To choose the right mobility scooter, consider where you will use it, your storage space, and your comfort requirements. Millercare offers expert guidance across 15 showrooms in the North West, allowing you to try different models. We provide tailored recommendations, VAT relief assistance, and full local servicing and repairs.

The range of a mobility scooter depends on the battery size and the model. Lightweight folding scooters generally have a range of 8 to 12 miles, while larger, more robust models can travel up to 30 miles or more. Factors like terrain, hills, and the weight of the user will also affect the total distance you can travel.

Most mobility scooters are charged by connecting the provided charger to a standard UK mains socket. For convenience, many smaller models allow you to remove the battery pack to charge it inside your home (off-board charging). We recommend charging your scooter after every use and at least once a week if it is not being used regularly.

Ideally, your mobility scooter should be stored in a dry, secure, and sheltered environment, such as a hallway, garage, or specialised scooter store. Keeping it away from extreme cold and damp helps protect the electrical components and battery life. If space is limited, our team can show you folding models that tuck away easily.

Yes, we highly recommend trying a scooter before making a decision. You can visit any of our showrooms in the North West to test various models in a safe, supportive environment. If you find it difficult to get to us, please call our team to discuss arranging a home demonstration.

Yes, we provide expert servicing and repairs for all the mobility scooters we sell. With our dedicated North West service centre and mobile technicians, we ensure your equipment remains safe and reliable, offering a level of local support you won't find with online-only retailers.

We stock second hand mobility scooters, you can check them out in-store or online. Buying a second hand scooter can help you save money. 

At Millercare, we can hire a mobility scooter for you instead of buying it. It is a great way to get temporary mobility support for a short period of time. 

Hiring a scooter can save you money if you do not plan to be using it for over 6 months. You will pay a small weekly fee to rent it out, rather than one large upfront payment. 

Millercare is an accredited Motability dealer. If you receive a qualifying mobility allowance, such as the Higher Rate Mobility Component of DLA or PIP, you can exchange part of it to lease a brand-new scooter. This lease includes insurance, breakdown cover, and all servicing.

No, you do not need a driving licence to operate a mobility scooter in the UK. Because they are designed specifically for disabled people and those with mobility impairments, they are not classified as standard motor vehicles. However, while no test is required, you must be over 14 years old to drive a Class 3 (road-legal) scooter, and we always recommend a quick "test drive" at one of our North West showrooms to ensure you feel confident behind the controls.

You can drive a mobility scooter on the road if it is a Class 3 model. These scooters have a maximum speed of 8mph and must be equipped with lights, indicators, and a horn. Class 2 scooters are restricted to 4mph and are designed for pavement use only, though they can be used on the road if there is no pavement available. If you're unsure which class fits your local routes in the North West, our team can provide a demonstration of the safety features required for road use.

Choosing the right scooter depends on your lifestyle, the terrain you'll be travelling on, and your storage space. We recommend asking yourself: Will I use it mostly for shopping trips, or do I need to travel longer distances on the road? Do I need a lightweight model that fits in a car boot? Our expert team across our 15 showrooms can provide a personal assessment to help you find a model that prioritises your comfort and independence.
