Buddy

Product Description

Buddy is the third generation of TGA’s lighweight portable scooters; its clever, its practical, its stylish, its innovative, its brilliant!

The natural successor to the amazingly successful TGA Superlight which brought a new meaning to the mobility of thousands of users worlwide with its ability to break down into easy-to-lift pieces that went into the boot of your car. New technology and production techniques have been accelerated by public-driven demand to produce a 21st century third generation successor; the Buddy.

TGA has used the experience to produce a brilliant and clever design, with Buddy’s stunning good looks and increased user friendliness; part of its design brief was to make it as light as possible, hence the use of aluminium in its frame. These elements combined to take Buddy to a new level in portable scooter design.

Buddy has two unique systems; it folds instantly to go into a car boot, or it comes to pieces in seconds if necessary, to fit into an even smaller boot. Its so easy, anyone can do it; even the wheels are push button release.

Buddy has brought mobility to thousands worldwide. Clever, practical and stylish, we think its one of the most practical of scooters on the market. Lightweight and portable, but also strong and comfortable, Buddy fits in almost any car boot and has a range of up to 12 miles. Plenty of legroom for all users and a stable secure base making the Buddy an excellent all round scooter.
