Why Choose the Sterling S50 Carbon?
The Sterling S50 Carbon is designed for people who want the convenience of a folding mobility scooter without the compromises often associated with lightweight travel models. Its 100% carbon fibre frame keeps weight down to just 13kg without the battery, helping make lifting and transport more manageable while still providing a stable and comfortable ride.
Unlike some folding scooters that can feel too small or designed purely around weight reduction, the S50 Carbon features a larger foot platform, adjustable tiller and supportive seating position to improve comfort during everyday use. Combined with its simple two-fold design and removable lithium battery, it offers a practical balance of portability, comfort and real-world usability.

All-Round Suspension
With the S425’s larger 30cm pneumatic wheels and all-around adjustable suspension system, you’re always ensured of a comfortable ride when navigating over bumpy terrain or tackling those tricky drop-kerbs. Plus with the optional heavy duty rear-suspension kit for the S425 mobility scooter, you’re also able to achieve an even firmer and stiffer ride!
Powerful LED’s to light your way
With advanced LED lighting technology, the lights on the S425 mobility scooter are 400 times more energy efficient than standard bulbs, so not only are you using less battery power on every trip, you also won’t have to worry about changing bulbs either. Powerful and approved for road-use, it won’t just be the S425’s style that attracts attention.
Comfort on every trip
Finding your perfect seating position is a breeze with the easy-to-adjust luxury seating. Adjust the seat height, depth and recline to suit your own unique driving position. The flip-up comfort armrests are also width, angle and depth adjustable – and combined with the seat rotation ensures that transferring in and out of your mobility scooter is effortless.
Intuitive controls
Seeing as you’ll be spending a lot of time behind the controls of your S425, we’ve ensured the delta handle-bar is ergonomic and easily within reach thanks to the infinitely adjustable tiller (the clever design even ensures that the headlight is automatically tilted as the tiller is adjusted). The unique wig-wag control system also allows you to control your mobility scooter by using your fingers or thumb.
