Mobility scooters, like cars and lorries, have varying classifications. Most standard mobility scooters are not legally permitted on the road as they have a top speed of 4mph; these are referred to as Class 2. Class 3 mobility scooters can reach speeds of 8mph and can therefore be driven on roads and can have their speed reduced for use in pedestrian areas.

Here's the UK Government definition and classification criteria for Class 3 mobility scooters:

Class 3 are the only types of mobility scooter or powered wheelchair that can be used on the road. They must have the following features:

  • a maximum unladen weight of 150kg (or a maximum unladen weight of 200kg when carrying necessary user equipment, for example, medical supplies)
  • a maximum width of 0.85 metres
  • a device to limit its speed to 4mph
  • a maximum speed of 8mph
  • an efficient braking system
  • front and rear lights and reflectors
  • direction indicators able to operate as a hazard warning signal
  • an audible horn
  • a rear view mirror
  • an amber flashing light if it’s used on a dual carriageway

We have a wide range of class 2 & class 3 scooters available for demonstration and we can offer expert advice to help you choose the right scooter for your needs
