What our customers think of the Minimo
“I have undergone several back operations hence without a mobility scooter, walking any large distance would be impossible. This had led to my wife having to push me in a wheelchair. My Minimo has changed all that, especially when we went on our dream holiday recently.
We flew with Virgin airlines who were excellent in terms of their support – they allowed me to use my Minimo right up until boarding the plane at Heathrow. Within seconds it was folded down and then placed in the luggage hold.
Throughout our amazing trip down the Mississippi river, Sheila and I received so many comments about my Minimo. Lots of Americans had never seen a folding scooter before – they all wanted one, ‘Gee that’s really neat’ was a common reaction. Throughout our trip my Minimo and I were able to go exactly where we wanted as we hopped on and off the paddle steamer – brilliant!

Air travel and CAA lithium-ion battery legislation

Recent changes in Civil Aviation Authority, CAA, legislation mean there are now limits on the size of a Lithium-ion battery that can be taken on a plane.
To enable customers to transport their Minimo by air, the Minimo now comes with 2 battery options.
To help you choose, these are the options you might want to consider:
- Option 1
Choose a 11.5ah battery – CAA compliant and can be taken on a plane. - Option 2
Choose a 14.5ah battery – This provides a longer range but is not CAA compliant and cannot be taken on a plane. - Option 3
Choose to order one of each. - Option 4
TGA Battery Hire Service. If you want a 14.5ah battery but you wish to travel by air, take advantage of our Battery Hire Service and hire out a 11.5ah battery.
When you are ready to order, please tell us which of these options you are considering and our team will be able to help.
