Mobility Scooters

A new luxury mobility scooter is always something to make sit up and take note, and the new Days Medical Strider ST6 is no exception. The Strider ST6 is the flagship scooter in the all new Days Strider range (the range includ Days Strider ST6 luxury mobility scooter es three travel scooters and three 8 mile an hour scooters) and is a real departure for Days Medical. The Strider ST6 looks to be aimed squarely at the top of the market, competing with the likes of the Afakim Breeze and the...

I have spoken(written) before about my favourite offroad scooter,  but here is another good write up on hubpages – the TGA Supersport. While it is not as fancy as some of the new eight mile an hour scooters around, like the TGA Vita or the NHC (Heartway) Royale it is most certainly one of the most purposeful and best made scooters ever produced.

Who comes up with these things?) is quite clearly a Pride Go Go Elite Traveller 4; the ‘Panther LX’ look suspiciously
