The Golden Technologies Buzzaround XL+ (GB152) is a 4-wheel travel scooter that moves faster, carries more, and comes with more standard features than anything else in the Buzzaround lineup at this size. At 4.7 mph with a 325 lb. capacity, MicroTurn™ technology delivering a 39" turning radius, front and rear suspension, and customizable LED accent lighting with over 60 color configurations, it's a genuine step up from a basic travel scooter. Two color shroud sets — Velvet Red installed and Coastal Blue included in the box — mean you can change the look without ordering anything extra. It disassembles into five pieces with the heaviest at 42.5 lbs., runs up to 9.2 miles on the standard 12 Ah lithium battery, and includes USB-A and USB-C ports on the tiller as standard.
Most travel scooters come in one color and that's what you get. The XL+ comes with Velvet Red shrouds installed and Coastal Blue shrouds included in the box as a second set. The color-through design means the shrouds themselves are the color — no paint to scratch or chip — and switching between the two sets takes a few minutes without tools. If you want red today and blue next week, or you just want a backup set available, it's already there. This is an unusual standard inclusion at this price point and one of the details that separates the XL+ from the previous generation XL. About the color options →
A standard four-wheel travel scooter typically has a turning radius in the 44–50" range — manageable outdoors, but tight in grocery store aisles, restaurant spaces, and doorways. Golden's MicroTurn™ technology on the XL+ brings that down to 39", which is tighter than most three-wheel scooters in this class. The engineering achieves this through the front wheel geometry rather than by reducing the wheelbase, which means you keep the full stability of four-wheel contact without the wide sweep. For a user who needs four-wheel confidence on uneven surfaces but also spends time in confined indoor spaces, this is the configuration that doesn't force a compromise. More about MicroTurn™ →
"The XL+ is what we recommend when someone wants a four-wheel scooter for the stability but has been hesitant because of the turning radius. At 39 inches it handles tighter than a lot of three-wheel models, so you're not giving anything up in terms of maneuverability. Add in the suspension, the faster top speed, and the fact that you get both colors out of the box — it's a meaningful step up from the LT with a lot of features you'd normally pay extra for."

The full-color LED console gives you a clear speedometer and battery meter without squinting at a small display — a practical upgrade over the basic battery indicators on lower-tier scooters. The customizable LED side accent lighting runs along the body of the scooter with over 60 color configurations, which is either a feature you'll use and enjoy or one you'll leave on a default and not think about — either way it doesn't add complexity to the basic operation. Front and rear LED headlights are also standard. The EZ Pivot tiller is the practical standout: it adjusts angle by hand or by foot, which matters for users who have difficulty bending to reach the tiller adjustment. USB-A and USB-C ports on the tiller keep a phone charged without needing a separate power bank. A phone holder mounts to the tiller as standard. About the controls and lighting →
The XL+ has both front and rear suspension — an uncommon combination at this weight and price class, where most travel scooters have either one or neither. The practical difference is felt on sidewalk cracks, parking lot transitions, and any surface that isn't perfectly flat. The contoured stadium-style mesh seat promotes airflow for longer rides and adjusts to three height positions in 1" increments, covering a ground-to-seat range of 21.5" to 23.5". Seat width is 16" and depth is 15.5" — sized appropriately for the 325 lb. capacity. Width and angle adjustable flip-up armrests make transfers easier and allow fine-tuning the riding position. EZ Connect magnetic charging connects the charger without fumbling for a port, and the off-board charger means you can charge without leaving the scooter plugged in at the wall. About the seat and suspension →
The standard 12 Ah 24V lithium-ion battery weighs just 7 lbs. and is airline-compliant, making the XL+ a viable travel companion without needing to check a heavy battery. Standard range is up to 9.2 miles on a charge, measured at 200 lbs. on a flat surface — expect somewhat less with heavier riders or varied terrain. An extended battery option brings the range up to 18 miles for users with longer daily routes. The scooter disassembles into five pieces without tools. The heaviest piece is the front body at 42.5 lbs., the rear body is 28 lbs., the seat with arms is 16 lbs., and the battery is 7 lbs. The front basket includes a carry handle and a drink holder as standard. About the battery and range →
The Buzzaround XL+ carries a lifetime limited warranty on the frame, a 2-year warranty on the drive train, a 2-year warranty on electronics (excluding battery), and a 1-year warranty on the battery. A 1-year in-home labor warranty is included at no charge.

Common questions we hear from customers considering the Buzzaround XL+ at Broadway Home Medical.
MicroTurn™ is Golden's front wheel geometry system that achieves a 39" turning radius on the XL+ — tighter than most three-wheel scooters. Standard four-wheel scooters typically need 44–50" to complete a turn, which makes them difficult in narrow store aisles, hallways, and doorways. The XL+ achieves the stability of four-wheel contact without the wide sweep, making it practical for both indoor and outdoor use without compromise.
The XL+ comes with Velvet Red shrouds installed and a Coastal Blue set included in the box — both are included standard with every unit. The color-through shroud design means there's no paint to scratch or chip. Switching between the two sets takes a few minutes without tools.
The XL+ has LED side accent lighting built into the body of the scooter with over 60 color configurations accessible through the full-color console. Front and rear LED headlights are also included as standard. The accent lighting is a personalization feature — it doesn't affect function or range — but it's an unusual standard inclusion at this price point.
The standard 12 Ah lithium battery provides up to 9.2 miles per charge, measured at 200 lbs. on a flat surface. An extended battery option increases range to up to 18 miles. Actual range varies with rider weight, terrain, and battery condition. The standard battery weighs 7 lbs. and is airline-compliant for commercial travel.
The XL+ disassembles into five pieces without tools. The heaviest piece is the front body at 42.5 lbs., the rear body is 28 lbs., the seat with arms is 16 lbs., and the battery is 7 lbs. The pieces fit in most car trunks or behind rear seats without a vehicle lift or ramp.
Yes — the XL+ has both front and rear suspension, which is uncommon for a travel scooter in this size and weight class. The practical benefit is a smoother ride over sidewalk seams, parking lot transitions, and uneven outdoor surfaces. Combined with the 3.5" ground clearance, it handles real-world terrain better than most compact travel scooters.
The tiller includes a full-color LED console with speedometer and battery meter, USB-A and USB-C charging ports, a phone holder, and the EZ Connect magnetic charging port. The EZ Pivot tiller adjusts angle by hand or by foot — useful for users who find it difficult to bend down to reach a tiller adjustment knob. The off-board charger means the scooter doesn't need to remain tethered to the wall while charging.
