Most lightweight travel scooters tap out at 300 lbs. The Golden Buzzaround CarryOn HD (GB220) is the only one built to carry up to 400 lbs. — and it still folds to under 14" tall, runs on two airline-friendly lithium-ion batteries, and goes where you go. A brushless motor, larger full-sized seat, higher ground clearance, and bigger tires give the HD the muscle to handle heavier riders and more demanding terrain without giving up the portability that makes the CarryOn line worth choosing in the first place.
The HD builds on everything that made the standard CarryOn popular and scales it up. The seat is 16" x 18" — a genuinely full-sized stadium seat with width-adjustable, textured soft-touch armrests and ample legroom. The brushless motor delivers smoother, more efficient operation than a brushed drive, with better longevity over time. At 4.29 mph top speed it's also faster than the standard model, and the larger 7.25" front and 8.25" rear tires give it noticeably better traction on varied surfaces. How does the HD compare to the standard CarryOn? →
That distinction matters. Most folding travel scooters in this class are rated at 250–300 lbs., which leaves a significant portion of potential users without a genuinely portable option. The CarryOn HD closes that gap — same fold-flat design, same airline-friendly batteries, same color options — but with the structural capacity to serve riders who've previously been limited to full-size scooters. If the standard CarryOn has been on your radar but the weight capacity was the sticking point, the HD exists specifically for you. Weight capacity details →
Brushless motors have fewer moving parts than brushed motors, which means less friction, less heat, and a longer service life. In practice, the difference shows up as quieter operation, more consistent torque delivery, and better energy efficiency — all of which matter on a scooter you're relying on for all-day use on a cruise ship or at an airport. The HD's brushless drive is one of its most meaningful upgrades over the standard CarryOn. More about the brushless motor →
The HD comes standard with both a 12.5 AH lithium-ion main battery — up to 14.2 miles — and a spare 6.5 AH lithium-ion battery — up to 7.4 miles — for a combined range of up to 21.6 miles. Both batteries are airline-friendly, removable, and can be carried on board while traveling by air, sea, or train. The spare battery stores in the rear basket via the kickstand assembly when not in use. Battery and airline travel details →
The HD folds to under 14" tall without the seat — two inches taller than the standard CarryOn when folded, which is the expected tradeoff for the added capacity. The heaviest piece is 52.5 lbs. without the seat and battery. The full assembly is 77.5 lbs., but with the seat at 20 lbs. and each battery at 5 lbs. removing separately, most people can manage the load piece by piece into a vehicle or overhead compartment. A kickstand allows upright vertical storage in tight spaces. How the HD folds →
The HD's console includes both USB-A and USB-C charging ports, an LED battery indicator, cane holder, and cup holder — everything you'd want within reach on a long day of travel. The tiller adjusts infinitely to fit different rider heights, and the armrests are both width-adjustable and textured for a comfortable grip. The sporty blacked-out styling is the same as the standard CarryOn, with the same full range of color shroud options to personalize the look. Color options →
The Buzzaround CarryOn HD GB220 is backed by a lifetime limited warranty on the frame, and a 2-year warranty on the drivetrain, electronics, and batteries.

The HD (GB220) supports 400 lbs. versus the standard CarryOn's 300 lbs., and adds a brushless motor, larger full-sized seat (16" x 18" vs 15" x 13.75"), bigger tires, higher ground clearance, USB-A and USB-C ports, and width-adjustable armrests. It folds to 14" rather than 12" and has a heaviest piece of 52.5 lbs. vs 47.5 lbs. Both models come with two airline-friendly batteries and the same color options.
The CarryOn HD supports up to 400 lbs., making it the only lightweight folding travel scooter in its class at this capacity. It's the right choice for riders who've needed a heavy-duty scooter but wanted something portable enough to travel with.
Brushless motors have fewer moving parts than brushed motors, which translates to quieter operation, more consistent torque, better energy efficiency, and a longer service life. For everyday travel use, you'll notice smoother acceleration and better performance across varied terrain.
The CarryOn HD folds flat to under 14" tall without the seat. The seat (20 lbs.) and batteries (5 lbs. each) remove separately, so the heaviest single piece to lift is the 52.5 lb. main body. A kickstand allows vertical storage in tight spaces, and the rear basket holds the spare battery when not in use.
Yes — both the 12.5 AH and 6.5 AH lithium-ion batteries are airline-friendly and removable, so you can carry them on board rather than checking them with cargo. The combined range is up to 21.6 miles. Always confirm with your airline before traveling, as policies and federal regulations vary.
The HD ships with Velvet Red shrouds installed and a set of Coastal Blue shrouds included in the box. Optional color shroud kits (upcharge applies) are available in Canary Yellow, Crisp White, Stone Grey, Orchid Pink, Army Green (Matte), and Desert Tan.
Fully assembled the CarryOn HD weighs 77.5 lbs. It breaks down into the main body at 52.5 lbs., the seat with arms at 20 lbs., and each battery at 5 lbs., making it manageable to load in pieces into a vehicle or storage space.
