Mobility scooters are electric wheeled mobility devices and pedestrian vehicles that can assist users who have reduced mobility with distance mobility and community access (e.g. users who no longer drive but need to access the community).
They are low speed mobility vehicles (limited to a maximum 10kph in Australia) and the rider is considered a pedestrian, therefore pedestrian road rules apply when operating it. They come in different sizes and configurations with models available that are suitable to be ridden indoors or outdoors on footpaths (or the road when a footpath is not available), within shopping centres and residential facilities. Our range of scooters are also available with accessories to suit individual needs, including phone holders, shade cover, carry bags, and walking aid carriers. These products can be used on a short-term basis (e.g. following surgery) or for long-term use (e.g. permanent condition). We carry two brands of scooter – Merits and Shoprider. Both brands are highly reputable and produce good quality scooters. We service and maintain both brands in our in-house Service Centre and are authorised warranty providers for both. As mobility scooters are an electric mobility device, they are considered a complex product due to the safety considerations to operate a scooter. It is therefore very important to consider the needs of the individual and their functional ability to determine if a mobility scooter is a suitable option for the individual. We recommend seeking support from a qualified health professional to support your decision.

There are a number of considerations that apply:
Our range of scooters have different load capacities depending on the model; therefore it is important to always select a product with a safe working load at or above the maximum weight you expect it to carry. It is therefor vital to take into consideration the user's height, weight, and the intended capcity the individual wishes to carry with them e.g. shopping.
A range of models of mobility scooters are available ranging for portable, mid-size, large luxury, 3 wheel, to specialised scooters. Models also vary in size, configuration, degree of portability, speed, range, turning circle, and comfort. It is therefore important to consider the user's needs, height, and weight to ensure the most suitable option is selected, and to determine if a scooter is the right choice for the user.
The user’s needs, goals, level of support required, physical characteristics and health, together with where and how they plan to use their scooter will help determine which scooter is suitable for the individual.
