The Solax Transformer 2, in three lines
The Transformer 2 folds and unfolds by remote or by hand, and Solax rates it for 300 lb and up to 13.5 miles, the longest range among the folding scooters we compared.
Solax sold it direct for $2,775 on November 12, 2026 (against a $3,885 MSRP), with a free side-arm bag, cup holder and shipping. Mobility Department listed the same price.
The catch: 55 lb to lift, and a one-year warranty on electrical-mechanical parts.
Who it's for
Buy it if
- You travel and want four wheels that fold themselves
- Range matters: 13.5 miles is the most among the folders here
- You like buying from the maker
Skip it if
- Nobody can lift 55 lb
- You want a long warranty on the electronics: the ZooMe has 24 months
- You need more than 300 lb of capacity
What Solax says it is
Solax calls the Transformer 2 "the worlds leading automatic folding scooter". Strip the marketing and the page lists a remote that folds and unfolds it at the touch of a button, an on-board button to fold it when the remote is not with you, a manual fold, a new frame and body, an ergonomic steering wheel with speed control, horn and battery indicator, and true four-wheel stability. Mobility Department's spec table adds a 3.75 mph top speed, 38 inches of length, 18 inches of width with the armrests and a 22-inch seat-to-floor height.
The airline question
Solax describes the battery as an "airline approved lithium-ion battery" weighing 4 lb. It is listed as 24 V and 10.5 Ah; multiply them, as the FAA tells you to, and you get about 252 Wh, under the 300 Wh limit for removable mobility device batteries. Your airline still decides, so call ahead.
Warranty, read closely
Solax's warranty page lists three years for the metal structural frame, excluding the folding motor and the tiller, one year for electrical-mechanical parts and six months for the battery. That is why it sits behind the Drive ZooMe Auto-Flex in our score despite more range. Compare both on our folding ranking.
What we like, and the catch
- Folds and unfolds by remote, by an on-board button, or by hand
- Up to 13.5 miles of range, 300 lb capacity (Solax)
- 24 V, 10.5 Ah lithium battery of about 252 Wh, 4 lb
- Height- and angle-adjustable steering column
The catch: It weighs 55 lb with the battery (Solax; Mobility Department says 53), and the warranty is three years on the metal frame but only one year on electrical-mechanical parts and six months on the battery. Solax notes the frame warranty does not cover the folding motor.

Paperwork and safety
Solax does not state an FDA classification for this scooter on the pages we read, so we don't either.
Medicare Part B can cover a scooter only when it is medically necessary for moving around inside your home, with a face-to-face visit, a written order and prior authorization through a Medicare-enrolled supplier. Solax Mobility sells this one as a cash purchase. Read our Medicare guide.
This is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor or physical therapist about whether a scooter suits you, how far you should ride and how much you can safely lift, and follow Solax's instructions for use.
