If you're struggling with mobility, a mobility scooter allows you to move around easily and free of pain. Pride mobility scooters are known for their reliability, durability, and variety of models. There's a Pride mobility scooter to fit anyone's needs and lifestyle. In this blog post, we're going to take a look at the Pride Go Go scooter series to learn about its benefits and how to go about finding and purchasing the right Go Go scooter for you.
Pride GoGo Scooters
The Pride GoGo Scooters are compact and portable. Most of the Pride GoGo Scooters are foldable (others disassemble), lightweight scooters, so there's no need for a scooter lift. The Pride GoGo Scooter is great to take on a cruise, plane, bus, trunk of the car, or even store under the bed. If you're a person who is always on the go, the Pride GoGo Scooter might just be the mobility scooter you've been looking for.
Benefits
The Pride GoGo Scooters have great benefits that really make this mobility scooter stand out from some of the others. The Go Go Scooters are meant for easy use and are easy to take around. Here are all the benefits of the Pride GoGo Scooters:
Portability & Travel-Friendly:
What really makes the Pride GoGo Scooter stand out is how portable it is. Some of the models fold, others disassemble into smaller, lighter pieces. This makes the Pride GoGo Scooter easy to pack in your car. When it comes to traveling, the Pride GoGo Scooter is an excellent choice as it's easy to take on public transportation, cruise ships, and most models are even airline approved (check with the airline to confirm your mobility scooter is approved). The Pride GoGo Scooter is the perfect travel companion.
Lightweight Design
You can't have portability without being lightweight! Most of the Go Go Scooters total weight is less than 100lbs. That means if it's folded, it's still easy to roll and transport. If it's disassembled, the heaviest part weighs (depending on the model) about 35lbs. This makes it easier to lift and place the pieces where they need to go.
Indoor & Outdoor Use
Go Go Mobility Scooters work well for both indoor and outdoor use. Now, though the Go Go Scooter can be used outside, it does have its limitations. It's recommended to use the Go Go Scooter on paved paths. These mobility scooters lack the suspension, ground clearance, and tires to drive on gravel and uneven terrain. The turning radius of the Go Go Scooters are great indoors and are great at navigating tight corners.
Easy to Operate
The Go Go Scooters are easy to use. The throttle and controller are user-friendly. The swivel seat makes it easy to get in and out of the mobility scooter. The Go Go Scooter is easy to fold and disassemble/assemble.
Customizable Options
The Go Go Scooter series is customizable to fit your needs. Between color choices, 3 or 4 wheel scooters, your scooter can be meant just for you. Accessories such as the front basket, cup holders, cane holders, and more are available as well.
Range of Models for Different Needs
The Pride Go Go Scooter series has several models for different needs. The models vary by driving range, turning radius, speed, weight, folding versus disassembling, and weight capacity.
Affordable
Go-Go scooters are competitively priced in the market and built by Pride Mobility. These scooters are reliable and durable and if well maintained and treated well, your mobility scooter should last for years to come.
Finding The Right Go Go Scooter For You
Now, let's take a look at how to find the right Go Go Scooter for you. We'll look into your lifestyle and what will fit your needs best. When it comes to mobility scooters, there generally isn't a one-size-fits-all since there are so many different models available.
Weight Capacity
First thing to consider is the weight capacity of the mobility scooter. The weight capacity includes the user and the items you may be carrying. Some Go Go Scooters have a weight capacity of 300lbs, others have a weight capacity of 325 lbs. If you are a user who needs more than 325 lb weight capacity, you'll need to look for a midsize or heavy-duty mobility scooter.
3 Wheel Vs 4 Wheel
Think about whether you want a 3 wheel scooter or a 4 wheel scooter. Most of the Go Go Scooters offer the same models offered for both 3 wheel and 4 wheel.
3 Wheel Scooter: The 3 wheel scooter has a tighter turning radius, so most people who mainly use their mobility scooter indoors will opt for a 3 wheel scooter. A 3 wheel scooter is perfect for apartment use or grocery stores. The 3 wheel scooter is generally cheaper as well, since it contains less parts. The 3 wheel scooter isn't as stable though, so you would just need to make sure you are careful with the weight distribution and taking those sharp turns.
