Light enough to lift yourself, comfortable enough to enjoy the ride

Lots of people would love a scooter in the car for days out, but worry they won't manage the lifting. The Drive DeVilbiss AstroLite comes apart in seconds without tools, and its heaviest piece weighs just 9.9 kg — about the same as a full bag of shopping or two.

What surprises people is how smooth it feels for such a small scooter. It has suspension at the front and back and soft-compound tyres, so cracked pavements and shop thresholds are far less jarring. It's a pavement scooter for town trips, holidays and visits, packed into a frame that tucks into a small boot.

✅ Key Features & Benefits

• Heaviest piece only 9.9 kg
  Lift each part into the car yourself without straining your back or shoulders. A real help if you live alone or your partner can't do heavy lifting.

• Suspension front and rear
  Rare on a scooter this light. Bumps and dropped kerbs are softened before they reach your spine, hips and neck.

• Comes apart in seconds, no tools
  It splits into five easy pieces — front, rear, seat, seat post and battery — and goes back together just as quickly, so setting off isn't a chore.

• Soft-compound puncture-proof tyres
  They never go flat, yet give a gentler ride than hard solid tyres.

• Seat swivels all the way round
  Turn the seat to face you, sit down, then swing round to the tiller. Much easier on stiff knees and hips than stepping over the frame.

• Very tight 125 cm turning circle
  Handy in shop aisles, cafés and hallways, so you can turn round without awkward shuffling back and forth.

• Airline-friendly lithium battery
  The standard 10.3Ah battery lifts out for charging indoors, and it's the type airlines usually accept. Check with your airline before you travel.

• Built-in carry handles
  The front bumper doubles as a handle and there's another on the rear section, giving you a safe, firm hold when lifting.

Colours available

Black or Blue.

Who it suits best

• You want to lift a scooter into the car without help

• Riders up to 18.9 stone (120 kg)

Worth knowing before you buy

The AstroLite is built for light weight, and the trade-off is range. With the standard battery it goes around 6.8 miles (11 km), so it suits a trip to the shops or round a resort rather than a long day out. Drive also make a larger 17.2Ah battery that takes it to around 11.4 miles — ask us about it. If you're over 18.9 stone, need to go further, or plan to ride on grass and gravel, a larger pavement scooter will serve you better.

Will it fit in my car?
Very likely. The biggest piece measures 89 × 42 × 37.5 cm, so it suits most hatchbacks. We can check your boot measurements with you.
