Mobility Scooters

We sell 3 types of mobility scooters, transportable boot scooters, mid-range 4mph or 6mph mid scooters to larger and 8mph road scooters.

Anyone can use a mobility scooter providing you have trouble walking or you are taking the vehicle to or from maintenance, or are test driving the vehicle before purchasing it.

There is no requirement to take a test before using a mobility scooter, although if you have not driven before, or not driven for a while, we will spend time ensuring you know how to use the scooter in a safe way.

It is cheap to run a mobility scooter, with their biggest cost being charging them, maintenance and insurance, should you go for it. Charging overnight is the best option.

Similar to cars and stairlifts, mobility scooters should be serviced once a year, we will advise you when this is due.

We recommend you charge your scooter after each trip as well as overnight, and to never let the battery get fully discharged. If you are not a regular user, charging it after use or once a month is sufficient.

Any class 3 mobility scooter must be registered with the DVLA, the V55/4 or V55/5 form which is available online must be filled in.

Insurance is not a legal requirement, but we recommend you have it. But don’t worry, we will recommend some companies, you can find deals online or ask your current insurance provider.

As some mobility scooters can be taken on roads, there is a Highway Code based around this issue, provided by the British Healthcare Traders Association.

Only mobility scooters that have full lights and indicators are allowed on the road, and the maximum recommended speed is 6 to 8mph. All road rules should be followed if you take it on the road, such as right of way. Please be aware that a driving licence required for a mobility scooter which travels over 6mph.

You cannot take a mobility scooter on a motorway and if you are driving on a dual carriageway, a flashing orange beacon must be attached and visible to all traffic around you.

When it comes to driving on the pavement, you cannot go faster than 4mph, and any mobility scooter with a 8mph speed should be put into low range. You need to be attentive on pavements, as you are below most pedestrian’s eye level, and pedestrians have right of way. You cannot take mobility scooters or powered wheelchairs on cycle paths that are marked as cycle only.

Parking can vary car park to car park. Make sure to check signs in carparks and other information available, to avoid penalties.

Though there is no legal eyesight requirement for driving mobility scooters, you should be able to read a car registration from a distance of 12.3metres or 40 feet. If you are in accident that was caused by your poor eyesight, you may have to pay compensation.
