Press a button and your scooter folds itself — no bending, no wrestling

For a lot of people, the hardest part of a folding scooter isn't the ride — it's the folding. Stiff catches, awkward levers and stooping over a frame can put you off going out at all. The Monarch Genie Auto takes that job away. Press the remote and it folds or opens up on its own in seconds.

It's also very light. The main frame weighs 17.5 kg once the battery is out, so lifting it into a car boot is far more manageable. With rear suspension, a padded seat and a lithium battery approved for air, coach and cruise travel, it's made for holidays and days out as much as trips to the shops.

✅ Key Features & Benefits

• Folds and unfolds by remote control
  No bending over or fiddling with catches. A real help if you have a bad back, weak hands or arthritis in your fingers, or simply find folding mechanisms confusing.

• Only 17.5 kg without the battery
  Light enough for many people to lift into the car, or for a partner to help with, without straining shoulders or back.

• Approved for flights, coaches and cruises
  The lithium battery meets travel rules, so your scooter can come on holiday with you rather than being left at home.

• Manual fold as a back-up
  If the battery ever runs flat, you can still fold it by hand, so you're never stuck with an open scooter.

• Rear suspension
  Takes the edge off cracked paving and dropped kerbs, so fewer jolts reach your lower back.

• Battery charges on or off the scooter
  Leave the scooter in the car or hallway and take just the battery indoors to charge.

• Narrow 43 cm frame
  Slips through shop aisles, café tables and doorways with ease, so you can go right inside rather than parking up outside.

• Solid, puncture-proof tyres
  Nothing to pump up and no flats to worry about when you're away from home.

Who it suits best

• You want a scooter for the car boot but struggle to fold one by hand
• You travel by plane, coach or cruise ship
• Shorter trips on pavements and indoors, up to about 9 miles
• Riders up to 19 stone (120 kg)

Worth knowing before you buy

The Genie Auto is a small travel scooter, so it's built for smooth pavements, shops and holiday promenades rather than grass, gravel or steep hills. Its small 5" wheels and 9 cm ground clearance mean kerbs need care, and a range of up to 9 miles suits shorter outings. If you want to go further, ride on rougher ground or need more room to sit, a larger pavement scooter will be more comfortable — we can help you compare.

Questions customers ask us

Can I take it on a plane?
Yes. Its lithium battery is approved for air travel, as well as coaches and cruises. Always check with your airline before you fly, as each one has its own booking process.

What happens if the battery goes flat while it's folded?
You can fold and unfold it by hand as a back-up, so you're not stuck.

Can I try it first?
Of course. Call us first and we'll check it's in the showroom to see it fold — if it isn't, we can usually arrange a demo model. Or book a free home assessment.
