Best Large Road Mobility Scooters (Class 3) – Quick Comparison
As the name implies, large mobility scooters can be used on the road providing they are taxed. This can be done for free through the DVLA (more information visit the Gov Website). Road scooters have a much larger weight capacity and can usually carry up to 30 stone, however due to the size of the scooter they are not easy to transport. Large scooters also have a greater range and journeys of up to 30 miles can be achieved before the batteries need to be recharged. As large road scooters do not fold down you’ll need somewhere secure dedicated to storing the scooter, such as a garage or shed.
