8 MPH Mobility Scooters, January 2010

For the eight mile an hour category we will be focusing on four wheel scooters and we have chosen a few more scooters to compare as this is one of the more popular categories of mobility scooter. We will be trying to represent a good cross section of products from all the most popular manufacturers. From Pride we will include the ever popular Celebrity XL8 and new Colt XL8 that looks to supercede it. From Drive Medical we will include one of the best value road legal scooters on the market; the Mercury Neo, as well as one of the most heavy duty; the Mercury M48 GT. Roma will be represented by the Shoprider Cordoba and the Soprider Cadiz and Days by the Strider in its Midi and Maxi models. From NHC we will include the Freerider Kensington SII and the Aviator S8. Electric Mobility will be represented by the collapsible Rascal Liteway 8 and the Rascal 889. From Sunrise we will include the Sterling Diamond and the Sterling Elite and last but by no means least is TGA who will be represented by the Mystere and the exciting new Vita.

The cheapest price for the Pride Celebrity XL8 was £1,265 from Mobility Zone, bizzarely however you could visit a different website and buy it for £1,350 from the same dealer. The lowest price from the Colt was £1,470 from Easicare Mobility, although Value Mobility's price of £1,495 with the 70amp battery upgrade looks very tempting.
