Accredited Dealer
We are a proud accredited Motability Dealer; the Motability Scheme provides affordable and convenient options for people with disabilities or mobility challenges to lease mobility scooters and powerchairs. Our promise to you is to provide support and guidance to help you choose the best mobility solution for your needs.
What is the Motability Scheme?
Our mobility scooters and powered wheelchairs make a huge difference to your mobility. They are easy to store and charge, and there are lots of options to choose from. We can help you choose which model and make will best suit you and your lifestyle.
If you are eligible for the Motability Scheme, you can exchange your qualifying mobility allowance for one of our selected mobility scooters or powered wheelchairs.
Did you know
Most powered wheelchairs and scooters cost less to lease per week than your mobility allowance. So the rest of your allowance is paid directly to you.
How does the Motability Scheme work?

Type of Mobility Scooters
A mobility scooter is probably the right choice for you if you can travel relatively independently, get on and off the scooter on your own, and are able to use a bicycle-style steering column or tiller.
Disability scooters usually come in three different sizes – small, medium and large. It’s important that you choose the mobility scooter most appropriate to your needs and lifestyle.
