Description
The Drive Ventura 4 DLX scooter is a 4-wheel full size mobility scooter for paved indoor and outdoor use in Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area. Drive's current VENTURA420CS sheet rates it at 400 lbs (181 kg), 4 mph (6.4 km/h), and a maximum 16 miles (26 km), on a 54 inch (137 cm) turning radius.
This is the four-wheel Ventura. Drive sells it as the step up from a compact travel scooter: 20 inch captain seat, interchangeable red and blue panels, rear suspension, and a frame that comes apart for a car. It is not a folding airline scooter and it is not a heavy duty rough-terrain scooter. Range and speed change with rider weight, terrain, and battery charge.
Who this scooter is for
This full size mobility scooter is for a person who wants four-wheel stability, a 400 lb rating, and a captain seat, and who will ride on sidewalks, shops, and paved paths more than on grass or gravel. Families usually call us when a 3-wheel scooter feels tippy outdoors and a Panther or Cobra feels too big for the house.
If you need a tighter indoor turn, start with the Drive Ventura 3 DLX 3-Wheel Scooter. If you need 14 inch pneumatic tyres and a higher outdoor rating, see the Drive Panther Heavy Duty 4-Wheel Scooter. The Ventura 4 DLX is not the Cobra.
- Sidewalks, shops, and paved paths more than rough ground
- A 400 lb (181 kg) rating and a 20 inch captain seat on VENTURA420CS
- Four-wheel stability and a 54 inch (137 cm) turning radius
Range, speed, and batteries
Drive's current Ventura 4 sheet lists a maximum range of 16 miles (26 km) and a top speed of 4 mph (6.4 km/h) on a 12V x 33AH pair and a 2A offboard charger. Range and speed change with rider weight, terrain, and battery condition.
Charge the batteries after every trip. Drive's manual says a new pair should sit on charge for 8 to 12 hours before first use. If you ride most days, put it on charge when you finish and leave it until the next day. If it sits, charge 10 to 14 hours once a week. Only sealed lead acid AGM or gel-cell batteries belong in this scooter. Use Batteries if you want a larger Group 24 or Group 27 pair than the 33AH set Drive prints.
Portability and transport
The Ventura 4 DLX disassembles into five pieces without tools: the seat, the basket, the battery pack, the front section, and the rear section. Drive's family manual lists the 4-wheel heaviest piece at 70 lbs (32 kg) and the 4-wheel base at 99 lbs (45 kg). The current sheet lists the assembled scooter at 187 lbs (85 kg). That is a two-person car-trunk job for most households.
Drive does not rate this as an airline travel scooter. The manual says sealed AGM or gel-cell batteries are FAA approved for transport and tells you to call the carrier before you fly. The assembled scooter is 48 inches long and 25 inches wide. It is not a seat in a motor vehicle. For a scheduled drop-off in Brampton or the GTA, call (905) 451-7743.

Ventura, Panther, or Cobra: which Drive scooter fits
The Ventura 4 DLX is the four-wheel midsize scooter in this Drive ladder. The Ventura 3 DLX keeps the same 400 lb class and tightens the turn to 53 inches for indoor rooms. The Panther steps up to 425 lbs (193 kg), 8 mph (12.9 km/h), 25 miles (40 km), 4 inches of clearance, and 14 inch pneumatic tyres. The Cobra GT4 is the 450 lb (204 kg), 10 mph (16 km/h), 35 mile (56 km) outdoor scooter with 7 inches of clearance. Stay on the Ventura 4 if you want four-wheel stability without moving into heavy duty size.
Funding help for a mobility scooter in Ontario
Ontario's Assistive Devices Program (ADP) can fund 75% of the cost of a mobility scooter when the need is long-term and the scooter is prescribed through an assessment by an ADP-registered occupational therapist or physiotherapist, and some income-support programs cover the full cost. Not every scooter qualifies, so talk to us before you buy. March of Dimes Canada, Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), and community programs can also help. Westin Healthcare's staff work with these programs every week and will point you to the right route for your situation. Visit our funding page or call (905) 451-7743 to talk it through.

Drive manufacturer warranty
Drive's current VENTURA420CS sheet is 24 months on electronics, 12 months on batteries, and limited lifetime on the frame, for the original purchaser. Wear items such as tyres and shrouds sit outside that term. We handle the warranty claim with you. Ask us if an extended warranty is offered for your order.
Frequently asked questions
How far can a mobility scooter go?
The Drive Ventura 4 DLX has a maximum range of 16 miles (26 km) on Drive's current VENTURA420CS sheet. Rider weight, hills, wind, and battery condition shorten that number. Charge after every trip if you want the distance Drive printed.
3 wheel vs 4 wheel scooter?
The Drive Ventura 4 DLX is the 4-wheel scooter, with a 54 inch (137 cm) turning radius and a wider stance on uneven pavement. The Drive Ventura 3 DLX is the 3-wheel sibling, with a 53 inch turn for indoor rooms. Pick four wheels if outdoor stability matters more. Pick three wheels for shops and hallways.
Can I take a mobility scooter on a plane?
The Drive Ventura 4 DLX is not a folding airline scooter. Drive's manual says sealed AGM or gel-cell batteries are FAA approved for transport and tells you to call the airline first. The assembled scooter is 48 inches long and 187 lbs. Plan on checked mobility equipment rules, not a cabin fold.
Does ADP cover scooters?
Ontario's Assistive Devices Program can help with a mobility scooter after an ADP-registered therapist assessment. Eligibility depends on the person and the category. Call (905) 451-7743 or use the funding page before you buy. We will point you to the right path for your case.
How long to charge a mobility scooter?
The Drive Ventura 4 DLX uses a 2A offboard charger on a 33AH pair. Drive's manual says to charge 8 to 12 hours on a new pair, then charge overnight after daily use, or 10 to 14 hours once a week if the scooter sits. Leave it on charge until the charger shows green.
Can you use a mobility scooter in the rain?
The Drive Ventura 4 DLX should stay out of rain, standing water, snow, ice, and salt when you can. Drive says if it gets wet, dry it and let it sit 8 to 12 hours, then check the throttle and brakes before you ride again.
Do mobility scooters work in winter?
The Drive Ventura 4 DLX family manual rates the scooter to operate between 18 F and 122 F (-8 C to 50 C). Drive warns that batteries can freeze in extreme cold and that the scooter may run slower in extreme heat. Avoid ice and salt. This is a paved-path scooter, not a snow scooter.
What is the weight limit for a mobility scooter?
The Drive Ventura 4 DLX is rated at 400 lbs (181 kg) on the VENTURA420CS sheet, rider plus accessories. If you need more than 400 lbs, look at the Panther (425 lb) or the Cobra GT4 (450 lb).
How wide is a mobility scooter?
The Drive Ventura 4 DLX is 25 inches (64 cm) wide and turns in 54 inches (137 cm). Measure doorways and elevator doors before you buy. The 3-wheel Ventura is the same 25 inch width with a 53 inch turn.
Can I rent a mobility scooter?
Westin Healthcare rents mobility scooters for short-term needs in the GTA. See the rentals hub and call (905) 451-7743 to check what is on the floor. A rental scooter may be a different model than the Ventura 4 DLX.
