Each quarter, we add new powered wheelchairs and scooters to the Motability Scheme. They’re a great way to get around if you’re looking for more independence and flexibility.
Here are five new options to consider on the Motability Scheme. We’ve kept things simple: each product has what it is, plus headline specs like range, speed and maximum user weight. As always, the right choice depends on your needs and how you’ll use it day to day. If you can, try before you choose.
The Motability Scheme price list is updated every three months. The prices shown here are valid between 1 April and 30 June 2026.

If you like the C Lite set-up but want extra mileage on paper, the Long Range option is worth a look.
A quick note on range: Manufacturer-quoted ranges are tested in ideal conditions and can vary depending on things like user weight, terrain, battery condition and weather. If you can, speak to your Motability Scheme dealer, arrange a demonstration, and see what feels right for you day to day.
1) How do I choose the right powered wheelchair or scooter?
Start with your everyday journeys: where you’ll use it most (indoors, outdoors, or both), how far you tend to travel, and what your local routes are like (kerbs, slopes, uneven pavements). Then look at the practicalities like turning space at home, storage, and whether you need it to fold or fit in a car. If you can, try a few options with a dealer so you can compare comfort, controls and manoeuvrability.
2) What range do I actually need and is it accurate?
Quoted range is tested in ideal conditions, so real-world distance can be lower depending on things like user weight, hills, surface type, temperature and battery age. A good rule is to choose a model with more range than you think you’ll need, so you’re not worrying about charging on longer days out. If you regularly do longer trips, a long-range battery option could be worth considering.
3) What features should I prioritise for comfort and support?
If you’re using your chair or scooter for longer periods, comfort features can make a big difference, so think supportive seating, suspension, and easy-to-reach controls. For powered wheelchairs, features like tilt or recline can help with positioning and comfort through the day. For scooters, consider seat adjustability and stability on the surfaces you use most.
