We have a 4 wheel scooter that weighs 160 lb, 2 batteries 24V, 120V charger. It easily disassembles into 6 parts (60 lbs max) with no fasteners. Locally we don't take the charger. Installed a 50' cord reel in the MH for charging.
No repairs to date. Tires are solid rubber so no concern. Batteries are standard type but not automotive related. Some mobility places may have mobile service but I'd just go to them and try to rent if there is going to be down time. Scooter should be reasonable rain proof IMHO.
Transport: Bought a manual scooter carrier for local travel with the car/toad and a cover as needed. Bought 2 14' folddable ramps for transport inside the car (SUV) for longer runs. Just need to lower the tiller and seat back, power it in/out. All strapped down.
The manual carrier got old after a while and now have an electric one that even automatically secures the scooter with no strap.
