Our verdict
The Kymco K-Lite FE offer a great balance of portability and value. The FE’s electric folding mechanism is ideal for those wanting convenience without manual effort. With a lightweight frame, intuitive mechanisms, and easy portability, the K-Lite FE is an excellent choice for everyday travel.
If you have a greater budget, the TGA Minimo Autofold mobility scooter can be folded more compactly compared to the K-lite FE, and its pneumatic tyres create a smoother travel experience. For added reliability, the Minimo Autofold also comes with a three-year warranty. However, the K-Lite FE stands out as a more economical and lightweight option compared to the Minimo Autofold.
Alternatively, the Motion Healthcare Connex mobility scooter offers portability and an auto-fold feature with additional features. The seat is rotatable, which can be useful for users to get in and out of their scooter. Its pneumatic tyres also provide greater comfort when travelling over uneven surfaces. While the rear axle cannot be removed in the K-Lite FE, the Connex can be dismantled into four components, with the heaviest component weighing only 17.6 kg. Although the K-Lite FE is a more economical option, the Connex comes with a 5-year warranty for added security.
Overall, the Kymco K-Lite is a well-rounded choice for users who want an inexpensive, convenient solution to travel in both indoor and outdoor urban areas.
