    I have 2 second hand scooters from Mobility Giant.

    The big class 3 scooter developed a fault after a few months, and they honoured the one year warranty without any problem.

    Hi Chris, where are you. Do you have photos and descriptions and do you deliver. Thanks

    I don't sell them, mate, I bought them from Motability Giant in Sevenoaks. They have a detailed website and delivered to me in Angus. I would rather get a good make second hand than waste my money on the likes of Green Power.

    I'd say just do a search for 'Mobility Shops' and your area name.
    Some are based in hospitals, others in town centres.. We have 2 in the local market town on our doorstep.

    You could try requests on sites like Preloved, Freegle & Nextdoor.
    A shop is more likely to know the quality of battery, give a basic service or some basic warranty IE you can come back if probs occur.

    Mobility giant website https://www.mobilitygiant.co.uk

    https://mobilitydirectuk.co.uk/ another site

    Or a search for 'Mobility Scooters online' will bring up stores that deliver.
    If you can get to NAIDEX this year you might be able to make contact with suppliers etc as well.

    Look up Mobility Giant, they are the largest stockist of second hand scooters in the UK, or so their website says.

    I just looked and there is a 2024 class 3 Motion Healthcare Xcite for just over a grand. Sterling are good too, they are made by Sunrise Medical, the makers of Quickie wheelchairs.

    I bought mine via the website, but you can give them a call too. Mine were delivered on a pallet 500 miles away from them.
