Your Questions Answered
Straight answers to the questions people ask us most about pre-owned scooters and wheelchairs.
Are your pre-owned scooters and wheelchairs safe to buy?

Do pre-owned products come with a warranty?
Yes, each one comes with a warranty for peace of mind. The details are on the product page, or just ask us.
Should I buy new or pre-owned?
Pre-owned is a great way to save money if a standard model suits you. If you need a particular size, seat or speed, a new one gives you more choice, and we're happy to compare both with you honestly.
Can I see it or have a test ride first?
Of course. Pre-owned stock sells quickly, so call us on 01789 339 738 first to check it's still here and we'll book you a time to have a look.
