Road Legal 6-8mph Class 3 Mobility Scooters

About

Travel further, go more places and stay independent with Etech Mobility's range of road legal mobility scooters. Built to Class 3 specification, these scooters suit people who want to cover real distances rather than short local trips, with the comfort, stability and equipment needed for confident journeys on both pavements and public roads. What Makes a Mobility Scooter Road Legal? A road legal mobility scooter is a Class 3 vehicle that meets the UK's legal requirements for road use. To qualify, it must travel at no more than 8mph on the road and be limited to 4mph on pavements. It must also be fitted with front and rear lights, reflectors, direction indicators, an audible horn, a rear-view mirror and an efficient braking system. Class 3 scooters must be registered with the DVLA. Registration is free, and they are exempt from vehicle tax. Users must be 14 years of age or older. Should You Choose Class 2 or Class 3? The difference comes down to where you plan to travel. Class 2 scooters are limited to 4mph and are for pavement use only. They tend to be lighter and more compact, which suits shorter local journeys and indoor use. Class 3 scooters reach 8mph and can be used on the road as well as the pavement. They are larger, more powerful and better suited to longer journeys, hillier routes and areas where pavements are limited. If most of your journeys are short trips to nearby shops, a lightweight folding mobility scooter may suit you better. If you want to travel several miles, use quieter roads or ride in the evening, a Class 3 road legal scooter is the right choice. Designed for Comfort Over Longer Distances Longer journeys demand better support. Our road legal scooters feature fully adjustable padded captain's seats with armrests and headrests, giving you proper posture support over extended trips rather than the basic seating found on compact models. Delta tiller steering makes control easier on the wrists and hands, which matters on longer rides and suits use
