Specifications
Nimble enough for narrow aisles, simple enough to pop in the car
If you need a scooter that copes with tight spaces — small shops, cafés, busy hallways — the turning circle matters as much as anything. The Drive DeVilbiss Portable Scooter turns in just 96 cm, so it's easy to manoeuvre where bigger scooters get stuck.
It comes apart into four pieces with no tools, so it fits into most car boots, and it has thoughtful touches like a storage well under the seat, a removable basket and a front bar that doubles as a carry handle. A practical, no-fuss choice for shopping trips and days out.

- Shopping, cafés and trips where you'll go indoors
- Car owners who want a simple take-apart scooter
- Riders up to 18.9 stone (120 kg)
Worth knowing before you buy
This model uses a sealed lead-acid battery, which weighs 9.1 kg — heavier than a lithium battery — and the heaviest piece, the base, is about 24 kg. If that's too much to lift, a lighter lithium-powered portable scooter would suit you better. There's no suspension and the dials are simple analogue ones, so it's best on smooth pavements and indoors rather than rough ground.
Questions customers ask us
How far can I go on a charge?
Up to about 11 miles, depending on the rider, the route and the weather.
Will it fit in my boot?
Drive says it fits most car boots once taken apart; the base is about 103 × 51 × 39 cm. Bring your boot measurements and we'll check with you.
Can I see one before buying?
Yes — please ring before you come in. We don't stock every model, so we'll check for you, and if it isn't in we can usually arrange a demo model or a free home assessment.

More questions about mobility scooters
How much does a mobility scooter cost?
It depends mostly on the type. Small boot scooters that come apart for the car are the most affordable, and larger 8 mph road scooters cost more. Every price is on the product page. If you have a long-term condition, you may be able to buy it VAT-free.
What's the difference between a Class 2 and a Class 3 scooter?
A Class 2 scooter goes up to 4 mph and is for pavements only. A Class 3 scooter goes up to 8 mph, can be used on the road and must be registered with the DVLA, which is free.
Will a mobility scooter fit in my car?
Boot scooters fold or come apart into lighter pieces that fit most car boots. Check the weight of the heaviest piece on the product page, and if lifting is a worry a car hoist can do it for you.
Can I get a mobility scooter through Motability?
Yes. We're Motability approved, so if you receive a qualifying mobility allowance you can use it towards a new scooter or electric wheelchair. Call us and we'll talk you through how it works.
What's included when I buy?
New products come with a 1-year return-to-base warranty, and you can upgrade to labour call-out cover for £55. Delivery to mainland UK is free on the base price, or choose Engineer Delivery (£150, or included where the product says so) and we'll deliver it, assemble it, set it up and show you how to use it.
