’s lightweight, easy to remove, and compliant with most carriers).

No – you don’t need a licence. Most Humfree scooters are Class 2 (pavement) models, which you can use freely on footpaths, pedestrianised areas and in shopping centres.

Only Class 3 powerchairs require road registration. Good news: Glide is a Class 2 model, so you’re free to use it on pavements, shops and other indoor spaces.

A road-legal Class 3 scooter must have a maximum speed of 8mph, plus lights, indicators, a horn, mirrors and a clear display. It must also be able to switch down to 4mph on pavements. The Urban has all of the above.
