Frequently Asked Questions

You are not required to pass a test before using a mobility scooter, though if you have not driven before, or not driven for a while, we do spend time ensuring you know how to use the scooter in a safe way.

Any class 3 mobility scooter must be registered with the DVLA, filling in the V55/4 or V55/5 form which is available online.

Insurance is not a legal requirement, but many dealers would recommend you have it. You can ask your dealer about recommendations, find deals online or ask your insurance provider of other values.

As some mobility scooters can be taken on roads, there is a Highway Code based around this issue, provided by the British Healthcare Traders Association.

Only mobility scooters that have full lights and indicators are allowed on the road, and the maximum recommended speed is 6 to 8mph. All road rules should be followed if you take it on the road, such as right of way.
When it comes to driving on the pavement, you cannot go faster than 4mph, and any mobility scooter with a 8mph speed should be put into low range. You need to be attentive on pavements, as you are below most pedestrians eye level, and pedestrians have right of way. You cannot take mobility scooters or powered wheelchairs on cycle paths that are marked as cycle only.
Though there is no legal eyesight requirement for driving mobility scooters, you should be able to read a car registration from a distance of 12.3metres or 40 feet. If you are in accident that was caused by your poor eyesight, you may have to pay compensation.
It is cheap to run a mobility scooter, with their biggest cost being charging them, maintenance and insurance, should you go for it. Charging overnight is the best option, costing around 10p to do so.
Mobility scooters should be serviced once a year, similar to cars.
There are typically two battery types when it comes to mobility scooters; GEL and SLA. These both have strengths depending on how you will be using your scooter. GEL lasts longer, and is often the preferred one, especially if you are using your mobility scooter daily. SLA batteries produce fewer cycles, so are recommended for occasional users, and they are cheaper to run.
Many dealers recommend you charge your scooter after each trip as well as overnight, and to never let the battery get fully discharged. If you are not a regular user, charging it after use or once a month is sufficient.

When engaged, freewheel levers allow your mobility device to be pushed. Your power chair is equipped with two manual freewheel levers, labeled either locked or unlocked.

Whenever you need or want someone to push your device for short distances, it can put into freewheel mode by having a person push the levers into the unlocked position:

  • Have the person who will push the chair to pull up firmly on the manual freewheel levers to disable the drive system and the brake system.
  • He or she may push your power chair.
  • Once done pushing the chair, the person should push down firmly on the manual freewheel levers to the locked position, to reengage the drive system and the brake system.

Direct or prolonged exposure to water or dampness could cause your product to malfunction electronically and mechanically. Water can cause electrical components to corrode and the unit’s frame to rust. Your scooter or power chair should be examined periodically for signs of corrosion caused by water exposure, bodily fluid exposure, or incontinence. Damaged components should be replaced or treated immediately.

If your scooter or power chair comes in contact with water:

  1. Dry your device as thoroughly as possible with a towel.
  2. Allow the product to sit in a warm, dry place for 12 hours to allow unseen water to evaporate.
  3. Check the joystick operation and the brakes before using your device again.
  4. If any inconsistencies are found, take your product to your authorized Pride provider.
  5. Mobility devices that are frequently exposed to sources of water, such as incontinence, should be inspected often for corrosion, and electronic components may need to be replaced frequently.

AGM and Gel-Cell batteries are designed for application in scooters and other mobility devices. These batteries are Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved (United States only), allowing safe transportation on aircraft, buses, and trains, as there is no danger of spillage or leakage. We suggest you contact the carrier’s ticket counter in advance to determine that carrier’s specific requirements.

Folding mobility scooters offer a convenient way to get around town, while also being easy to store and transport. A folding mobility scooter doesn’t need to be a huge expense. We have models available for as little as £1,800.
