By Icon Rehab7 min read

Choosing a mobility scooter can feel overwhelming. This guide breaks it all down so you can confidently pick a scooter that fits your life.

Class 2 vs Class 3 scooters: what's the difference?

Class 2 scooters travel up to 4mph and are designed for pavements. Class 3 scooters reach 8mph, are road-legal, and must have lights and indicators.

Quick comparison

  • Class 2 — up to 4mph, pavement use
  • Class 3 — up to 8mph, road-legal
  • Neither requires a licence or tax

How much range do you really need?

Choose a scooter with a quoted range of at least double your typical round trip.

The best scooter isn't the most powerful one — it's the one you'll actually use every day.
