Folding Mobility scooters have long been a game-changer for those who want the independence to travel, but the Luggie has always set itself apart by making scooters that are the most portable, lightweight, and easy to fold. For years, the hallmark of the Luggie brand has been its innovative folding design, making it the easiest scooter to get in and out of your car and the safest for air travel, one that makes it possible to take your scooter almost anywhere, from running errands to hopping on a plane.

Now, Luggie has introduced an exciting new feature available on all models except the Standard: an optional removable seat. This feature makes your scooter even more versatile and convenient while keeping the same reliable folding system Luggie owners know and love.

In this article, we’ll break down everything you need to know about the removable seat option, why it matters, and how it can make your travel experience smoother than ever.

What Is the New Removable Seat Option?

The removable seat is a simple but powerful upgrade designed to make your Luggie scooter even lighter and easier to transport.

Here’s what makes it special:

• Completely optional: You don’t have to remove the seat. If you prefer using your scooter as-is, you can keep it in place and fold your scooter the same way you always have, and it is still the easiest scooter to get in and out of your car and safest to travel with.
  
  
• Makes the scooter lighter: By removing the seat, you cut down on the scooter’s overall weight. This is especially helpful when you slide your Luggie in and out of a car without lifting up the full weight of it.

• Still folds the same way: The revolutionary Luggie folding design has not changed. Whether the seat is on or off, your scooter folds and unfolds exactly as before.
  
  

• Air travel–friendly: With the seat removed, many Luggie models can now fit into an overhead bin on an airplane. This makes flying with your scooter more convenient than ever.
  
  

This feature is all about choice and flexibility. You can use your Luggie exactly how you like it—seat attached for speedy travel anywhere, or seat removed for maximum portability.

Why Portability Matters More Than Ever

One of the biggest reasons people choose a Luggie scooter is its portability. Traditional mobility scooters can be bulky and heavy, making them difficult to transport without ramps, lifts, or disassembly. Luggie changed that by introducing the world’s first folding mobility scooter.

Now, with the removable seat option, portability is taken a step further. Here’s why that matters:

1. Easier for Car Travel

For many scooter owners, lifting the scooter into a vehicle is a daily task. Even with Luggie’s lightweight design, every pound counts, especially if you have to do it frequently. By removing the seat, you reduce the overall weight and make lifting the scooter even lighter.

2. Airplane Travel Made Simple

Flying with a scooter has always been a concern for travelers. Checked scooters may risk damage, and not all models are designed to fit in overhead compartments. With the seat removed, your Luggie becomes compact enough for many airline overhead bins. This means you can keep your scooter with you throughout your journey, giving you peace of mind and saving time.

3. Greater Independence

For users who prefer handling their scooter without assistance, reducing the weight is empowering. The removable seat makes it possible for more people to manage their scooter independently without needing help from others.

Compatibility: Which Luggie Models Include This Feature?

The new removable seat option is available on all Luggie models except the Standard. That means if you own or are considering one of the following models, you can take advantage of this upgrade:

Does Removing the Seat Affect Folding?

This is one of the most common questions customers ask—and the answer is no.

The Luggie’s folding system remains exactly the same. Whether the seat is attached or removed, your scooter folds and unfolds with the same simplicity and reliability.

Think of the removable seat as an added benefit, not a replacement or change. You still get the same trusted folding scooter that Luggie has been perfecting for years.

Key Benefits of the Removable Seat

To summarize, here are the main benefits you’ll enjoy with this new feature:

• Lighter Weight for Sliding Your Liggie In and Out of the Car Without Lifting the Full Weight: Easier to handle when placing in a car trunk or overhead compartment.
  
  
• Flexible travel options: Fly with peace of mind knowing you can store your scooter more easily.
  
  
  
• No compromise on folding: The scooter folds the same way, regardless of whether the seat is attached.
  
  
• Increased independence: Make your Luggie scooter even lighter without assistance.
  
  

How It Works: Removing and Attaching the Seat

The design is user-friendly, making it simple to take the seat on or off depending on your needs.

• To remove: Just unlock the seat mechanism and lift it off.
  
  
• To reattach: Slide the seat back into position and lock it securely.
  
  

No tools, no complicated steps—just an easy option to make your Luggie lighter when you want it to be.

Who Will Benefit Most from the Removable Seat?

While every Luggie user can appreciate this new feature, certain groups may find it especially useful:

• Frequent travelers: If you fly often, being able to stow your scooter in an overhead bin is a major convenience.
  
  
• Independent users: Those who prefer not to rely on others for lifting will appreciate the reduced weight.
  
  
• Caregivers and family members: A lighter scooter means making it even easier when helping a loved one.
  
  
• Active users: If you’re frequently on the go—running errands, visiting friends, or exploring—you’ll love the added flexibility.
