13 questions that we are usually asked when choosing between ATTO and ATTO SPORT
What is the main difference between the ATTO model and the ATTO SPORT model?
Well, it depends on what we’re talking about. If we refer to the design, the difference is very clear. The ATTO is white and the ATTO SPORT is gray with red details.
If you look at the details, you will see that the structure is very similar, but there are certain features that show a clear difference between one and the other. For example, if we look at the handlebars, we will see that the ATTO SPORT has leather levers and features a manual brake that is added to the electric release brake (ELB) that it shares with the ATTO.
If we continue with the details, the seat of the ATTO SPORT is made of leather, which makes sitting a bit more comfortable than the ATTO, without being a big difference. Likewise, looking at the front chassis, in the ATTO SPORT we find LED lights that are activated from the handlebar.
In addition, a more visual display including more information, as well as a key ring with a lock, allows the ATTO SPORT to remain off until we unlock it with the remote control itself, thus preventing its operation in the event of any theft. Be careful though! If you have locked your scooter
Finally, and what is one of the most important differences between one and the other, the ATTO mounts narrower solid wheels than those of the ATTO SPORT. The latter has so-called airless NPT tires with shock absorption capacity, which makes the ride smoother and more cushioned.
And now that we have explained a bit about the main differences between one and the other, let’s go to other questions that we should ask ourselves and that are going to help us choose between one or the other MovingLife model.
What is the top speed of the ATTO and the ATTO SPORT?
Both models of reduced mobility scooters have the same maximum speed of 10 km/h. The ATTO reaches that speed through four power levels while the Sport has up to 10 gears.
How long does it take to charge the ATTO and ATTO SPORT battery?
The battery of these scooters makes a full charge in 4 hours. Both models have the same battery so if you are lucky enough to have an ATTO and are thinking of buying the ATTO SPORT model, you can use your spare battery. Last but not least, you should know that the battery is 48 Volts lithium-ion with 5.2Ah.
Can the ATTO and ATTO SPORT be easily folded for transport?
The first thing to remember is that MovingLife created both models in order to have a travel-ready mobility scooter. Travel can be by plane, by train, by boat or by car. So its transportation is very simple.
The way they both fold and unfold is the same. Is it easy or difficult? Well, on the one hand, in just 10 seconds the folding can be done but we are not going to fool you, the first times it will cost you a bit and you will have to learn the process. Once you memorize it, you will see that it is very easy and it will come out mechanically. We show you a video of the folding and unfolding of the ATTO SPORT for you to see.
What is the maximum weight capacity that ATTO and ATTO SPORT can support?
ATTO and ATTO SPORT users must have a maximum weight of 120 kilos. If you were heavier and you don’t want to want to buy a scooter like the ATTO SPORT, we have good news, its bigger brother, the ATTO SPORT MAX can hold up to 130 kilos. We will make a post about this model. Do not worry. But in the meantime, you can see it in the link that we have just left you in the name of the MAX model.
What is the battery life of ATTO and ATTO SPORT?
As we have said before, the battery of both is the same, so their autonomy is too. The maximum route indicated by the Israeli manufacturer of both models is 16 kilometers.
What is the weight and what are the dimensions of the ATTO and the ATTO SPORT? Surprise!
The total weight of both mobility scooter models is 28.2 kilos and if we add the battery, we go to just 30 kilos. But here comes one of the greatest advantages of these scooters and that is that, in addition to being foldable, it is also removable and can be divided into two.
Therefore, if we split the body of the ATTO or the ATTO SPORT in two, we get that the weights of both parts are 17.5 kilos at the rear and 12.5 kilos at the front. Do you understand why it is made to travel? Exactly, because once you divide it in two, you can lift it more easily to put it in the trunk of your car, in the trunk of the train… or even in the trunk of the plane. Remember that there are airlines that allow you to travel with ATTO and ATTO SPORT in the cabin. This is awesome!
As for the dimensions, in split mode they have a height of 28″/ 71 cm, a length of 15.3″/ 38.9 cm and a width of 16.5″/ 41.9 cm and in the mode of driving height is 35″/ 89 cm, length 47″/ 120 cm and width 22″/ 56 cm.

It’s not that you can, it’s that you’re fully prepared for it.

This mode allows you to navigate the airport, the platform or the street as if your scooter were a suitcase. Once on the plane, we fold the handlebar and kindly ask the flight attendant to put it in the trunk for us. Remember that before traveling, it is important to ask the airline if they they let us bring with the scooter with us in the cabin.
What is the ATTO and ATTO SPORT warranty?
Both have a three-year guarantee for which we are responsible, since we are sole distributors in Spain. In addition, the Israeli manufacturer Movinglife offers a one-year warranty on its battery, twice the warranty time of the usual reduced mobility scooters.
Do the ATTO and ATTO SPORT require any kind of regular maintenance?
The maintenance of a reduced mobility scooter is very important, since due to the very usefulness of the product, its use becomes almost essential. Both the ATTO and the ATTO SPORT come with a special oil that allows us to reduce noise typical of use. In addition, it is important that when folding and unfolding it we do it in a measured and smooth way, without big noises or sudden assemblies. This way we will avoid the fatigue of the union areas.
