Available types

  • 3-Wheel Power Scooter

    Typically offers a tighter turning radius, making it useful for maneuvering through smaller spaces.

  • 4-Wheel Power Scooter

    Generally provides a more stable base and is often preferred for varied surfaces or longer outings.

Planning for your usual journeys

  • Use, storage and transport

    Think about where you will use the scooter, the space available for storage and whether you need to transport it in a vehicle.

  • Seating and controls

    Compare seating comfort, legroom and controls that are easy to reach and operate.

  • Try different models

    Trying different models can help establish which scooter suits your everyday surroundings.

Battery care and familiarisation

  • Practise the controls

    Practise starting, stopping and turning before heading out independently.

  • Plan for charging

    Plan a suitable charging space and follow the instructions for the battery and charger supplied with your scooter.

  • Allow for changing range

    Actual travel range can vary with hills, weather, load and battery condition, so allow for those factors when planning a journey.
