Simply swipe the control fob on the control panel while pressing the foot pedal to start the automated folding, and your Minimo will fold up to an ultra-compact size, perfect for travel and transport. The Minimo Autofold fits easily into the back of even small cars, whether you lift or lever it in, and is also the ideal scooter to use alongside a car boot hoist. The compact size also makes it ideal for other forms of travel, whether that be fitting into a coach luggage compartment, a cruise ship cabin, or travelling by air - with the ultra-light 11.5 Ah Lithium-Ion battery Civil Aviation Authority-compliant.
The traditional four-wheel configuration provides maximum stability for a safe ride, while the compact frame ensures the Minimo Autofold has a tight turning circle - ideal for manoeuvring around shops or cruise ships. Pneumatic tyres help to provide a smooth drive, and the seat is padded - though it should be noted that to keep the scooter light and foldable, the seat does not feature the same level of padding as found on larger scooters, and does not rotate. While the Minimo Autofold has a weight capacity of 18 stone, given the seat is 16 inches wide and the armrests cannot be widened, we would not generally recommend it for people close to the weight capacity as the seat is likely to be a tight fit.
Our Verdict
TGA have long been the market-leaders with folding scooters, and the TGA Minimo Autofold Mobility Scooter is the pinnacle of their range. It offers the ultimate convenience for those wanting a modern and stylish scooter to travel with. With a three-year warranty, you know you can rely on the Minimo Autofold.
It must be noted that as with many autofolding scooters, the battery cannot be removed when the scooter is folded up - and it needs to be in place to activate the folding mechanism. You will therefore need to have the scooter unfolded when charging the battery. If this is an issue then we would recommend considering the autofolding eDrive instead.
