Hi there my mobility is deteriating quicker than I had  hoped unable to drive anymore feeling very isolated and lonely which is affecting my mental health and general well being. I've looked for a mobility scooter one of the bigger ones and quoted £4.000 and to my disbelief horror and could not get my head around
Is your mobility content of your benefit will give you a brand new £30.000 car every three years but you can not use it for something as important as a scooter if anyone can help me with some advice on this please as getting very frustrated and desperate now as looking second hand is only the little one that you put in the boot of the car the one I want is brand new just wanted to know if anyone knows of a shop that do do them on motability very kind regards and thank you in advance for any help you can offer

Hi @bikebuilder18

You can get a scooter under the Motability Scheme providing you haven't already signed up with them for a car: https://www.motability.co.uk/scooter-campaign-landing/

You may also find this DLF information on choosing a mobility scooter of interest  https://www.dlf.org.uk/factsheets/scooter , it includes options for obtaining a scooter.

If you decide that it may be appropriate for you to try to fund a scooter via a charitable grant the 'grant search tool' on the scope website may assist you in identifying a potential funder: https://www.dlf.org.uk/factsheets/scooter
