Hi, my name is MysterE! I have a question regarding Green Power scooters

Read my first comment. Class 3 scooters (i.e.no driving licence required but road legal) have to be able to do a minimum of 8 and a max of 15. - Think about it, this is in line with electric bicycles and rental 2 wheel scooters. There is no law against a competent person carrying out their own work on an electric vehicle (DVLA classification of class 3 mobility scooter). IT is perfectly legal to remove the 8 mph limit on a class 3 scooter if it has been supplied in such a form. It is NOT legal to mod a class 2 scooter as this will not have the disk brakes, indicators, mirrors and lighting needed for a class 3. Note - is is illegal to use a class 3 scooter on a pavement.

https://www.gov.uk/mobility-scooters-and-powered-wheelchairs-rules

is the government website for the current rules

Please read the rules for yourself to save any confusion

However, when I asked a police officer, the officer did tell me this

If you cause an accident while driving a mobility scooter or powered wheelchair that’s not in a class (when in 15mph mode), you can be given the same penalty as if you were driving a car. You can go to prison, get a driving ban or get an unlimited fine.

He noticed I was under the influence of alcohol so he warned me about having a drink (I had only had a couple so I was ok this time) and riding home, as if over the limit I could be prosecuted for drunk driving, this applies to all classes of mobility scooters

Apart from that I normally use the 4mph restriction switch when I am on the pavement as that is what it is for, all class 3 scooters have this sometimes it is not a switch (low high) but a variable speed control nob (hare and a tortoise pictured),

my scooter has 3 speed settings so use them

While on the road I use 8mph and 15mph and abide by the rules set out by the Gov

I for one am looking into getting insurance as I think it's the sensible thing for me to do due to my scooter being able to do what it can do and me driving it on the road, I have everything else so it just fills all the boxes.

Hi, I'm after a bit of help. I've got a ZT500 purchased October 2024. I can't find any switches apart from the main big white switch. The only blue/white wire I can see goes into a block connector with a green/red wire that has a white wire that appears to already be bridged. Any of you clever people have any ideas?

Hiya guys and girls
