The METRO W429S Foldable Electric Mobility Scooter is designed for Kiwis who value independence and convenience. Weighing just 60kg with a compact foldable design, the W429S is easy to transport and store – perfect for everything from daily errands to weekend getaways.

Powered by a 300W motor and a 24V 20Ah lead-acid battery, the W429S delivers a dependable 25km range per charge – ample for trips to the local shops, appointments, or a relaxing ride along the waterfront. With a 136kg load capacity, it comfortably supports a wide range of users.

Comfort is built into every detail. The 360° swivel luxury seat with headrest makes transfers effortless, while adjustable armrests, seat height, and handlebars let you find your perfect driving position. A walking cane compartment keeps your mobility aid secure, and the rear flagpole mount enhances visibility for added safety.

The electromagnetic braking system stops immediately when you release the controls – safe and intuitive for riders of all experience levels. Front and rear LED lights ensure visibility on overcast days and during twilight rides. 9-inch pneumatic tyres with rear shock absorption deliver a smooth, stable ride across New Zealand's varied surfaces.

Built with a durable steel frame, the METRO W429S is your reliable companion for everyday mobility.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Battery Care

Charge the battery after each use to maintain optimal performance

Avoid completely draining the battery; recharge when it reaches 20–30% capacity

Low tyre pressure reduces range and affects handling stability
