Types of scooters
A mobility scooter, rather than a powered wheelchair, is probably the right choice 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. We've grouped our disability scooter range into three different categories - small, medium and large, to make sure that you choose the mobility scooter most appropriate to your needs and lifestyle.
SMALL FOLDABLE SCOOTERS
Light and easy to transport, these scooters usually dismantle into a few parts to allow you to stow it in a car boot. You�ll need to make sure that any small scooter you lease can fit easily into your car, and that you, or your carer, are physically able to lift it into the boot easily. These scooters are often made with a lighter frame to make them easier to transport, but this means there is a limit to the amount of passenger weight they can carry and the distance they can travel before the battery needs to be recharged.

MEDIUM / MID SIZE SCOOTERS
Generally sturdier and able to transport more weight than small scooters, medium scooters can travel at speeds of up to 6mph. They are not as easy to fold or dismantle so may be more difficult to transport in a car. Speak to your dealer to find out which models you can dismantle. A Class 3 medium scooter can be used on the road if they are taxed.
Most models will have a greater travel range than small scooters, generally a max of around 20 miles Some have a greater weight capacity, ranging from around 135kg to 150kg (21 to 25 stone), depending on the model Many have a wider turning circle than smaller models

LARGE ROAD LEGAL SCOOTERS
Suitable for longer distances and rougher surfaces, these scooters can carry between 20 to 35 stone in passenger weight. Due to the size of these scooters, you�ll need to have space to store them in a secure, locked area. All Motability large scooters are classified as Class 3 products by the Department for Transport so must have road tax (provided free of charge by the DVLA); this can be arranged for you by your dealer. They can travel up to 8mph on the road (4mph limit on pavements).
