6-8mph scooters

If you’re wanting a scooter that is ideal for long distances, then these may be perfect for you. Under UK legislation, they fall under Class 3 vehicles, which means they are road legal. They include, as minimum, lights, indicators and a horn. They will also be able to travel at a maximum of 8mph. They’re usually larger than travel scooters, folding scooters and pavement scooters.

 

Often, they have more luxurious features such as Captain’s seats, suspension and delta / wraparound handlebars. They do not dismantle easily, and they will likely not fit in the boot of a car.

 

Because they are road legal, they should be registered with the DVLA. They do not currently incur any road tax charges and they’re not legally required to have insurance (although we do recommend it).
