Are you tired of feeling stuck at home when your legs just aren't cooperating? You're not alone, mate! Whether you're a sprightly senior whose knees have gone a bit dodgy, recovering from surgery, or managing a long-term condition that's playing havoc with your mobility, finding the RIGHT scooter can be an absolute game-changer!
Our cheeky
little quiz will match your specific lifestyle needs with the perfect mobility device – because let's face it, nobody wants to waste their hard-earned pounds on features they'll never use, or end up with a scooter that's about as useful as a chocolate teapot for their daily adventures. So, pop the kettle on, grab a biscuit, and let's get rolling to find your perfect match!
Take our interactive lifestyle quiz
Our cheeky little quiz will help narrow down your perfect mobility device based on your unique circumstances. Just answer these questions honestly to receive spot-on recommendations.
Question 1: Where will you primarily use your scooter?
- Mainly indoors (home, popping to the shops, avoiding the in-laws)
- Bit of both — indoor and local outdoor adventures
- Primarily outdoors on pavements and paths (fresh air fiend!)
- Challenging terrain (parks, gravel, grass, anywhere a mountain goat might go)
Question 2: Will you need to bung your scooter in a vehicle?
- Yes, regularly in my Fiesta-sized runabout
- Occasionally in something with more space than a shoebox
- Rarely, but it's good to have options (like dessert at a restaurant)
- No, it'll stay at home or be used straight from the front door
Question 3: What's your approximate weight? (Be honest, we won't tell!)
- Light as a feather (under 15 stone)
- Average build (15-20 stone)
- Solidly built (20-25 stone)
- Generously proportioned (over 25 stone)
Question 4: How far do you fancy traveling before your battery gives up the ghost?
- Just nipping out (under 5 miles)
- Decent outings (5-10 miles)
- Proper expeditions (10-15 miles)
- Marathon adventures (15+ miles, practically a road trip!)
Question 5: What's your budget? (How deep are those pockets?)
- Watching the pennies (£500-£1,000)
- Middle of the road (£1,000-£2,000)
- Comfortable splurge (£2,000-£3,500)
- Sky's the limit! (£3,500+, second mortgage territory)
Question 6: Comfort vs portability—what's your preference?
- Fold it up tiny, I'll sit on anything! (Extremely portable)
- Something that won't cripple me but fits in the car (Somewhat portable with reasonable comfort)
- Comfy seat a must, occasional transport (Primarily comfortable)
- I want a throne on wheels! (Maximum comfort, hang the portability)
Question 7: Where's your scooter going to live? Any space issues?
- My flat's so small the mice are hunched over (Severe limitations)
- Got a bit of hallway or a modest shed (Limited space)
- Decent garage or storage spot available (Reasonable space)
- I've got more room than the local garden centre (No limitations)
Question 8: Let's talk about your getup-and-go ability:
- Can stand and toddle a bit with support (wobbly but willing)
- Can stand briefly for transfers (about as long as a TV ad break)
- Limited standing—need good support (stand under protest)
- Can't stand at all—need special transfer options (sitting is my superpower)
Question 9: How tall are you? (For legroom considerations)
- Compact model (under 5'4")
- Average height (5'4" to 5'8")
- Tall drink of water (5'8" to 6'0")
- Basketball territory (over 6'0")
Question 10: Any particular physical niggles we should know about?
- Hands not what they used to be (arthritis playing up?)
- Back gives you gyp (spinal issues)
- Hips or joints that complain louder than a teenager asked to wash up
- Bit of everything (your body's having a right old moan)
