Before you buy · Folding scooters
Will it fit in my car?
Folded size is only half the answer. The other half is who lifts it, how high, and how often. Measure once, then check which of our folding scooters fit.
Eclipse Nova Fly
Heartway Transit 4
Heartway S11 Zen+The short answer
Measure the trunk opening, not just the floor, and compare it with the scooter's folded size. Then check the heaviest piece you'll lift and who will lift it. A scooter that fits but is too heavy to lift ends up staying in the garage.
- Lightest lifts The Heartway S11 Zen+ comes apart, and its heaviest piece is listed at 38 lb (17 kg).
- Folds itself The Heartway Transit 4 and S26 fold electrically, with a remote or a button.
- Folds by hand, battery comes out The Eclipse EV Nova Fly folds to 99 × 59 × 51 cm and weighs 25 kg (55 lb).
Measure your trunk in two minutes
Open the trunk or hatch and take five measurements with a tape measure. Keep this page open on your phone and use the checker below.
The opening is often smaller than the floor inside, especially on sedans, so measure both. If you'll fold the rear seats down, measure again with them folded.
- Opening width at the narrowest point, often near the top.
- Opening height from the lip to the top of the opening.
- Lip height from the ground. This is how high you lift.
- Floor depth from the back of the rear seat to the lip.
- Between the wheel arches, usually the narrowest part of the floor.
Check which ones fit
Enter your measurements. We compare them with each scooter's folded size from our product pages and try every way it could lie in the trunk.

A rough check using listed folded sizes. Real trunks have curves, lips and wheel arches, so if it's close, bring your numbers to a showroom or call us.
What you'd actually lift
Total weight isn't always what you lift. Take-apart scooters split into pieces, so the heaviest piece is the number that matters. For scale, the dashed line is 23 kg (50 lb), a common airline limit for one checked suitcase.
Weights as listed on each product page. Lifting from the ground over a trunk lip is harder than lifting a suitcase, so try a similar weight first.
Takes apart, folds by hand, or folds itself
Takes apart
Splits into pieces by hand, so each lift is lighter. You'll handle several pieces each trip and put them back together at the other end.
S11 Zen+: heaviest piece listed at 38 lb. Brome: comes apart into five pieces.
Folds by hand
Fold it and lift it in one piece. Quick, with nothing to reassemble, but you lift the whole scooter at once.
Nova Fly: 25 kg (55 lb), with a removable lithium battery and a carrying bag included.
Folds itself
Folds and unfolds with a remote or a button, so there's less bending. You still lift it into the trunk unless you have a hoist.
Transit 4: 40 lb, rolls like a suitcase when folded. S26: 73 lb with battery.
Before you buy: the lift check
- Measure A to E Including with the rear seats folded, if you'll do that.
- Check the heaviest lift Not the total weight: the heaviest single piece.
- Know who lifts it You, your parent, or both? Every trip, at both ends.
- Try the weight Lift a bag of a similar weight from the ground over the trunk lip.
- Think two years ahead Will the person lifting it still be comfortable doing it then?
- Consider a vehicle hoist If lifting is the only problem, a hoist fitted to the car may solve it.
