Mobility scooters

Selected models are approved under the Assistive Devices Program, and for an eligible applicant ADP contributes up to 75 percent of the approved device cost. Not every scooter qualifies, so ask us which models are approved before choosing one. You need an ADP-registered authorizer and must need the device for six months or longer. We are an authorized vendor and complete the paperwork.

Three wheels turn much more tightly and give more legroom, which matters in shops and indoors. Four wheels are steadier on uneven ground, slopes and cambered pavements. If most of your travelling is on pavements and in stores, three wheels. If it is on rough ground or hills, four.

Manufacturer range figures are measured on flat ground in mild weather with a light rider. Real range is shorter, and cold weather in particular reduces it noticeably. Tell us your longest regular journey and we will specify batteries against that with margin, rather than quoting a brochure figure.

A folding or portable scooter will, and that is the whole point of them. Bring your car to the showroom and we will try it before you buy. A full size or heavy duty scooter will not fit without a hoist or a ramp-equipped vehicle.

You do not need a driving licence to use a mobility scooter in Ontario. Insurance is not legally required either, but third party liability cover is worth asking your home insurer about, and some policies include it.

Policies vary by operator and by scooter size, and there are dimension and weight limits. Check with the operator with your specific model in hand. We can give you the exact dimensions and weight for anything we sell.

Yes. We rent scooters across the GTA, which is common for visitors, holidays and trying before buying. If you buy afterwards we will take what you have already paid into account. Note that ADP does not fund most rentals.

Charge the batteries after every use rather than when flat, keep the tyres correct, and have it serviced annually so brakes, connections and batteries get checked. Batteries are consumable and will need replacing periodically, always in pairs. We service everything we sell, from Brampton.

Cold reduces the chemical reaction rate inside the battery, so available capacity drops. It is normal and it is not a fault. Store the scooter somewhere warmer if you can, keep it on charge, and expect noticeably less range in February than in July.

Small kerbs, with care, depending on wheel size and ground clearance. It is not what scooters are designed for and it is where tipping happens. If your route has kerbs without dropped sections, tell us and we will specify wheels accordingly.

Somewhere dry with a socket, and somewhere you can get it into without a fight. A garage or a porch is ideal. Overall length is worth checking against a side gate or a hallway before you buy, because it is a measurement people forget.

Yes. Delivered anywhere in the GTA, assembled if needed, batteries charged, and we show you the controls, the freewheel lever and how to charge it properly before we leave. Scooters that arrive by courier tend to sit unused.
