Feather 27X Scooter -- Ultra-Lightweight Folding Mobility Scooter - 250 LB Capacity
The lightest mobility scooter available. 27 lbs. Folds to 16" x 24". Airline and cruise approved. Battery and charger included.
The Feather 27X is the lightest mobility scooter available at 27 pounds without the battery. It folds down to just 16" x 24" x 10" -- small enough to fit in an airplane overhead compartment, under a cruise ship cabin bed, or in the trunk of a compact car.
Four-wheel stability with a one-fold frame that collapses in seconds. No disassembly, no loose parts. The airline-approved lithium-ion battery delivers up to 6 miles of range at a top speed of 4 mph, and the flat-free tires mean zero maintenance.

How Does it Fold?
The Feather 27X uses a one-fold mechanism. No tools, no disassembly, no separate pieces to keep track of:
- Stand behind the scooter
- Fold the frame down using the one-fold mechanism
- Done -- the entire scooter is now 16" wide, 24" long, and just 10" high
At 27 lbs without the battery, most people can lift it with one hand. It fits in a car trunk, a coat closet, an airplane overhead compartment, or under a cruise ship cabin bed.
Who is this For?
This scooter is built for you if:
- You weigh up to 250 lbs and need a mobility scooter you can take anywhere
- You travel by air or cruise ship and need something that meets airline and cruise requirements
- You want the smallest possible folded footprint for storage
- You prefer scooter-style handlebars over a wheelchair joystick
- You need a lightweight scooter for errands, appointments, and short outings
This may not be the right fit if:
- You weigh over 250 lbs (see our Silverado Extreme at 450 lbs or Pioneer 10 at 500 lbs)
- You need extended range beyond 6 miles per charge (the Feather Power Chair offers 11 miles, or the Silverado Extreme offers 55 miles)
- You need all-terrain capability for rough outdoor surfaces (see our Silverado Extreme with pneumatic tires)
- You need a wheelchair rather than a scooter (see our Feather Power Chair or Vision Sport with Lift)
- You plan to use it as your primary all-day mobility device -- this is designed for portability and shorter outings

FAQ
How much does it actually weigh? 27 lbs without the battery. Approximately 29 lbs with the battery installed. The battery is removable and weighs about 2 lbs.
Can I take it on an airplane? Yes. The scooter is airline approved and the folded dimensions (16" x 24" x 10") fit most overhead compartments. The lithium-ion battery meets airline requirements. Always check with your specific airline before traveling.
Can I take it on a cruise ship? Yes. The Feather 27X is cruise line compliant. The folded size fits under most cabin beds for convenient storage.
How far does it go on one charge? Up to 6 miles under optimal conditions. Real-world range depends on rider weight, terrain, speed, and temperature. For longer outings, add a spare battery ($250).
Is 6 miles enough? For most outings, yes. Six miles covers a full trip around a mall, airport, cruise port, or neighborhood. If you regularly need longer range, consider the Feather Power Chair (11 miles) or our Silverado Extreme scooter (55 miles).
Can it handle hills? It is rated for slopes up to 6 degrees. It is designed for flat, hard, dry surfaces. It handles standard ramps and gentle inclines but is not built for steep hills or rough terrain.
Is it comfortable for long periods? The seat and back cushion provide comfort for outings and errands. For extended all-day use, a full-size scooter or power wheelchair would provide better long-term seating support.
What is the weight limit? 250 lbs. The ultra-lightweight frame is engineered for portability, not heavy-duty use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you order
Will my insurance pay for this scooter?
It depends on your plan, but many of our customers get Medicare or insurance to cover most or all of the cost. Just give us a call at 1-804-315-3950 and we'll check it for you in a few minutes — completely free. You don't have to figure it out alone.
How far can I go on one charge?
On a full charge you can ride up to 25 to 30 miles. That's more than enough for grocery shopping, a park visit, or getting around your neighborhood all day. Just plug it in overnight and it's ready to go in the morning.
I'm a bigger person. Will this hold my weight?
Absolutely. This scooter is built to hold up to 450 pounds comfortably. The frame is heavy duty and feels very solid. Many of our customers specifically chose this model because other scooters weren't strong enough for them.
Is it hard to learn how to drive it?
Not at all. The controls are very simple — just a thumb lever to go forward and a button to reverse. Most people feel fully comfortable within 10 to 15 minutes. Our delivery team will also show you everything when they set it up at your home.
How does delivery work? Do I have to put it together?
You don't have to do anything. We deliver it straight to your front door, bring it inside, put it together, and make sure everything is working perfectly. We call this our White Glove Setup and it comes completely free with every order.
Can I use this outside on bumpy roads or grass?
Yes. This scooter was made for outdoor use. It has large thick tires and a suspension system that absorbs bumps really well. Whether it's gravel, grass, a park path, or an uneven sidewalk — it handles it smoothly and comfortably.
What if I don't like it after I get it?
No problem at all. We have a 30-day return policy. If you're not happy for any reason, just call us and we'll take care of the return for you. No fees, no stress, no questions asked. We want you to feel 100% confident before and after buying.
What happens if something breaks down?
We've got you covered. Every scooter comes with a 1-year warranty on the frame, 6 months on the motor and electronics, and 3 months on the battery. And our support team is just a phone call away anytime you need help — even after the warranty period.
