For years the image of a mobility scooter was of an underpowered, over priced monstrosity that came in a choice of one colour - burgandy. The only emotions these vehicles conjured up were either derision or pity. Well laugh no more, because there are some new kids in town.

The TGA Breeze 4 mobility scooter can truly do it all. It is as at home bumping over curbs as it is climbing hills. The Breeze 4 has a range of staggering 30 miles, in fact the three wheeled version is in the Guiness Book of Records for the longest journey on a mobility scooter, over 1,300 miles. If you have any doubts about the versitility of the Breeze 4 a look at the GT option pack should dispel that: extra wide rear tires suitable for use on a golf course, extra large mud flaps, and an oversized battery cover.

With its tubular amulminum construction the Liteway 8's design owes more to dune buggies than traditional mobility scooters, but the Liteway 8 is much more than just stylish. Fully collapsible and with a heaviest piece weighing only 18 kilograms (40 pounds) the Liteway 8 is the lightest 8mph scooter currently on the market. Winner of the Gold Prize at the Katowice Healthcare Trade exhibition, the Liteway 8 is a true heavy weight despite its slimline frame.

Looking more like a modern motorscooter than a mobility scooter the Royale 4 is more than just a little bit diferent. Offering fully active suspension, digital display, and plush captains seat, the Royale looks and feels more like a small car than an electric scooter.

At first glance the Pride Ranger doesn't appear to be anything special, but a second glance will tell you this is not your grandmothers mobility scooter.

Powered by twin motors the Ranger is capable of carry loads in excess of 180 kilograms (nearly 400 pounds) and is is the ultimate all-terrain personal mobility vehicle.

The new breed of mobility scooter is designed for the kind of life you want to live. Whether you live for the great outdoors or just like to be stylish there is a mobility scooter for you.
