We select the UK's most popular mobility scooters to test out and review, and have consulted mobility charities and Which? members on the most important aspects to test.
We evaluate Class 2 and Class 3 scooters slightly differently, as portability is more important for Class 2 pavement and folding mobility scooters, whereas a smooth ride on outdoor surfaces is more important for Class 3 road and off-road scooters.
We regularly revisit the mobility scooters on sale to see if there are any more popular models that need testing, and when we find them we do. We pay for every mobility scooter we test.
Find out more about how Which? is not influenced by product manufacturers or retailers, and how your support helps us to stay editorially independent .
We collapse and assemble all of the mobility scooters we test, considering how long it takes, how obviously and easily the different parts fit together, and how easily they fit into the back of a small car for transportation.
We adjust each mobility scooter and consider how easily the seat and armrests can be customised, how straightforward it is to get on and off each scooter, and how easily the scooter's battery can be plugged in for charging.

Getting a mobility scooter entirely free isn't often possible, as the charities and schemes that can help you will likely be unable to pay the entire cost. There are plenty of ways to get help with and minimise the costs, though.
Government grants, tax discounts and assistance from charities are all available to help you finance your mobility scooter. Below are the four main options:
Although the NHS can provide wheelchairs to those who need them, it typically doesn't stock or provide mobility scooters. If you need help with financing your purchase of a mobility scooter, the NHS will likely point you in the direction of the Motability scheme.
The not-for-profit Motability scheme allows people receiving the government’s Disability Living Allowance (DLA) or Personal Independence Payment (PIP) to lease a mobility scooter or car.
You usually lease your Motability scooter for three years. Here are five things you need to know about the scheme:
Lots of mobility shops provide mobility scooter hire schemes, if you search 'mobility scooter near me' online, you should be able to find a company locally that will lease you a scooter for a day, a week or a month.
National businesses you can hire scooters from include Mobility Hire , Mobility Giant , National Mobility Hire and Concord Mobility . You can also ask your local disability living centre about other rental options in your area.
Some big supermarkets, DIY shops, tourist attractions and National Trust properties also have mobility scooters available to use within their premises. If you’d like to hire a mobility scooter for a holiday, ask the company if it can arrange for scooters to be delivered to destinations in the UK and abroad.
Important things to think about when hiring a mobility scooter include:

Buying a second-hand mobility scooter can be a much more cost-effective way of acquiring one, but there are some extra checks you should do to ensure you won't have any regrets down the line.
If your mobility scooter needs repairing or needs a part replaced, many second-hand mobility scooter retailers also stock replacement parts and will be able to service your mobility scooter for a fee – a little bit like getting your car sorted for its MOT.
If you already have a mobility scooter and are in the market for a new one, second-hand mobility scooter retailers will likely buy your old one from you or part exchange it for a new one. Search 'Who buys used mobility scooters near me?' online to find the nearest retailers.
