Lift and storage guide
The Golden Cricket LT, measured the way you use it.
The Cricket LT is the lightest chair Golden makes. It side folds to a 12 in profile and stays upright on its own wheels, so the real question is not whether it fits your car. It is whether you can lift it. Start with the assembled number.

The number your vehicle cares about
Plan around 31.3 lb assembled.
Golden also publishes 25.8 lb. That is the heaviest single piece once the battery, cushion and drink holder come off, not the weight of the chair you lift in one go. Both numbers are real. They answer different questions.
31.3 lbAssembled chair. The practical starting point for a real lift.
25.8 lbHeaviest single piece, with the battery, cushion and drink holder removed.
iThe standard Cricket GP302 is 39.3 lb assembled. The LT saves you about 8 lb on every lift.
One side fold, still on its wheels
Folds to a 12 in profile without leaving the ground.
The Cricket LT folds side to side and stays standing on its own wheels. That means you can roll it to the car rather than carry it there, and the lift only happens once, at the trunk.
- ✓12 in folded profileNarrow enough for a hallway, a closet or the side of a trunk.
- ✓Stays on its wheelsWheel it to the vehicle instead of carrying it across the parking lot.
- ✓Measure the openingCheck the narrowest part of the trunk or cargo door, not just the space behind it.
One trade to know about
It turns in 29.5 in, not 22 in.
The standard Cricket GP302 turns in 22 in. If tight hallways and bathroom doorways are the hard part of your day, that difference will matter to you more than the 8 lb. Measure your narrowest turn before you choose between the two.
Range and safe transfer
Leave margin, and check both levers.
Golden publishes up to 15 km from the 10Ah battery, at a top speed of 6 km/h. Real range moves with rider weight, hills, surface and temperature. Before getting on or off, make sure both freewheel levers are set to drive, and never sit in the chair in freewheel mode on a slope.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The Cricket LT suits anyone whose deciding number is the lift. At 31.3 lb assembled it is the lightest chair in Golden's folding range, and it side folds to a 12 in profile while staying on its wheels. Plan around a 29.5 in turning radius, which is a wider turn than the standard Cricket GP302.
-
Golden lists 31.3 lb assembled. The 25.8 lb figure is the heaviest single piece once the battery, cushion and drink holder are removed, so it should not be treated as the weight of the complete chair.
-
Golden labels the removable 10Ah 24V lithium-ion battery airline friendly and includes a battery carry bag as standard. The airline makes the final decision on acceptance and handling, so confirm the procedure with your carrier before you travel.
-
The chair is 24 in wide and turns in 29.5 in. Measure the clear width of your narrowest doorway and the space you have to turn in before ordering. If tight indoor turning is the priority, the Cricket GP302 turns in 22 in.
-
Golden publishes up to 15 km from the 10Ah 24V battery, with a top speed of 6 km/h. Real range moves with rider weight, hills, surface, temperature and battery age, so leave margin on any trip you plan.
