Top tips for disassembling the Connect mobility scooter 

Sure, there are two pieces to disconnect. But here are a few more tips to make the process a 8piece of cake. 

Keep things light 

Don’t make it heavier than it needs to be. Remove the scooter’s front basket, the padded seat, and anything else you’ve added onto the scooter. 

Make it compact 

Release the armrest locking screws, and push the armrests and then the seat down. Do the same for the tiller, so the scooter is completely flat before disconnecting. 

How to lift it

Take your time 

Nervous about bending down? Don’t rush the process. Avoid injury by always bending at your hips and knees instead of rounding your lower back.

FAQs about the Connect Mobility scooter

Let’s address some of the most common questions.

Is it expensive?

Prices vary widely. There are travel scooters at more accessible price points. There are larger road scooters that cost more due to battery size and build.  Some suppliers offer payment plans (we do). Some people qualify for grants depending on circumstances. The better question is often about value rather than price – if a scooter allows you to maintain social connections and avoid cancelling plans, its value goes beyond the number on the invoice.

Do I need a boot hoist to lift my scooter?

Most people don’t. Because the pieces are so light, they’re easy to manage without extra equipment, or even a helping pair of hands. 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.

How heavy is the heaviest piece?

It varies by model, but scooters like the Carbon, Lite and Connect were built with portability in mind. The Connect offers the lightest lift, with the heaviest part weighing just 11.2kg.

What is the heaviest part to lift?

Depends on the model, but the Humfree Connect takes the crown. The heaviest part is just 11.2kg, making it one of the easiest scooters in the UK to lift into the boot.
