8mph Scooter

8mph scooters provide the ideal combination of speed and comfort for those looking to cover longer distances quickly. Typically classed as a Class 3 mobility scooter, they're designed to travel on the road and pavements without difficulty.

Take into consideration the terrain you'll be riding on and if it's stony or rough. Outdoor scooters that are bigger can attain speeds of up 8mph on the road, and 4mph on the pavement, provided they're equipped with lights, indicators and mirrors.

A DISABLED army soldier has broken the world record for travelling from one side of the country to the next on an 8mph scooter. Andy McIntosh, 42, took the 1011 miles from John O' Groats to Land's End on his electric mobility scooter. He completed the trip in 16 days and eight hours and beat the previous record of eight days. He raised funds for military charities such as Poppy Scotland, SSAFA The Soldier's Charity, ABF The Soldier's Charity and Erskine.
