4 MPH Mobility Scooter

A mobility scooter with a speed of 4 mph is a great option for local shopping trips. Mobility scooters are legal to be driven on pavements with speeds up to 4 mph but not on roads. Anything faster, you'll require a class 3 invalid carriage that must be registered with the DVLA.

Generally speaking, these types of scooters are designed for outdoor use and their big wheels let them easily scale the curbs and other obstacles.

Easy to Manoeuvre

A 4 mph scooter is a great option when you are looking for an easy-to-use scooter to maneuver around the busy areas. These scooters come with an incredibly compact frame and smaller wheels that makes them more maneuverable. They also have a bigger turning radius to help you maneuver around obstacles and parking spaces without breaking a sweat. The smaller wheels of a 4 mph mobility scooter can help you navigate uneven surfaces.

Choose from a variety of models that can be driven on pavements or in pedestrian zones. Mini and midi scooters are ideal for small trips and shopping. You can even get a full size scooter that can travel for miles on a single charge, if you're looking for something more robust for long walks and day excursions.

The incline rating of mobility scooters is another important aspect to be considered. The higher the incline rating, the more power the scooter will be able to provide to climb steep inclines. This is particularly helpful for those who reside in an area that has many hills or if you intend to use your scooter for trips outdoors. Check the motor, tires and other mechanical components of your scooter frequently to ensure that it is operating at its best.

A high-quality mobility scooter will have an ergonomic seat that can be adjusted to the requirements of the user. It should be quiet, to reduce the noise produced when you travel. A good scooter should come with a long-lasting battery in order to avoid running out of power during your trip.

If you're just beginning to explore the scooter world it can be difficult to decide which model is the right one for you. Begin with a 4-mph scooter on pavement. It offers the same level of comfort as the car boot model but it comes with a larger frame and stronger batteries than an all-terrain 8mph model. This kind of scooter could be a great way to gain independence and have a full social life without relying on others to get around.

Comfortable

Many of the scooters in this range have seats that can be adjusted making them ideal for those with limited mobility who want a more comfortable ride. Some scooters have delta handlebars that are easy to maneuver for those with weaker hands. There are a range of sizes, from mini and midi mobility scooters which can fit into your car boot up to full size scooters with speeds of 4mph that can be driven on the pedestrian and Pavement scooters mobility areas.

As you can see from the picture below, our complete range of scooters are all fitted with a number of essential features that increase security and comfort for the user. For example an alarm for theft prevention provides security and peace of mind should you are forced to leave your scooter at home for any reason. Adjustable armrests and seats allow you to personalize your ride, while storage bins add practicality to the scooter.

Another useful feature is the speed limiter. This allows you to decrease your top speed, which reduces the risk of collisions with pedestrians and other vehicles. Although the most powerful scooters reach speeds of up to 14 mph it is important to stay within the speed limits. Only use them at the maximum speed in open, safe areas.

Lastly, it's important to keep your scooter well maintained to maximize its performance and longevity. Keeping the battery fully charged, avoiding excessive use during bad weather conditions (and taking extra care to slow down and be cautious on slippery surfaces), and using a weather cover when not in use will aid in keeping your mobility scooter in good condition for years to come.

It is also essential to test your brakes regularly particularly when driving at high speeds. You can do this by pressing the brake when the scooter is moving, and then watching the time it takes to stop. If you notice any signs that your brakes aren't functioning as they should, it is essential to fix or replace them right away for your own safety and convenience.

Easy to store

The storage of your mobility scooter needs to be done in a safe and secure area. This will keep your vehicle in good shape and ready to use whenever you require it. It is also crucial to ensure that the battery is charged during storage, as it will decrease in capacity over time if it's not charged properly.

Some mobility scooters are equipped with storage capacity which can be extremely convenient. If your scooter doesn't come with this option, you can also add an extra liner pouch or basket as an accessory. Some scooters come with a cupholder which is very useful for those who wish to keep water or snacks close to hand while driving.

Before storing the scooter, it is recommended that all loose and unused parts be removed. It is recommended to put them away until you require them. They can get damaged or even fall off during storage and become lost. This will make it much easier to store and transport your scooter. It also helps to prevent any damage.

It is crucial to keep your mobility scooter in a dry area and avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures. Exposure to these conditions can cause damage to the battery as well as the motor. It is also crucial to check and clean the battery as it can be prone to corrosion if not cleaned correctly.

Most manufacturers and retailers offer regular servicing. This is beneficial for your health as well as the health of your scooter, therefore it is recommended to make sure that you're booking these services as per the instructions of the seller or manufacturer.

You might also wish to be aware that you can buy additional equipment, such as a headrest or a phone holder for your mobility scooter. Do not add too much weight as it will affect the performance of your scooter. Excess weight will require the scooter to work harder, which can decrease its lifespan and alter performance.

Ideal for indoor use

Mobility scooters are an excellent way to travel and gain independence in modern times. If you're in search of an everyday scooter or a model for use on more challenging terrain, Rehabmart stocks a great range of high-quality scooters that are suitable for outdoor and indoor use. With features such as headlights, indicator lights, horns and rear reflectors, these machines are designed to protect you while on the go.

The best scooter for you will depend on your needs and priorities. If speed is a major factor for you, then you can select a motorized scooter that reaches speeds of up to 18 mph. This will provide the fastest mode of transport. If on the other hand, you'd like a scooter that is able to go longer distances without to recharge, you could select models with a long range that come with a battery lifespan of up to 30 miles.

The capacity of your scooter's weight is another factor to consider. If you're a bariatric, it is recommended to select a more robust scooter that can accommodate more weight and negotiate more difficult terrain. Heavy-duty scooters usually come with wider wheel bases and sturdy tires that enable them to overcome obstacles like curbs and steep hills.

Another important aspect to consider is the design of your mobility scooter, which will depend on what type of environment you'll be operating it in. For example, if you're going to be using it in a city it is possible to choose three-wheel models with a small base and a tight turning radius, which makes them ideal for maneuvering in narrow spaces. Contrarily a four-wheeler with a bigger base and wide-track tires is more suited for off-road conditions.

If you plan to primarily use your scooter in your home, you can choose one of our highly versatile and comfortable indoor scooters, such as the EV Rider Transport AF auto-folding model. It boasts a stunning top speed of 3.8 MPH and a weight-to-user capacity of 250 pounds, and folds into a compact design that makes it simple to transport and store.
