Folds and unfolds by remote 55.1 lbs. with the battery
A four-wheel folding scooter for indoor floors and flat paths. It carries up to 220 lbs. at up to 3.7 mph.
The Hieline Insight
The Vive Folding Mobility Scooter is built around one job, which is getting a scooter into a car trunk without wrestling with latches. It folds and unfolds by motor from a remote or from the switch on the scooter, it weighs 55.1 lbs. with its lithium battery, and Vive shows it 36" tall when folded. The limits are plain. Vive rates it for 220 lbs. and its manual calls it an indoor type scooter for indoor floors and flat paths, with 1" of ground clearance and a 9° limit on slopes, so it is the wrong tool for grass, gravel or a steep driveway. The seat is small, and Vive's website says the scooter suits riders 5'5" and under. Top speed is 3.7 mph. Vive's manual gives 11.2 miles on a charge, and real range falls with rider weight and hills.
What stands out
Folds by remote
The scooter folds and unfolds by motor. Use the remote that comes with it or the folding switch on the scooter, near the rear wheel.
Light enough for a trunk
The whole scooter weighs 55.1 lbs. with the battery. Vive shows it 36" tall, 18" wide and 15" deep when folded.
Lithium battery that lifts out
The 24V 10AH lithium battery sits in a box on the scooter and charges on the scooter or off it. Vive's manual gives 6 to 8 hours for a charge.
Controls on the tiller
The tiller has a key switch, a speed dial, a twist lever for forward and reverse and a battery gauge. The tiller height adjusts.
Flat-free tires
The four 7.78" tires are solid, so there is no air to check.
Freewheel lever
A lever at the seat base releases the motor so the scooter can be pushed by hand.

Common questions
What surfaces is it for?
Vive's manual calls it an indoor type scooter for indoor floors and flat paths. It says not to ride it on grass, gravel, wet or slick surfaces, or slopes steeper than 9°. Ground clearance is 1".
How does it fold?
It folds and unfolds by motor. Press the buttons on the remote in the order Vive's manual gives, or use the folding switch on the scooter. The remote works only with the key out of the ignition and the power switch set to full power.
How tall can the rider be?
Vive's website says the scooter is ideal for riders 5'5" and under, and one of Vive's own pictures says 5 feet to 6'1". The two do not agree, so try it in the store.
Where do the specifications come from?
They come from Vive's owner's manual for the MOB1030, in the Resources tab, and from Vive's website, which lists its folding scooter under part number MOB1058BLK today with the same pictures. Where the two differ, this page prints the manual. The website gives up to 11.3 miles per charge and a 6.5' turning radius, and one of its answers says 225 lbs. where the rest say 220 lbs. The manual gives a seat 14.2" wide and 13.8" above the platform, and the website gives 14.7" X 13.78" and 14".
