What types of Mobility Scooter are there?
There are three classes of scooter although Gravelles have a wider variety, these include:
Class 2: Portable Scooters and Pavement Scooters. Scooters in this class are to be used on the pavement only and have a maximum speed of 4mph.

Portable Scooters (up to 4 mph) are light and usually easy to dismantle for transportation, such as in the boot of your Car. They are foldable so they can be stored in small spaces and as they are smaller are a little more maneuverable for shops and around the house.

Pavement Scooters (up to 4 mph) are ideal for the more independent user to go down town or around shops on their own. They are called pavement scooters as they are only legally allowed to be driven on pavements or private land. They can be transported as they are generally easy to disassembled. .

Class 3: Luxury Scooters. These scooters may travel on the road and have a maximum speed of 8mph. They may travel on the pavement when fitted with a restrictor switch that limits the speed to 4mph.

Luxury Scooters (up to 8 mph) are legally allowed to be used on the Pavement & Road. They are perfect for longer distances or more rugged terrain. They are usually more power and larger having independent suspension and pneumatic tyres/wheels making them ideal most terrains. As they have lights, indicators and a horn they are legally allowed to be used on the road network.
