Choosing a mobility scooter can be a big decision but, as an investment into your freedom, you want to make sure you get it right!
If you’re looking for a scooter that offers you all the features, as well as being super lightweight and portable, then look no further.
Here we will delve into 2 different vehicles, so you can decide which would best suit your lifestyle.
Drive AstroLite
- Super lightweight
- Adjustable and customisable to suit you
- Exceptional safety features
- Maximum range of 6.8 miles
- Onboard and offboard charging capabilities
- Maximum weight capacity of 120kg
- Top speed of 4mph
This lightweight, smooth scooter boasts comfort and convenience! It’s super easy to transport, with the heaviest part being under 10kg, so if you’re searching for something portable and car friendly, this is a great option.
Safety is important, and with the Drive’s removable seat and armrests, you don’t have to compromise adaptability for security. Its front impact bar protects the shroud during impacts, and also acts as a handle for easy manoeuvring in and out of car boots. Added safety features include puncture proof tyres and rear anti-tip wheels, so you can feel at ease while travelling.
While its maximum range is only 6.8 miles, it’s the perfect scooter if you’re looking for trips around the shops made easier, or if you want to get around your local area. The Drive AstroLite also has onboard and offboard charging sockets and comes with batteries included (one of which is airline friendly).
OneRehab Illusion
- Easy assembly
- Great safety features
- Maximum range of 30 miles
- All-round suspension
- Maximum weight capacity of 115kg
- Top speed of 4mph
A similar option is the OneRehab Illusion mobility scooter which, again, is super lightweight and can be easily assembled for transporting. This vehicle is also safety-first, with a secure-grip delta handlebar for full control over manoeuvres. Its front and rear suspension also makes for a comfortable, smooth journey.
However, although the Illusion has a longer maximum range of up to 30 miles, it has the same speed as the Drive AstroLite of 4mph. It’s total weight without batteries is also slightly heavier, so if your lifestyle requires carrying your scooter round with you, this might be something to consider. The maximum weight capacity of the OneRehab Illusion mobility scooter is 115kg compared to the AstroLite’s 120kg. These are all things to consider when looking to invest in your new scooter.
Taking the above into account, these are both great mobility scooter options, depending on your lifestyle and requirements.
