However, in the store we always keep a good selection of scooters of all sizes from leading manufacturers. You are able to try out the scooters in the store and in the safety of the pedestrian marketplace outside.

If you prefer a home demonstration:

We can arrange for a named Motability specialist to visit your home at a convenient time for you.
The specialist will explain the Motability Scheme to you in detail.
You will have the opportunity to ask all the questions you need to about the Scheme and the products that are available.
The specialist will ask you some questions to help understand which scooter or powered wheelchair will best suit your needs.
You will have the opportunity to test a range of products which the specialist will bring with them to the assessment.
The specialist will then be able to advise you on the best solution for your needs.
The specialist will complete an assessment form for you to check and sign.
If you then decide that you would like to order a scooter or powered wheelchair on the Motability scheme, the specialist will explain the process and help you complete an application form.
