🔋 How Long Does a Scooter Last?

A well-maintained scooter should last 5 to 8 years or more. Battery life varies based on how often you use it, but most batteries last around 1 to 3 years before needing replacement.

At Active Mobility, we offer full servicing, battery health checks, and support if you ever need repairs.

🧠 What to Think About Before You Buy

Here are a few helpful questions to guide your decision:

• Where will you use it most? Indoors, outdoors, or both?

• Will it need to go in a car boot? Consider portability and weight

• How far do you usually travel? Make sure the battery range fits your routine

• Do you need suspension or larger wheels? These make longer journeys more comfortable

• How much space do you have at home? Measure doorways and storage space
