Travel knee scooters most commonly use steel, carbon steel, or aluminum frames. Aluminum models tend to be lighter for carrying or packing, while steel and carbon steel emphasize durability. Listed load capacities in the available travel models are typically around 300 pounds, with some models rated up to 350 pounds.

Some travel-oriented knee scooters include detachable baskets or shopping bags to carry personal items while scooting. Models with pneumatic tires may also ship with a hand pump for on-the-go inflation. These accessories are commonly offered to make transporting belongings and basic tire upkeep easier while traveling.
