Drive AeroMg vs Drive Aerocarbon mobility scooters: models compared

If you’re in the market for an ultralightweight folding mobility scooter, you may have heard of a new model – the Drive AeroMg. So, how does this compare to another leading model – the Drive Aerocarbon? In this guide, we’ll give you a detailed comparison of the two models specifications, along with the advantages of each.

What is the Drive AeroMg mobility scooter?

 

The Drive AeroMg is a new 4-wheel folding mobility scooter with a magnesium frame and lithium battery. 

Advantages of the Drive AeroMg:

 

  • Comfort: with a higher and softer backrest, and longer armrests, the Drive Aeromg is more comfortable to sit on. With a delta tiller, it may also offer more comfortable use of controls, particularly for those with limited hand grip.
  • Storage Options: the Drive Aeromg has two very handy storage features. First, an integrated stand (shown above) so it’s easily to tuck the scooter away when it’s not in use. And, there’s an optional storage box/backpack
  • Fast Charging: boasting advanced technology which allows a full charge in 3 hours, the Drive Aeromg can be charged in around half the time it takes to charge the Drive Aerocarbon.

  • Compact Folding: While both the Drive AeroCarbon and AeroMg offer a manual folding mechanism, the Drive AeroCarbon scooter folds up more compactly.
