Our verdict

A strong travel option for scooter users who cannot bend or lift to fold a frame, since the remote does the folding. Airless wheels and a modest top speed suit airports, ships and stores more than rough outdoor paths.

Overview

Solax designed the Transformer as an electric mobility scooter that folds and unfolds itself at the press of a wireless remote. It runs on a lithium battery approved for air travel, with an aluminum frame, a wide seat with armrests and a height-adjustable tiller.

Hands-free folding is the reason to buy it: no bending, lifting parts or disassembly before a car trunk or a plane door. It is still a fair weight to lift as one piece, so a helper or a lift may be needed for loading.

Who it's for

Suited to seniors and adults who travel often and want to drive right up to the plane door. People who mostly ride outdoors on uneven ground need larger pneumatic wheels and more range.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Folds and unfolds by wireless remote
  • Lithium battery approved for air travel
  • Armrests come standard on the seat
  • Narrow enough for store aisles
Cons
  • Airless wheels give a firmer ride
  • Folded size not listed
  • Airline rules vary by carrier
  • Heavy to lift as one piece

Performance notes

Range and speed come from a compact lithium battery, so steep ramps and heavier riders drain it faster than flat indoor floors. Airless wheels never go flat but pass more bumps to the rider, which favors smooth surfaces like terminals and decks.

Frequently asked questions

Can I adjust the tiller on the Solax Transformer?

Yes. The description says the tiller is height-adjustable, though the listing gives no range.

Can I take the Solax Transformer on a flight?

The lithium battery is described as approved for air travel, and you can drive to the plane door, fold it with the remote and hand it to the crew. Every airline has its own rules, so check before you fly.

Does the Solax Transformer have to be taken apart for transport?

No. The wireless remote folds it automatically, so there is no disassembly. It still weighs 55 pounds as one piece.
