Motability Mobility Scooters

Choosing a Mobility Scooter Through the Motability Scheme

A mobility scooter on the Motability Scheme should fit your daily routine, not just your preferred scooter type. The right choice depends on where you travel, how far you go, how much comfort you need, whether the scooter needs to fit in a car and whether you want a compact pavement model or a larger road-capable scooter.

Motability scooter options may include:

• Car boot mobility scooters for easier transport and storage
• Folding mobility scooters for travel and days out
• Pavement mobility scooters for short local journeys
• Medium mobility scooters for everyday comfort and stability
• Large mobility scooters for longer trips, range and support
• 6–8mph mobility scooters for road-capable travel where suitable
• Off road mobility scooters for stronger outdoor performance

Which Motability Scooter Is Right for You?

Before choosing, think about how the scooter will work in real life. A smaller scooter may be ideal for shopping, appointments, car journeys and easier storage. A larger scooter may be better if you travel longer distances, need a more supportive seat or want more confidence outdoors.

Before ordering, consider:

• How far you usually travel
• Whether the scooter needs to fit in a car
• Whether you need pavement-only or road-ready use
• Seat comfort, suspension and legroom
• Storage and charging space at home
• Whether you need a folding, portable or larger scooter
