This Express Pro Mobility Scooter review will cover the model’s features, highlights, and performance, helping you decide whether this model should be one of your top contenders. This road legal mobility scooter combines quality and value, resulting in an excellent scooter at an even better price.
The Drive DeVilbiss Difference
Drive DeVilbiss is a well-established name in the medical equipment industry. The company is known for its dedication to improving the quality of life through mobility scooters, powerchairs, wheelchairs, and a wide range of medical products.
With a commitment to continued research and development, the brand combines advanced technology with practical design. The Express Pro is no exception, showcasing the company’s dedication to improving lives through innovative solutions.
Express Pro Highlights and Key Features
Where exactly do the Express Pro’s strengths lie? Let’s take a closer look at the mobility scooter model’s standout features.
Comfort Tailored to Your Needs
The Express Pro offers excellent support and plush comfort with an ergonomically designed seat. The contoured design with adjustable slide feature ensures a comfortable fit for your body shape and size. The padded and angle-adjustable armrests provide additional support. They also flip up for easier transfers.
The height-adjustable headrest offers customised comfort for long journeys, allowing you to maintain good posture and prevent neck strain.
Smooth Travels Over Various Terrains
The mobility scooter’s front suspension absorbs bumps and shocks, ensuring a comfortable ride, even on uneven paths. The suspension system delivers a smooth and enjoyable ride with the help of large, 12.5-inch pneumatic wheels. For those worried about punctures, these tyres can be filled with foam for added peace of mind. However, in our experience punctures are rare with these chunky tyres.
Performance That Packs a Punch
The Express Pro boasts a top speed of 8mph, the maximum legal UK limit for safe road use. The impressive maximum range of up to 28 miles on a single charge (depending on terrain and user weight) lets you explore further afield. Despite its excellent road performance, the Express Pro isn’t a bulky scooter. This means you can navigate smaller and busier paths like pavements relatively easily.
Safety Features at the Forefront
Your safety is paramount, and this Drive DeVilbiss mobility scooter prioritises it with a comprehensive set of features. The anti-rollback system is a lifesaver on inclines, preventing the scooter from rolling backwards unexpectedly. Rear anti-tip wheels provide an additional layer of security if you’re reaching for something, navigating a bump, or going uphill.
Additionally, the all-around LED lighting enhances visibility in low-light conditions, making you more visible to pedestrians and motorists. Twin rearview mirrors keep you aware of your surroundings, allowing you to navigate traffic confidently.
Ergonomic and Effortless Controls
The user-friendly wrap-around delta handlebars offer intuitive control, even for those less familiar with mobility scooters. The controls are laid out well and are easy to use, with clearly marked buttons and a simple tiller angle adjustment mechanism. The tiller itself is also height adjustable to suit user requirements.
Who Is the Express Pro Mobility Scooter a Good Match For?
As a top-performing all-rounder, the Express Pro will appeal to many. If you need a scooter that breezes through shops but equally handles countryside adventures, it ticks both boxes with its impressive terrain grip and front suspension. Its 8 mph top speed and range of 28 miles allow you to tackle longer journeys with confidence.
Ergonomics and support are highlights, making it ideal for those who prioritise comfort. With a weight capacity of 136kg (21 stone), it also accommodates a wide range of body shapes and sizes.
While not a folding portable scooter, the Express Pro is considered compact within its category. It allows for easier manoeuvring in smaller spaces and is more convenient to store at home than other class 3 models.
