I can't lift 50 lbs due to disability. Is there something that would assist in getting it into a traditional car trunk or hatchback?

I can't lift 50 pounds either, but I have no trouble getting my Mobie in and out of the car. If I'm with someone, I fold and we both lift (25 lbs each is easy). If I'm alone, I run it up a doggy ramp I got for it, into to backseat floorspace (guiding, not riding.). Easy Peasy!

They are coming out with a trunk lift specifically for the Mobie. However, if you can't lift 50 pounds, you would have a very hard time pulling the Mobie along behind you anywhere. It is not a lightweight machine. You would be far better off in a small travel scooter like the Zipr, that you can break down into 4 pieces and lift into the trunk of a car. On the travel scooters the heaviest piece ranges between 29 to 33 pounds. Bill Keene 954-421-3169 Boca Home Medical Solutions

Sorry, I'm not sure. I sent the hoyer lift to my parents. I've used one before and I think think you can bring the person to the car and sort of swing the person to the top of the seat and slowly lower it. I think it'll be hard to get the person directly on top of the seat because of the straps that's carrying that person. I'm not sure if that helps.

Approximately 37lbs. I'm 5'2 and could get it into my trunk easily by myself. Especially since you can take the legs off first, that lightens it up before lifting it.

Yes! There is a basket that you can take off easily, then fold the unit for lifting. The little chair portion folds up. It's quite light so a normal sized adult can probably lift it with one hand. I put the folded walker in my trunk of the car quite often when taking my mom somewhere.

I am not sure but I am disabled and I can fold it up and put it in the car trunk or backseat by myself

What I did was remove the basket, then lower the handlebars and seat (or remove the seat and/or handlebars and set them aside if space was tight). By doing that I could get it into my trunk.

No. It is not car seat compatible and it is not easy to fold to put in the trunk. You have to take off all the wheels and if you are short say 5'5 or smaller it will not be easy to push. Hope this is helpful.

Thanks for the response. One of the other posters said that its really heavy (46 pounds) and hard ot get in and outof the car. How did you find the weight?

I have never tried to fit it in a car trunk. I use it only where I live and take a smaller, more flexible, walker to go out.

they do not lift the vehicle. if its lift you're wanting for the rear, I'd suggest an add a leaf for towing

We have a suv and it easily lifts into the back. It weighs less than 100 lbs and is lightest when battery is removed and this is very easy to do. It simply Unlocks and lifts out with ,handle of case battery is enclosed into. You can get a rack that attatches to a hitch on car that it will easily go up on. We transport it in this manner when we need the space in suv for other things. This rack is quite inexpensive.

It's light enough to carry easily and you can shorten the legs. I would say it would be easy to put in a trunk of a vehicle.

FINALLY found what I needed to help get me OUT of the wheelchair and house more often! THIS one is so lightweight can lift it with two fingers! Just collapse it and literally toss into car! AMAZING! Spent over TWO YEARS trying to get going out for simple errands, but it was so discouraging to have to depend on others because could not lift the lightest 15lb walker with seat that was available on market! THIS IS THE ONE! NOPE! It does NOT have a seat, but then could never lift it if it did ... soo compromise gets me out of the house - prison finally! YAY! BTW MINE is a STANDER, NOT an ABLE! But they look identical so no idea WHAT THAT is all about??? FINALLY found what I needed to help get me OUT of the wheelchair and house more often!

I'm not elderly, but I am disabled w/chronic pain-many elderly people can run circles around me. That being said, I have no trouble folding it up. I lay it in an unobstructed area in a hatchback, and slide it back out w/no problem. I did have a small car & it is a pain if you have to stand it behind the seat, or jockey the wheels around in a small trunk.

No the chair basically fold in half. I can get it in the trunk of my 2013 Toyota Camray with no problem.

A pickup would be best to transport it but you can do it with a car as long as your back seat/s can fold down OR if they don't fold down you can shove it in far enough to have most of the weight away from the back end of the car. It's heavy, I needed an Ikea guy to help me get it in the trunk.Make sure you have some padding because any protruding latch hardware on the trunk will scratch the table through the cardboard. You need a long length of FIRM padding.

I have a Volvo sedan and the truck is very heavy when I have the bike rack mounted. It's hard/ heavy to lift and insert the lock into the trunk.
