Compare Mobility Scooters
Mobility scooters vary enormously — a lightweight travel scooter and a road-legal Class 3 scooter are very different machines with different rules, ranges and capabilities. Choosing well starts with being honest about where you will actually use it.

What to compare
Class 2 scooters
Limited to 4mph and intended for pavements. Usually lighter, more compact and easier to store or transport.
Class 3 scooters
Up to 8mph and road legal in the UK. They must be registered with the DVLA and carry lights, indicators and a horn.
Portable and folding
Designed to be dismantled or folded into a car boot. Convenient, but usually with shorter range and less suspension.
Range and battery
Quoted range is measured under ideal conditions. Hills, weight and cold weather all reduce it in real use.
Who it tends to suit
The right scooter follows from your journeys. Short local trips on pavements point towards a Class 2 or boot-friendly model; longer distances, roads and rougher ground point towards a full-size Class 3 scooter. Storage, charging and whether anyone needs to lift sections into a car are usually the deciding practicalities.
Before you buy, check
- Be realistic about your typical journey length and terrain
- Check kerb climbing ability and ground clearance
- Confirm dismantled weight if you plan to lift sections into a car
- Ask where the scooter will be stored and charged
- Ask about servicing, insurance and breakdown cover
