I will be taking my mom to WDW in a couple of weeks. She will need a scooter for this trip for the first time. I am interested in which off-site rental companies have scooters that you can disassemble and which of those have the lightest pieces and how easy they are to put together and take apart. Any help would be appreciated as I don't do heavy or complicated real well!!
 
Any of them that rent the Pride Go-Go series of scooters, would be good. They are easy to disassemble scooters. I have the Go-Go Elite Traveler Plus 3 wheel scooter and the heaviest piece is about 39lbs. The whole thing only weighs about 115lbs when fully assembled. It breaks down into 4 pieces quite easy and fits in the trunk of a Ford Fusion very easily.
 
We went for the same scooter as above. We used apple scooters. Great rate only charged half day for our arrival as we were arriving after 4 pm. good service. Have fun
 
the Pride to Go which is your best bet will go over 100 pounds total. The base of the unit is awkward; it's one large piece that measures 40 X 20 dissasembled. The battery pack will weigh over 30 pounds by itself. It's five pieces when broken down. You can just take the battery pack only and charge it every night in your room. If you do this get a small dolly that's portable to help with this.

We manage, but there's two of us for leverage to get it in and out of the car. Once in a while my hubby would do it all on his own. If you're younger and/or strong it's manageable by one.

The best advice is to go to a medical mobility store locally where this model is handled (it's a popular kind). They will do a demo for you. You can see how it comes apart and fits into the car. They will let you do it on your own, too. You'll be able to drive it a lttle, as well. Also, your mom can see how it is if you bring her with. It's a smaller scooter; so, this way you can see if she's comfortable in it. There are demos on u tube which will show you how this scooter breaks down, too.

We have used Apple Scooters in the past and no complaints on this end. Recently, they had a price increase. They are still quite competitive. The best price out there for the same scooter appears to be AllStar Scooters right now which is an off shoot company from Randy's Mobility.

Enjoy your trip.
