Mobility scooters

[Brikel]

Thank you to all of you who replied to my request for help in choosing a mobility scooter

There was ( as usual). A lot of helpful suggestions which I have taken on board The one I like and may buy is the lite tech neon but I’m looking around now for the cheapest price

(Careco sells it for nearly 2 thousand £)

Once again Thanks for all your help and advice

Kind Regards

Brian

Hi Brian, 🙋‍♀️ Didn't realise they were so expensive! I wonder if you can buy reconditioned second hand ones? 🤞xxx

[Brikel in reply to Nula2]

Hi Nula That is what I’m hoping so having a good look round

It may happen that I have to pay full price

None of the shops I’ve visited are open to negotiation , but holding out for now.

Regards

Brian

Good luck in your search. 🙂

I have checked these out and they do look good. My main concern would be they would be no good in a more hilly area as they only do 10% gradient. Also while there are many dropped kerbs sometimes they can then rise more than 10%.

Don't forget though that you can apply to get the vat back as you have a medical conditon.

Thanks Hypercat

VAT is already discounted at point of sale

hi,Brikel…have you looked on eBay they’re on there S.Hand at about £1000

[Brikel in reply to garibaldon]

Hi Gari

Yes keeping an eye on EBay

Some very good offers , but unfortunately Most are collection only and they are all in the wrong part of the country.

Thanks for your help

I remember trying that scooter and would have ordered except that they couldn't deliver in time for our holiday.Out of interest, what is your rough location?

[Brikel in reply to MoyB]

Hi Moy

I am in Childwall a suburb of Liverpool

If I want it now It’s looking like I may have to bite the bullet and pay the full price.

Regards

Brian

[MoyB in reply to Brikel]

I wondered where you were as I wondered if the one the man is selling near me would be any good, but I'm in Eastbourne so too far to come to look at a used one, I think. I must admit that I was prepared to pay full price for one like the one you're after if I could have had it in time. However, the one I got second hand for £550 including mirror, bags and full service history has been ideal (although heavier).

If speed is of the essence, though, you will probably have to cough up £2000, as you say, to get exactly what you want.

Good luck! Xx Moy

Thanks Andrew

Dear Brian,

I was just re-reading some 'old' Posts, and came across yours. Did you manage, to find/ buy, a suitable Scooter? If so, what sort?

Sorry, just interested.....

AndrewT

[Brikel]

Hi Andrew

After a lot of advice and research I identified the one I wanted but it cost 2 thousand pounds. I have been waiting to see if a second hand one becomes available in my area

There have been quite a few adverts for it but all have been at the other end of the country.

I live in hope

The model is the CareCo Li tech Neon 15/30

It is very lightweight and has a lithium battery It dismantles into 5 pieces and fits into the boot of most cars

Regards

Brian
