Road legal scooters are unique mobility vehicles, legally designed for use by people with disabilities, enabling them to travel safely on pavements, public roads, and cycle paths in compliance with the Laws of the UK. Ultimately, making these scooters extremely powerful, tough, and comply with legislation enables disabled users to access unrivalled independence, allowing these people to thrive in both urban and rural living, keeping a sense of independence and a full life along the way.

Here, at Welzo, we have a large variety of road legal mobility scooters that are extremely powerful and agile to use, all approved for use on the road under the UK laws on mobility scooters. Check out other road legal vehicles Welzo carries, such as cabin cars.

What is meant by 'Road Legal'? 

In order to be regarded as road legal in the UK, a vehicle must comply with several aspects.

• Maximum speed of 8 mph (12.8 km/h)
  
• Meeting lighting and reflector requirements
  
• Horns, bells or some warning systems
  
• Brakes and mirrors
  
• Insurance and registration as a mobility vehicle under current laws in the UK.
  

This is why every road legal scooter must have this, to ensure the vehicle or wheeled item is meeting the legal requirements and facilitating safety in sharing road and pavements with other users, while giving the user comfort and accessibility to travel daily.

Why Choose a Road Legal Scooter?

Individuals can:

• Increasing travel distance with confidence
  
• Access shops, parks, public transport
  
• All terrains, kerbs and slopes
• Have independence without being reliant on the car, public transport, and services.

Dr. Helen Carter, Mobility Consultant

“Road legal scooters can change the whole experience for users needing to travel in a reliable, safe way outside the home. Road legal scooters open up transport to be able to engage socially, and improve mental wellbeing through independence.”

Important Considerations when Choosing a Road Legal Scooter 

• Battery Range and Charging Time. Choosing a scooter which can manage your typical travel distance every day.
  
• Weight and Portability. Some scooters dismantle or fold, to fit in the boot of your car.
  
• Comfort and Support. Having adjustment for seating, suspension options, height/ergonomic controls.
  
• Safety. Generally lights and indicators, mirrors, and very importantly to have anti tip
