ZooMe Auto-Flex Specifications

The ZooMe Auto-Flex has a 300 lb weight capacity, a 4 mph (6.4 km/h) top speed and a 47.2-inch turning radius. These are Drive Medical’s published numbers for model FLEX-AUTO.

Range depends on rider weight, hills and temperature. The 21 km figure is the maximum on flat ground in mild weather.

How Does the ZooMe Auto-Flex Fold?

The ZooMe Auto-Flex folds by itself. Press the key fob and the travel scooter collapses into one compact piece in about 15 seconds, with no bending, pulling levers or lifting parts apart.

Press the fob again and the ZooMe Auto-Flex unfolds and stands ready to ride. Two ignition keys and one key fob come in the box, and manual release levers let you fold it by hand if the fob battery runs out.

This automatic fold is the main reason people choose this folding scooter over a manual folding mobility scooter. It suits riders with arthritis, weak hands, back pain or limited balance who struggle with latches.

Who Is the ZooMe Auto-Flex For?

The ZooMe Auto-Flex suits adults up to 300 lbs who ride mostly on sidewalks, malls, airports and cruise ships. It is a good fit if you:

• Have trouble bending, gripping or pulling a folding lever
• Travel by car, plane or cruise and want a travel scooter that folds on command
• Need more weight capacity than most lightweight folding scooters and travel scooters offer
• Prefer the stability of four wheels over a 3-wheel scooter

The ZooMe Auto-Flex is not built for gravel, grass, snow or steep ramps. Its 1.6-inch ground clearance and 6-degree climbing angle make it a pavement scooter, so choose a full-size scooter if you ride rough ground every day.

How Much Does the ZooMe Auto-Flex Cost in Canada?

The ZooMe Auto-Flex is listed in Canada for about $4,700 to $5,600, depending on the retailer and any sale. That puts it at the top of the folding scooter market, because automatic folding costs more than a manual folding scooter.

Motion Care Mobility price matches any retailer in Canada on the ZooMe Auto-Flex, offers financing, and provides a detailed invoice for insurance claims. Call (647) 765-0035 for today’s price.

5 Checks Before You Buy a Folding Travel Scooter

Run through these five checks before you buy any folding travel scooter, including the ZooMe Auto-Flex.

1. Weight capacity: pick a travel scooter rated at least 30 to 50 lbs above the rider’s weight. The Auto-Flex carries 300 lbs.
2. Lift weight: ask for the heaviest piece, not just the total. The Auto-Flex lifts as one 55 lb piece.
3. Fold style: choose an automatic folding mobility scooter if bending or gripping is hard, and a manual folding scooter if you want the lowest price.
4. Range: plan for about 70% of the listed range in a Canadian winter.
5. Battery: choose a lithium battery under 300 Wh if you plan to fly.

Can You Fly With the ZooMe Auto-Flex?

Yes. Drive Medical describes the ZooMe Auto-Flex battery as airline safe, and its 25.9 V, 10 Ah lithium battery works out to about 259 Wh. That is under the 300 Wh limit most airlines use for a removable mobility scooter battery.

Rules still differ between airlines, so call your airline 24 to 48 hours before you fly. Tell them you are travelling with a folding mobility scooter, and give them the make, model, weight and battery rating.

Follow these steps when you fly with your ZooMe Auto-Flex from Toronto Pearson:

1. When you book: tell the airline you are bringing a lithium-battery travel scooter and ask for written approval.
2. Before the trip: charge the battery fully and photograph the scooter from every side.
3. At check-in: go to the airline counter and have the scooter tagged.
4. At the gate: ride to the aircraft door, fold the ZooMe Auto-Flex with the fob, and remove the battery if the airline asks you to carry it on board.
5. On arrival: ask whether your folding scooter comes back to the aircraft door or to oversized baggage.

For the official battery wording, see the FAA PackSafe guide to mobility devices, which follows the same international rules Canadian airlines use.

Will the ZooMe Auto-Flex Fit in My Car?

This folding travel scooter fits in most SUV, hatchback and minivan trunks once folded. It is 17 inches wide, so width is rarely the problem; the lift is.

The heaviest piece weighs 55 lbs, so folding does not make this folding scooter light. If no one at home can lift that weight, ask us about a trunk lift or a lighter folding mobility scooter.

How Does the ZooMe Auto-Flex Handle Toronto and the GTA?

This folding scooter handles Toronto sidewalks, malls, condo lobbies and transit stations well on level ground. Plan around three things:

• Turning radius: at 47.2 inches, the ZooMe Auto-Flex needs more room to turn than a compact scooter. Measure your condo elevator and hallway before you order.
• Winter: lithium batteries lose range in the cold. Charge and store the battery indoors, and wipe road salt off the frame after each ride.
• Ramps and curbs: use curb cuts and gentle ramps, since the climbing angle is 6 degrees.

What Comes With the ZooMe Auto-Flex?

Every ZooMe Auto-Flex ships ready to ride, with no assembly. In the box you get:

• The ZooMe Auto-Flex folding scooter with an auto-folding seat and padded, adjustable armrests
• One 25.9 V, 10 Ah lithium battery (about 259 Wh)
• A 2 A off-board charger, so you can charge the battery indoors away from the scooter
• Two ignition keys and one wireless key fob
• Front and rear reflectors and two anti-tip wheels, already fitted

We check every folding scooter before it ships, and we walk you through setup by phone once it arrives.

6 Mistakes People Make When Buying a Folding Scooter

The most common mistake is buying a folding scooter on total weight alone. Here are six mistakes our Toronto customers try to avoid.

1. Ignoring the heaviest piece: a folding mobility scooter that lifts as one piece can feel heavier than a take-apart model.
2. Not testing the turn: a 47-inch turning radius is fine in malls but can be tight in a small condo elevator.
3. Trusting summer range in winter: cold weather cuts the range of any lithium folding scooter.
4. Forgetting the fob backup: learn the manual release levers before your first trip.
5. Skipping the airline call: every airline has its own battery form, so call before you book.
6. Buying with no local service: a folding scooter needs battery checks and repairs, so buy from a dealer with a repair team nearby.

ZooMe Auto-Flex vs Travel Buggy Helix

The ZooMe Auto-Flex folds itself and carries the most weight; the Travel Buggy Helix is lighter and turns tighter. Here is how the folding scooters and travel scooters we discuss most often compare.

Choose the ZooMe Auto-Flex if you cannot fold a scooter by hand or need a 300 lb capacity. Choose the Helix if you live in a tight condo and want the smallest turning radius. Browse all our folding mobility scooters in Toronto & the GTA.

What Warranty Does the ZooMe Auto-Flex Have?

Drive Medical covers the ZooMe Auto-Flex with a limited lifetime warranty on the frame, 24 months on electronics and 12 months on the battery. Keep your invoice, since Drive asks for proof of purchase on warranty claims.
