The Golden Technologies Buzzaround LT is the smallest, lightest scooter in the Buzzaround lineup — and the one that makes the most sense if portability is the primary concern. Both configurations disassemble into five pieces with the heaviest part at just 28 lbs., handle up to 300 lbs., and deliver a smooth indoor/outdoor ride with 2.5" of ground clearance. The 3-wheel (GB107) is the more maneuverable option for tighter spaces; the 4-wheel (GB108) adds Golden's exclusive MicroTurn™ technology and a 41.75" turning radius — an unusual achievement for a four-wheel design — along with extra stability for uneven surfaces.
The configuration decision comes down to how and where you'll use the scooter most. The 3-wheel GB107 is the lighter choice — its front section weighs 28 lbs., making it easier to load into a car trunk or back seat on your own. It turns tighter out of the box, which makes it more practical for narrow grocery store aisles, hallways, and indoor environments where space is limited. The 4-wheel GB108 is about 6 lbs. heavier overall but adds a second front wheel, which distributes weight more evenly and provides a noticeably more stable ride on uneven pavement, grass edges, and outdoor surfaces. The MicroTurn™ technology on the 4-wheel model closes most of the maneuverability gap between configurations — its 41.75" turning radius is considerably tighter than a typical four-wheel scooter — so stability-minded users aren't giving up much. If you spend most of your time indoors or in tight spaces and prioritize the lightest possible disassembly weight, the 3-wheel is the right call. If you use the scooter outdoors regularly or want the added confidence of four-point contact, the 4-wheel is the better fit. 3-wheel vs. 4-wheel comparison →
"The LT is the one we recommend when someone's main concern is loading and unloading without help. At 28 lbs. for the heaviest piece, most people can manage it independently. The question we ask is where they're going to be using it most — if it's mostly indoors or in stores, the 3-wheel. If they're going to be rolling on driveways, parking lots, or anywhere the surface is uneven, the 4-wheel gives them a more confident ride without giving up much in the way of turning."

Most four-wheel scooters sacrifice turning radius for stability — you get a more planted ride but a wider sweep when you turn. Golden's MicroTurn™ technology on the GB108 rethinks that tradeoff by engineering the front wheel geometry specifically to achieve a tighter arc. The result is a 41.75" turning radius that would be unremarkable on a three-wheel scooter but is genuinely impressive on a four-wheel design. For users who need four-wheel stability but still want to use the scooter in standard doorways, hallways, and store aisles without constant three-point turns, this is the feature that makes the GB108 practical.

Both LT models break down into five pieces without tools. For the 3-wheel GB107, the front section — the heaviest piece — weighs 28 lbs. The rear section is 20.5 lbs. and the seat with arms is 13.5 lbs. For the 4-wheel GB108, the front section is 34 lbs. due to the second front wheel assembly, with the rear section and seat remaining the same. These weights are low enough that most users can lift the pieces into a car trunk or back seat independently, which is the practical standard the LT is designed around. No ramp required, no vehicle modification needed. Transporting the LT →
The LT uses a lightweight stadium-style seat with width-adjustable, flip-back armrests and three seat height increments. The seat is designed for all-day comfort without the bulk of a padded captain's chair, keeping the overall weight down while still providing proper support. The delta tiller is operable with one hand and adjusts angle with a simple knob turn — useful for users with limited reach or grip strength. A tiller-mounted charging port means you can plug in without having to remove the battery, which is a practical convenience for daily users who charge frequently. The non-slip deck and scuff guard protect the unit during loading and unloading. Color-through shrouds in Blue and Red resist surface scratches without needing paint touch-ups. The hard plastic front basket is included standard. Seat adjustments →

Common questions we hear from customers considering the Buzzaround LT at Broadway Home Medical.
The 3-wheel GB107 has a lighter front section (28 lbs. vs. 34 lbs.) and naturally tighter turning, making it the better choice for primarily indoor use and for users who prioritize the lightest possible pieces for loading. The 4-wheel GB108 adds MicroTurn™ technology for a tight 41.75" turning radius despite having four wheels, provides better stability on uneven outdoor surfaces, and is a stronger choice if you'll be using the scooter outdoors regularly. Both share the same 300 lb. capacity, speed, range, and seat system.
MicroTurn™ is Golden's proprietary front wheel geometry system that allows the GB108 to achieve a 41.75" turning radius — tight for a four-wheel scooter design. It addresses the typical tradeoff where four-wheel stability comes at the cost of maneuverability, making the GB108 practical in standard doorways, hallways, and store aisles that would challenge most other four-wheel scooters.
Both LT models separate into five pieces without tools. For the 3-wheel: the front section weighs 28 lbs., rear section 20.5 lbs., and seat with arms 13.5 lbs. For the 4-wheel: the front section is 34 lbs., with the rear and seat weights the same. The pieces are sized to fit in most car trunks or back seats without a vehicle lift or ramp.
The 3-wheel GB107 weighs 80 lbs. total. The 4-wheel GB108 weighs 86 lbs. total. For transport purposes, the practical weight that matters is the heaviest individual piece: 28 lbs. for the 3-wheel front section and 34 lbs. for the 4-wheel front section.
The Buzzaround LT is rated for up to 7 miles per charge. Actual range varies with rider weight, terrain, surface type, and battery condition — the rating is measured at approximately 200 lbs. on a flat surface. For heavier riders or outdoor use on rougher surfaces, expect a shorter practical range.
Yes. The stadium-style seat has three height increments for floor-to-seat adjustment and width-adjustable armrests that flip back to allow easier transfers. The delta tiller adjusts angle with a knob and is operable with one hand, which is useful for users with limited grip strength or reach.
Yes — both models are designed for indoor and light outdoor use. The 3-wheel GB107 is the more natural indoor choice given its tighter turning. The 4-wheel GB108 with MicroTurn™ technology also navigates standard indoor environments well. Neither model is intended for rough outdoor terrain, steep grades, or prolonged outdoor use on uneven surfaces.
Yes. All Golden scooters are available in left or right-hand control configuration and swivel seat operation. Left-hand configuration must be specified at the time of order — it cannot be changed after the unit ships. Mention this when ordering through Broadway Home Medical.
The Buzzaround LT carries a lifetime limited warranty on the frame, a 2-year warranty on electrical parts, and a 1-year in-home labor warranty included at no additional cost. The in-home labor coverage means a technician comes to you for service calls during year one — you're not shipping the scooter anywhere.
The Buzzaround LT 3-wheel and 4-wheel are both available at Broadway Home Medical, Wichita's largest DME store. Stop by either of our two locations to see the scooter in person, ask about current configuration and color availability, and talk through whether the 3-wheel or 4-wheel model better fits your needs.
The Golden Buzzaround LT is an FDA Class II Medical Device designed to assist persons with chronic physical disablements. Range figures based on 200 lb. rider weight on flat surface; actual range varies with rider weight, terrain, and battery condition. Specifications subject to change without notice. Left-hand control configuration must be specified at time of order.
