Air Travel & Accessibility
eFOLDi is designed to travel. Every battery is airline-friendly, every model folds down to cabin-luggage size, and every trip starts with a bit of planning.
How air travel works with eFOLDi
You drive your eFOLDi right to the cabin door. There, you remove the battery - it travels in the cabin with you - and airline staff take the folded scooter into the hold. On landing, it's brought back to the door and you're on your way.
Always notify the airline 48–72 hours ahead of departure and confirm their specific requirements. Rules vary slightly between carriers and countries.
Air Travel Checklist
- Notify your airline 48–72 hours before travel
- Carry your battery certificate in your hand luggage
- Check with your airport in advance for their required arrangements
- Keep the battery with you in the cabin
- Confirm assistance / boarding priority when checking in
Essential Travel Form
In partnership with Aviation Services UK, we've created a Flier Friendly travel form for your mobility product, completed with all the key information that may be requested about your eFOLDi, to help avoid delays or confusion at check-in - you just need to add your product's serial number.

Lithium batteries are the most important factor when flying with a mobility scooter. Download the required UN38.3 test certificate for your eFOLDi model. We also have our full battery certificates available for download, so you'll have all the documentation you need for safe, stress-free travel.
