Can this scooter ride on grass? How does it handle inclines?
Introducing the YL-985A, the next generation of our best-selling YL-985S. Developed in response to customer feedback, the YL-985A has been engineered with one goal in mind: to create an even lighter scooter without compromising strength, comfort or reliability.
Over the years, we've received countless positive reviews from customers who loved the YL-985S for its portability and ease of use. However, one request came up again and again:
"Can you make it even lighter?"
Our engineering team took on the challenge and found the perfect solution — a completely redesigned Magnesium Alloy frame.
Why Magnesium Alloy?
Most lightweight mobility scooters use aluminium frames. Whilst aluminium is strong and lightweight, Magnesium Alloy offers an even better strength-to-weight ratio, allowing us to dramatically reduce weight without sacrificing durability.
Widely used in aerospace and high-performance automotive applications, Magnesium Alloy enables the YL-985A to remain exceptionally strong whilst being significantly lighter than the standard YL-985S.
Our Lightest Scooter Ever
Thanks to its advanced Magnesium Alloy construction, the YL-985A weighs just:
Only 14 kg Including Battery
This makes it one of the lightest folding mobility scooters available in the UK today.
Whether lifting it into a car boot, storing it at home, taking it on holiday or using public transport, the YL-985A has been designed to make mobility easier than ever before.
