Mobility Scooter FAQs: Your Questions Answered
Choosing the right mobility scooter is an important decision. At TMS Mobility, we understand that you may have questions before committing to a purchase. With over 25 years of experience in the mobility sector, our team is here to help you make a confident, informed choice.
What type of mobility scooter is best for me?
The best mobility scooter depends on how and where you plan to use it. A lightweight portable scooter may be ideal for short trips, shopping, and transport in a car, while a larger 6mph or 8mph model may be more suitable for longer journeys and regular outdoor use. Browse our full mobility scooter range to explore your options.
Can I try a mobility scooter before buying?
The best mobility scooter depends on how and where you plan to use it. A lightweight portable scooter may be ideal for short trips, shopping, and transport in a car, while a larger 6mph or 8mph model may be more suitable for longer journeys and regular outdoor use. Browse our full mobility scooter range to explore your options.
What is the difference between a 4mph and a 6/8mph scooter?
A 4mph mobility scooter is generally designed for pavement use and everyday local journeys. A 6mph or 8mph scooter is typically larger and more powerful, making it better suited to longer trips and more regular outdoor travel.
Are portable mobility scooters easy to transport?
Many portable scooters are designed to be lightweight, compact, and easier to dismantle for transport. They are a practical choice if you need a scooter that fits into a car boot or can be stored in a smaller space. Take a look at our available scooters to find a model that suits your lifestyle.
What should I consider before choosing a mobility scooter?
It is worth considering where you will use it, how far you need to travel, your comfort needs, storage space, battery range, ease of use, and whether you need a model that can be transported in a vehicle. Our team is happy to walk you through each of these factors during a personalised consultation.
Do mobility scooters need servicing?
Yes. Regular servicing helps keep your mobility scooter safe, reliable, and performing as it should. It can also help identify wear and tear before it becomes a more significant issue. TMS Mobility provides servicing and repairs across all makes and models.
How far can a mobility scooter travel on a single charge?
Battery range varies depending on the model, terrain, and rider weight. Most scooters offer a range of between 8 and 25 miles per charge. Our team will help you identify a model with a battery range that suits your typical journey distances.
Can mobility scooters be used in shops and indoor spaces?
Smaller 4mph scooters are generally suitable for indoor use and navigating shops, as they are more compact and easier to manoeuvre. Larger outdoor models may not be appropriate for tight indoor spaces. Visit our showroom to see how different models handle in practice.
Do I need a licence to ride a mobility scooter?
No driving licence is required to use a Class 2 mobility scooter (4mph, pavement use). Class 3 scooters (6mph and above) are permitted on roads but must be registered with the DVLA. Our team can advise you on the relevant regulations during your consultation.
What happens if my scooter breaks down?
TMS Mobility provides repair and servicing support for all makes and models, not just those we supply. If your scooter develops a fault, contact us and our experienced engineers will work to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
Can TMS Mobility come to my home for an assessment?
Yes. If you are unable to visit our showroom, we can arrange a home visit to assess your environment and recommend the most suitable scooter for your needs. Get in touch to book an appointment.
Are your mobility scooters covered by a warranty?
