I need something to get around like a mobility scooter

Hi @billylloyd666, and welcome to the community.
I can't answer your specific question, I'm afraid, but I'm sure there are others here who will be able to advise you.
Can you perhaps tell us a little more about your situation? Are you receiving benefit, for example, or are you perhaps looking to buy a scooter and want recommendations about which one? Sorry, these may not even be good questions, but the more we know about you the more likely we are to be able to find ways to help you.
Warmest best wishes,
Richard -
