Get out and about in comfort using our mobility scooters
Mobility scooters really do improve your quality of life by giving you the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others for assistance or transportation. Today’s mobility scooters are far removed from the limited options available a few years ago. Mobility scooters now come in many different styles and colours to choose from. The sophistication of the batteries in mobility scooters has also evolved, adding up to an increasingly long range from a single charge.
It's important to consider your intended use, frequency of travel, and preferred trip lengths when selecting a mobility scooter for sale. Is it necessary for your scooter to be foldable in order to fit in your car's boot? How far must you go before wearing any sort of safety equipment? Remember, you'll be outside in all types of weather. Please get in touch with us before making a purchase if you have any questions or require expert help and guidance, whether it's to chat about the maintenance of your mobility scooter or to negotiate the delivery.
We offer small, medium, and big sizes for sale
Small Mobility Scooters
Small mobility scooters are lightweight, transportable motor vehicles that have been designed especially for those who find it difficult to stand or walk for longer periods of time and for those who wish to keep their independence and have the unhindered ability to roam around in their community frequently.
Small mobility scooters frequently include a comfortable seat, three or four wheels, and a tiller or handlebar for handling. Depending on the model, they may go at speeds of 4 to 8 mph. They are battery-powered. Most models can go between 10 and 20 miles on a single charge, which makes them perfect for running errands and making short journeys.
The portability of compact mobility scooters is one of their advantages. Many types are excellent for travel since they are simple to disassemble and fit in a car's boot.
Medium Mobility Scooters
Medium mobility scooters frequently have four wheels, a larger, more comfortable seat, and a stronger foundation for improved stability. Their top speed ranges from 6 to 10 mph. You can often get up to 25 miles on a single charge, and they are easier to use on uneven ground as they are more stable. They also provide extra options and features, such as headlights, turn signals, and suspension, to improve safety and comfort.
Large Mobility Scooters
Large mobility scooters are powerful automobiles made for those with severe mobility issues. They provide consumers with a cosy and secure means of transportation while being built to bear more weight.
Having four wheels, a strong frame, and a larger, more comfortable seat are appealing features of large mobility scooters. They are great for longer journeys, having a range of up to 30 miles and a top speed of 10 to 15 mph.
The fact that the larger mobility scooters can support users weighing 500 pounds or more is one of their key advantages. They are suited for rocky terrain and uneven surfaces since they also feature bigger tyres, stronger suspension, and more ground clearance.

FAQ’s About Mobility Scooters
Q: What is a mobility scooter?
A: A mobility scooter is an electric-powered personal mobility device designed to assist individuals who have difficulty walking or moving around due to physical disabilities, age-related issues, or medical conditions. It typically features a comfortable seat, handlebars for steering, and a platform for the feet, with controls for speed and direction. Adult mobility scooters are often used both indoors and outdoors, providing increased independence and ease of movement for those with limited mobility.
Q: How do mobility scooters operate?
A: Rechargeable batteries power the electric motors that propel mobility scooters. They normally operate with a joystick or control panel and contain handlebars, a seat, and a platform for the feet.
Q: What mobility scooter should I select for myself?
A: Your individual demands, your mobility restrictions, and your budget all play a role in selecting the best mobility scooter.
Q: Is a driving licence required?
A: No, a driver licence is not necessary, as mobility scooters are not motor vehicles. They are classified as 'invalid carriages’.
Q: Can I use my mobility scooter on public transport?
A: Yes, most public transport within the UK allows for mobility scooters to be used on them; however, it is always worth asking the relevant parties prior to any journey you wish to make.
Q: Can a mobility scooter be used inside?
A: Yes, mobility scooters may be used indoors; however, it's essential to ensure that there is adequate room for safe mobility and that the atmosphere is appropriate for the scooter.
Q: How should I maintain my mobility scooter?
A: To guarantee the safe and dependable operation of your mobility scooter, routine maintenance is necessary. This can involve maintaining the scooter's cleanliness, storing it appropriately, and doing regular brake, tyre, and battery inspections. Following the manufacturer's maintenance recommendations is essential, as is having the scooter serviced by a qualified mechanic if necessary.
Q: Do you need a blue badge for a mobility scooter?
A: No, you do not need a blue badge to use a mobility scooter, but you may be eligible for one if you have a physical disability or health condition that makes it difficult for you to walk. A blue badge allows you to park in or nearby designated disabled parking spaces, which can make it much easier to get around, especially if you have a long distance to travel or are carrying heavy shopping bags.
Q: How much does a good mobility scooter cost?
A: The price of a good mobility scooter can vary widely, ranging from around £500 to £5000 or more. The average price for quality mobility scooters is around £800. The cost will depend on several factors, including the type of scooter (three-wheel or four-wheel), the features it has (such as folding ability, seat height adjustment, and electric brakes), and the brand. Before you purchase one of our mobility scooters, we recommend checking out the reviews to make sure you get the best for your needs.
Q: Will the NHS pay for a mobility scooter?
A: The NHS does not usually provide mobility scooters directly, as they are expensive and have limited availability. However, there are a few schemes that may be able to help you get a mobility scooter, depending on your circumstances.
Motability is a government-backed scheme that allows you to trade in your car to get a mobility scooter, powered wheelchair, or other mobility equipment. You can also use your Motability car to get a wheelchair-adapted vehicle.
Access to Work is a government scheme that helps disabled people who are in paid work get the support they need to do their job. This may include funding for a mobility scooter, if it is necessary for you to get to and from work.
Social services may also be able to help you get a mobility scooter if you have a financial or care needs assessment and are found to be eligible.
If you are not eligible for any of these schemes, you will need to buy a mobility scooter yourself.
Q: Do I need to insure my mobility scooter?
A: No, you are not legally required to have insurance for your mobility scooter in the UK. However, it is highly recommended, as it can help to protect you from financial loss if you are involved in an accident or your scooter is stolen. Insurance can also cover the cost of repairs to your scooter if it is damaged in an accident.
The type of insurance you need will depend on your individual needs and circumstances. However, basic insurance will usually cover third-party liability, which means that you will be protected if you cause damage to someone else's property or injure someone with your scooter. You may also want to consider additional coverage, such as personal accident insurance or theft insurance.
Insurance for mobility scooters is relatively affordable, and it can be a worthwhile investment to protect yourself from unexpected costs.
Q: Do mobility scooters use much electricity?
A: Mobility scooters generally consume a moderate amount of electricity, typically ranging from 100 to 500 watts per hour. The actual electricity usage depends on several factors, including the scooter's weight, speed, and terrain. Generally, heavier scooters and those travelling at higher speeds will consume more electricity. Additionally, driving on rough or hilly terrain will also increase the energy expenditure.
On average, a mobility scooter typically uses around 0.5 kWh to 2 kWh per hour. This means that a standard scooter could run for 2 to 4 hours on a full charge. However, this range can vary depending on the scooter's specific specifications and driving conditions.
Q: Can you drive a mobility scooter without a disability?
A: In the UK, individuals can generally operate a mobility scooter without a disability as long as they meet certain criteria and have the appropriate license. Mobility scooters fall under the category of "invalid carriages" according to UK law, and individuals without disabilities can use them if they are aged 14 or over, and the scooter is limited to a maximum speed of 4mph (6 km/h) on pavements or 8mph (12 km/h) on other roads. However, it's important to note that individuals who do not have disabilities but use mobility scooters must adhere to the same rules and regulations as those with disabilities, ensuring they operate the vehicles safely and responsibly.
