Looking to buy a new Mobility Scooter and don't want to buy a lemon. Are Green Power or Veleco any good, Three or four wheel, what's best, am gonna want a one charge to last me a week , or two if possible, and maybe 20 or up range would do me. Also one that could manage the odd english town roadside curd (for those idiots that don't watch were the park and block access) an alarm and the Usual stuff, am like many on a budget, pension and pip, well I'm 70 in three weeks, but, I also want solid tyres. Can't afford a blow out at my age, 😎 so info pleas

    Hey there @MikeyC123 and a warm welcome to the community. 😁

    I'm afraid I don't know a huge amount about mobility scooters, but what I've done is to rename this discussion and move it to the transport and travel category. Hopefully this will help more people in the know see your discussion and leap in to offer some top advice. I hope that's ok? 😊

    Hi Mickey, I can thoroughly recommend a TGA, Breeze S4 or S3. They are class 3 scooters that can travel on the road. The smaller batteries give 20 miles, the big 2x75amp batteries give 30 miles (depends how much 8mph you do on a charge, those figures would be if you stick to 4mph in my opinion).

    I have an S4 that I bought second hand from Mobility Giant. I would get the three wheeled S3 next time, as much reduced turning circle.

    They are both very stable, I go off road on mine, and even over a cattle grid!

    I would avoid anything cheap. I think they will disappoint.
