FAQs and Useful Details

The following are some frequently asked questions about electric mobility scooters and the service we provide:

What is the best electric mobility scooter?

Different people have different requirements, so the best mobility scooter is the one that best suits your needs. If you still drive, or you have friends and family who do, you may wish to have a portable mobility scooter – that will fit into a car boot. Alternatively, if space is no concern and you will be using your scooter to navigate very rough terrain, a heavy-duty off-road mobility scooter is better.

How can I get a free mobility scooter in the UK?

You can use government payments for your scooter. If you receive a mobility allowance you can make use of the Motability scheme to arrange an all-inclusive lease for your electric mobility scooter. The scheme allows you to have a simple and easy plan that automatically takes payments directly from the allowance. For more information please visit the Motability website.

How much does it cost to run a mobility scooter?

Barely anything. The batteries in the scooter will usually make use of lithium-ion technology, which charge very quickly without using huge amounts of power. An overnight charge is likely to cost pennies.

What can go wrong with a mobility scooter?

While a durable electric mobility scooter can withstand consistent use, faults can occur over time. Common problems include issues with the tyres, which can occur when riding the scooter on unsuitable surfaces. Other issues include batteries, which may wear out over time. Problems with electrical components within the scooter may also be a problem, but this is less of an issue with a well-built scooter.

Is a 4-wheel scooter better than a 3-wheel scooter?

Not necessarily. 3-wheel scooters provide a lighter option for scooter users, this means 3-wheel designs are easier to transport. 4-wheeled designs offer a sturdier, more durable riding experience and are appropriate for difficult terrain.

Do you need insurance for a mobility scooter?

No, there is no legal requirement to have insurance for an electric mobility scooter. However, it can be a wise choice in case of accidents or theft.

How long will a mobility scooter last?

There are a variety of factors that will affect how long an electric mobility scooter will last. These include:

• manufacturing-quality
• level of use
• conditions of storage
• accidents
• wear and tear

Careful users who ride their scooter less frequently and store it appropriately may find their scooter lasts for a very long time, however on average a lifecycle for a mobility scooter with regular use is approximately 3 years.

Can mobility scooters go uphill?

Most scooters are capable of navigating small and medium-sized gradients quite capably. However, very steep streets will mean the scooter will require a lot of power to carry the weight of the rider up the hill. This can drain the battery and potentially wear it out over time.

Will rain ruin a mobility scooter?

Rain can damage mobility scooters, particularly if it is heavy. There is a range of protectors and covers available that are useful accessories. Some scooters also have built-in coverings that can protect the scooter and rider from rain.

Are all mobility scooter batteries the same?

No. Some scooter batteries are more powerful than others, this is why some scooters are faster. Bigger and more powerful scooters have better battery performance, but they will slowly lose their ability to charge at the same rate.
