eFOLDi launches new lightweight four-wheel mobility scooter with enhanced turning stability
Portable mobility specialist eFOLDi has launched the Compass, its first ever four-wheel mobility scooter, which offers a breakthrough in lightweight, stable, and portable mobility design.
Designed for users who need added confidence and balance without compromising on portability, the Compass combines the convenience of eFOLDi’s folding technology with the reassurance of four-wheel support.
Weighing just 11kg without the battery, the Compass boasts an ultra-light magnesium alloy frame, combining high strength with portability.
Intuitive controls, ergonomic comfort, and cutting-edge Secure-Turn technology offer enhanced safety for the user whilst moving.
Sumi Wang, Founder of UK-based eFOLDi, comments: “This is an evolution for eFOLDi. The Compass marks our entry into the four-wheel scooter category.
“We’ve designed it specifically for users who want more stability, but still need something easy to lift, transport and use every day. It’s our most intuitive and confidence-boosting scooter to date.”
eFOLDi’s inbuilt gyroscope detects changes in orientation to enhance turning stability, reduce tipping risk, and improve rider confidence.
Its bi-fold design features a simple, two step colour-coded folding mechanism, making it ideal for users with limited dexterity.
The quiet, low-vibration motor has also been engineered for smoother rides to reduce fatigue. Offering on- or off-board charging the Compass offers a rapid charge time and a range of up to 10 miles.
Maintenance-free, puncture-proof tyres and electro-magnetic braking slows upon throttle release, making it ideal for users with slower reaction times.
Created for those with minor mobility issues or health conditions such as arthritis, COPD, or MS, the Compass offers memory foam seating, an adjustable handlebar, a spacious footplate, and optional flip-up armrests making it practical for daily life and days out. It is backed by a seven-year battery warranty and two-year scooter warranty.
The Compass is launching with a full trade support package including point-of-sale marketing material, literature, image library, and consumer-facing video content.
Earlier this year, eFOLDi also announced the launch of the Navigator, its lightest and most advanced folding powered wheelchair to date.
