Mobility scooters are a vital part of many people’s lives, offering independence and ease of travel. As we roll into 2024, the market is brimming with innovative models catering to various needs and preferences.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking to upgrade your current ride, A6 Mobility Shop has you covered.
Best Folding Mobility Scooter: eFOLDi Lite
If you need a scooter that’s easy to transport, the eFOLDi Lite folding mobility scooter is a strong contender. Weighing only 15 kg (excluding battery), this nimble and compact scooter folds up to the size of a small suitcase. It is fully airline-compliant and can be taken on most forms of public transport.
The eFOLDi Lite features an effortless folding mechanism, allowing you to collapse it in seconds. With its magnesium alloy frame, the scooter is incredibly lightweight yet durable enough to support up to 120 kg.
If you need a compact travel scooter, the innovative eFOLDi Lite is highly recommended.
Best Lightweight Mobility Scooter: Monarch Air
The Monarch Air takes the crown for the best lightweight mobility scooter. Weighing in at just under 15 kg (excluding battery and seat cushion), at the time of writing it’s the world’s lightest 4-wheel scooter. Its single-piece design means there’s no need to disassemble parts like the battery or seat. With its compact size, the Monarch Air is easy to lift in and out of a car.
Like the eFOLDi Lite, the Monarch Air’s premium build quality and magnesium alloy frame make it a robust choice, with a weight capacity of up to 125 kg. Its sturdy 4-wheel design, ample ground clearance, adjustable tiller, and comfortable full-size seat make journeys to the local shops or park comfortable and hassle-free.
If you want an ultra-lightweight and portable scooter without compromising comfort or performance, the Monarch Air is a fantastic choice. For further details, read our review of the Monarch Air.
Best Comfortable Boot Scooter: Pride Apex Rapid ‘Pro’
If your top priority is comfort, Pride’s Apex Rapid boot scooter is specially designed with luxury in mind. This model has been a favourite for years, and for good reason. It boasts all-round CTS suspension (Comfort-Trac Suspension), making it a smooth operator on uneven ground.
This customised ‘Pro’ edition, exclusive to A6 Mobility Shop, adds a suspension seat post for extra comfort, a striking Racing Yellow colourway, and the enhanced battery pack for an extended travel range.
Key convenience features include a wraparound delta tiller with an integrated high-level charging port, LED kerb lights for visibility, and a practical front storage basket. Despite all these add-ons, the Apex Rapid still disassembles into five lightweight pieces to fit into car boots.
For the ultimate combination of comfort, style, and practicality, the Apex Rapid ‘Pro’ is a top contender.
Best Large Boot Scooter: Komfi Rider Marlin
If you need a larger boot scooter that doesn’t compromise on portability, the Komfi Rider Marlin hits the sweet spot. Its aluminium frame and lithium-ion battery make it the lightest mid-size scooter. The Marlin can be fully disassembled in seconds, and lifting it into a car boot is easy.
With its deep foam seat, advanced full front and rear suspension, and large 230 mm wheels, the Marlin delivers a smooth ride over uneven terrain. Its unique shallow floor plate also provides ample legroom, even for taller users.
Designed for total control and stability, the Marlin features adjustable arm widths, a swivel seat, a powerful LED headlight, and an ergonomic handlebar.
If you want the drive quality and comfort of a full-sized scooter combined with the boot space practicality, take a closer look at Komfi Rider’s Marlin model.
Best Long-Range Pavement Scooter: Shoprider Sovereign Plus
For extended pavement journeys, the Shoprider Sovereign Plus is your reliable companion, boasting a top speed of 4 mph and a 20-mile maximum range per charge. This new model for 2024 builds on the popular Sovereign’s legacy, taking comfort to the next level with improved suspension.
What’s more, the new wrap-around handlebars allow for precise steering control, and integrated LED headlights enhance visibility when driving at dusk or night. The redesigned front and rear bumpers protect the scooter from minor knocks and scrapes.
For covering longer distances while remaining stable and consistent, we highly recommend test-driving the Shoprider Sovereign Plus.
Best Road-Legal Mobility Scooter: Pride Colt Sport 2.0
Pride is one of the top names in road-legal class 3 scooters, and their latest 2023 Colt Sport 2.0 model cements their reputation. This fully loaded mobility scooter comes with all-round suspension, including an adjustable suspension seat post, a high-back memory foam captain’s seat, and a sleek, modern design.
With its 8-mph top speed, long travel range, LED lighting, and frosted running lights, the Colt Sport 2.0 allows you to ride confidently along roads and pathways. Moreover, its durable frame can accommodate an impressive 159 kg.
For a road-legal scooter that perfectly balances performance, comfort, and safety, Pride’s new offering is the clear winner. For more information, check out our in-depth Pride Colt Sport 2 review.
Best Large Class 3 Mobility Scooter: Pride Pursuit 2.0
The Pursuit from Pride is already a popular Class 3 model praised for its durable and stable design. But the updated Pursuit 2.0 swaps out lead acid batteries for lighter, longer-lasting lithium batteries. Choose between two battery sizes, the larger one providing up to 40 miles per charge – one of the highest ranges on large road-legal scooters.
This new version sports an updated look with blacked-out wheels, eye-catching contrast stitching on the captain’s seat, and an easy-access USB charger built into the tiller. Its 8-mph top speed and sophisticated suspension deliver an ultra-smooth drive quality across various surfaces.
If you want the power to cover longer trips out and about, paired with excellent comfort, the Pursuit 2.0 ticks all the boxes.
Best Premium Road-Legal Mobility Scooter: Pride Atmos
Sitting proudly atop our list of premium mobility scooters is the Pride Atmos. This unique scooter features advanced steering wheel-like controls. Adjustable in angle and reach, the controls allow you to maintain a comfortable driving position even over long distances.
It can legally drive at 8 mph on roads, with advanced front and rear suspension to ensure smooth and enjoyable trips. The deluxe captain’s seat, adjustable armrests, and large footplate all contribute to its excellent drive quality, perfect for regular long trips.
The Atmos doesn’t just perform beautifully – it looks the part, too. Its sophisticated design features eye-catching and powerful LED lighting, clean lines, and a sporty appearance complemented by large 13’’ wheels.
