Mobility Scooters - Getting Around With Ease

A mobility scooter can be an excellent method of traveling. It can make going to the shops or visiting your friends a lot easier. You can also gain independence and not rely on family or ride services.

There are a variety of ways to purchase or lease scooters in the UK. These include major high street sellers as well as specialist retailers and online providers.

Class 2

Class 2 mobility scooters are designed for indoor and pavement use, with the maximum speed of 4mph. These scooters are not allowed to be used on roads, but they can be driven onto zebra and pedestrian crossings. You should not get in the path of pedestrians or people pushing prams and pushchairs. No licence is required to drive a Class 2 scooter. However you must have a good vision and be capable of reading a vehicle's registration plate at the distance of 12.3 metres (40 feet).

These scooters are lighter and smaller than other types of scooters for mobility and are usually mobile. They can be dismantled to fit in the car's boot which makes them ideal for long days out and shopping trips. However, they're not as comfortable as larger models and some might have a shorter battery life.

There are a lot of limitations on where you can use the class 2 scooter and certain public transport companies will not allow it on board. Brighton &amp
