The FreeFold X is the one I'd point most people towards. At 16 kg, it's genuinely light enough to lift into a car boot without doing your back in — and that's not something you can say about most scooters in this class. The 270W brushless motor handles pavements and gentle inclines without hesitation, and the 20–30 km range covers pretty much any realistic daily use scenario. Add a 60-month warranty — exceptional in this market — and it's hard to argue against it.

Think of the FreeFold Standard as the FreeFold X's slightly bigger sibling. It carries more weight (130 kg vs 120 kg), which matters for a lot of users. The motor specs are identical — same 270W brushless — and the range is comparable. The main trade-off is it's 1.5 kg heavier and you get a 24-month warranty rather than 60 months. For most people, those differences are minor. If you're between 120–130 kg, this becomes your default pick over the X.

If you travel regularly — flights, cruises, trains — this is the one to look at. The premium auto-fold version does exactly what it sounds like: one touch, folds in seconds. No wrestling with a frame in an airport. The 36V lithium battery is UN38.3 certified (the standard most airlines check for) and it does 25 km per charge — more than enough for sightseeing days or cruise port excursions.

Most scooters in this category do 18–25 km. This one does 35–40 km — a significant step up. That matters if you're using it all day, doing multiple trips, or living somewhere where recharging mid-day isn't practical. The dual 250W brushless motor setup gives it noticeably more grunt, and the rear spring suspension smooths out the bumps on uneven pavements.

This is a different beast entirely from the folding scooters above. The S800 is a Class 3 road-legal 8mph scooter built for people who spend serious time outdoors. Four oversized 18-inch pneumatic wheels, advanced suspension, and trail tyres mean it handles terrain that would stop a lightweight folder dead. The heated 24V 70Ah lithium battery is a thoughtful touch for UK winters — cold kills battery performance, and this addresses it directly.

The Trekka sits in interesting territory — it's designed for travel versatility but has enough substance for daily use. Dual 24V 6.6Ah lithium batteries give a combined range of up to 20 km, the same proven 270W brushless motor found in the FreeFold range, and it meets ISO, UL, and UN38.3 travel standards. British-designed with a clean, refined look that doesn't scream "medical equipment."

The Easyfold is Welzo's entry-level 4-wheel folder and it does the fundamentals right. The electromagnetic braking gives it safe, controlled stopping on sloped pavements — important and often overlooked. Variable speed settings (1–8 km/h) let new users start slow and build confidence. At 18.6 kg it's not the lightest, but for someone who doesn't need to lift it into a car frequently, that difference matters less.

At 15 kg, this is the lightest scooter in Welzo's range — and one of the lightest available anywhere. The aluminium alloy frame keeps the weight down without sacrificing the structural integrity needed for daily use. Worth noting: despite "all-terrain" in the product name, Welzo themselves clarify this is not an all-terrain scooter. It's best suited to smooth pavements and indoor spaces. The 15 kg figure is the headline here.
