It looks like Bischoff & Bischoff of Germany have struck at both ends of the mobility scooter spectrum with their new products.

The Orbis, a mobility scooter for use in difficult terrain and curb hopping, and the Agil, a lightweight transportable mobility scooter that can be folded up and tossed in your trunk.

Here’s the scoop on these world-apart scooters.

The Orbis packs four wheel spring suspension and a speed of up to nine miles per hour. Not bad for a street cruiser! The manufacturer claims that it has curb climbing ability and can deal with difficult terrain as well as take 12 degree inclines.

Tossed in for good measure is a horn, light, blinkers, cane holder, and two rear view mirrors. And yes, leather upholstery on the seat. Hey, who would buy a scooter that didn’t have leather upholster?

Here’s the Agil, the lightweight.  Weighing in at around 61 pounds, the Agil folds up to fit in a car trunk. This spidery little scooter can get you around at pinch under 3 mph. Not blazing, but blazing is not what this bantom weight is about.

There are not too many goodies packed into Agil for obvious reasons but you do get an angle adjustable seat and  a small footprint and tight turning radius.
