  1. The Revo mobility scooter requires little or no disassembly for transport, and can fit in most car trunks. If you are looking for a scooter that is a little larger and more powerful than the smaller travel scooters. The Revo Scooter features a fully portable with a self-contained removable battery/charger pack and adjustable flolding tiller.