4 Wheel Scooter: Generally, the 4 wheel scooter turns a little wider, though certain models like the Pride Go Go Elite Traveller 2 4-wheel with Zero Turn have the turning radius of a 3 wheel scooter. The 4 wheel scooter is more stable and balanced, but can cost a little bit more. Many people who use their scooter both indoors and outdoors like to get the 4 wheel scooter. For better turning radius, some of Pride's 4 wheel models have ZeroTurn which allows the front wheels to turn 90 degrees in either direction.
Consider Range & Speed
Range: Some people only need their mobility scooter for smaller, quicker trips. For quicker trips, Go Go Scooters with a range between 6-10 miles would work just fine. If you plan on using your scooter throughout the day, you'll want the Go Go Scooter which can go further. You might notice that some Go Go Scooters are marked with two different ranges. This means this model of Go Go Scooter has the option to purchase a battery with higher AH (ampere-hour). These optional batteries give you more time and a further driving distance.
Speed: Also consider the top speed of the Go Go Scooter. They range near 4 mph, some are a little under, and some are a little faster. If you're a person who likes to go a little slower, you'll want the Go Go Scooter that has a top speed of 3.7mph (Pride Go Go Carbon)
If you're looking for the fast Pride Go-Go scooter, look no further than the Go Go Sport. The Go Go Sport has a top speed of 4.7 mph, which is about the pace of a brisk walk or light power walk. So at 4.7 mph, a Go-Go Sport scooter will keep pace with someone walking quickly, like if you're late for an appointment, but it's not fast enough to outrun a jogger, depending on the jogger. This fast Pride Go-Go Scooter is available for both the 3-wheel and 4-wheel models, both having a top speed of 4.7mph.
Foldability Versus Disassembly
Determine if you would rather fold your mobility scooter or if you prefer to disassemble the scooter into smaller pieces.
Folding Scooter: The folding scooter is very convenient and easy to use. The folding scooter folds by either a latch or a handle. Some of the folding scooters fold in a way where you can still wheel it around. This folding scooter is perfect for taking around the airport or wheeling to the car. The folding scooter is still lightweight, but it does take more power to lift it, since it's still one unit. If you are weaker, you might want to opt for the disassembled scooter.
Disassembled/Assembled Scooter: These Go Go Scooters are still meant to be easy to use and portable. Many of these scooters disassemble into about 5 pieces, making them very lightweight and easier to lift into place. If you are weaker, lifting 5 lightweight pieces may be better.
| Model Type | Closure Type | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Folding Scooter, Carbon, Super Portable | Folds completely | Quick compact storage |
| Elite Traveller, Sport, Ultra X | Disassembles into pieces | Lightweight transport |
Portability
The Go Go Scooters are known for their portability, but some are better for the trunk, some are better for lighter travel, some models are best for the airport. Think about the activities you are doing the most and how you'll need to transport your mobility scooter the most.
| Type of Travel | Recommended Model |
|---|---|
| Fits in Vehicle Trunk | All |
| Occasional Travel | Elite Traveller or Ultra X |
| Frequent travel (airplane/cruise) | Go-Go Carbon, Go-Go Endurance Li, Go-Go Super Portable, Go-Go Elite Traveller |
Top Recommended Go Go Scooter:
If you're still feeling a little overwhelmed between the Go Go models, the top recommended Go Go Scooter is the GoGo Elite Traveller. The Go-Go Elite Traveller is often considered the flagship model of the Go-Go line—and while all Go-Go scooters are built for portability, the Elite Traveller hits a unique sweet spot in terms of balance, simplicity, and versatility.
The Go-Go Elite Traveller stands out because it:
- Combines lightweight design with real-world performance
- Is easy to transport and handle, especially for older adults or caregivers
- Works well both indoors and out without being too big or too slow
- Offers a great value price point in the Go-Go lineup
It's the one people often recommend when they say, "I just need something reliable, easy to manage, and versatile for everyday use."
