Mobility Scooters

Which Mobility Scooter is right for me?
Mobility scooters are a popular mode of transport for those wanting to remain independent and have access to their local community.
When a car is no longer an option for transport, Mobility Scooters provide a safe alternative so that you are able to maintain access within your community.
You currently do not require a license to use a Mobility Scooter, but it’s best to check in your local area what rules apply.

Over the past 20 years, technology and safety features have enhanced the user experience of a Mobility Scooter user.

So how do I choose the right Mobility Scooter for me?

Choosing the right size is vital to making the right choice of a Mobility Scooter.

The main categories are:
Large Mobility Scooters
Suitable for taller or heavier users (with weight capacities up to 220kg).

Large scooters typically offer deluxe, soft-riding suspension, extended legroom and more power than standard scooters. They are more capable over uneven terrain, on steep hills and for more robust use over long distances. Top speeds vary up to 15km/h and they offer a maximum range per charge of 40-50km.

Mid Size or Medium sized Mobility Scooters
The most popular size of scooter that is suitable for general outdoor and limited indoor use.

Medium scooters usually have at least 10” pneumatic tyres, suspension, lights for night use and comfortable adjustable seating. Whilst they can still be dismantled they are only suitable for occasional transporting. Top speeds vary up to 12km/h and they offer a maximum range per charge of 25-35km.

Portable Mobility Scooters
Offering maneuverability and convenience, a small scooter is ideal if you want something to get around indoors and need to be able to fit it in the back of your car.

They have a smaller turning circle, which comes in handy navigating around a crowded shopping centre. Most of the models at this size fold-down or are easily dismantled so you can put them in the car. They can also be easier to take on holidays as checked baggage.
Of course a smaller size means smaller battery and less range per charge – only up to 20km. And the small wheels can make these less steady on uneven ground, and they can lack the power needed to get up steep hills.

Features you may find in these models | Easy to disassemble for transport
Small size for maneuvering through crowded areas | Basic suspension for a smooth ride
Removable battery for travel | LED front and rear lights for visibility | Front basket for shopping

Foldable Mobility Scooters
offer independence for individuals who find it difficult to walk for extended periods of time.
Sydney Mobility Scooters offer a wide assortment of mobility scooters, including folding mobility scooters.
Folding scooters are ideal for use indoors and their design means they can be placed in the boot of a standard car, allowing the mobility scooter to be taken where standard mobility scooters may not be able to.

There are many other factors to consider. These include:

Your height and weight | What area do you live in | How far do you want to go
Does it have suspension | How often you intend to use the scooter each day | Will you need to transport the scooter | Where will you store it | Purchase a Second-Hand Mobility Scooter
