SPORT RIDER
Keep on Moving
At every stage of life, we need to keep moving. Whether that’s on your own two feet, or on one of our scooters, getting out and about is vital for vitality, liberty, and dignity. We do everything possible to keep you active, mobile, and independent.
The scooter is ideal for all sorts of escapades, including city explorations and walks in the countryside. They’re also very portable, so you’re able to store them in the car when going further afield. The features and portability make them much more preferable than a wheelchair or traditional walking aid.
Types of Scooters
A mobility scooter, rather than a powered wheelchair, is the best choice for those able to travel relatively independently, get on and off the scooter without assistance, and use a bicycle style steering column.
We've sorted our scooter range into three categories - small, medium, and large. This is to ensure that you choose the right product for your needs and lifestyle.
WE OFFER VERY COMPETITIVE PRICING ON ALL MOBILITY SCOOTER REPAIRS & SERVICING. OUR FRIENDLY & FULLY QUALIFIED ENGINEERS ARE ALWAYS HAPPY TO HELP!
