I am thinking of buying one. I am fearful of the scooters which have just a stick st the front, would feel vulnerable , the scooters with more metal are so exspensive, perhaps a reputable dealer ?

It’s worth looking at second hand ones as there are a heck of a lot of people like my DM who liked the idea of having one, and then hardly ever used it as she didn’t feel safe on a little car boot one. She traded it in for big one - and wouldn’t use that one either! The mobility company she bought from sold hers on for her all reconditioned and checked over.

This is (I hope!) a link to some second hand mobility scooters that can go in a car boot - they start at £495.

Or you can just google "second hand mobility scooters" and lots of similar sites will pop up.

It is worth looking for a second hand one - they are often on the market.

DH has mobility problems, and the family having broached the subject gingerly of aids, he has decided he would like a mobility boot scooter which we can take in the car and use at our destination. So we went to the local mobility shop where we were shown just one newly in and most expensive and got a take it or leave it attitude. So of course DH left it!
I then phoned Age UK Mobility central number who said they would get someone to contact me. Only it was a man at a company from Guiseley, many many miles from us, who didn't know why I contacted them as they only do stairlifts!
Any advice would be very much appreciated as I am feeling quite frazzled!
