Class 2

Class 2 mobility scooters are designed for indoor and pavement usage with the maximum speed of 4mph. They are not able to be used on the roads however they can be driven on pedestrian and crossings with zebras. However, you should be sure not to get in the way of pedestrians or those who are using prams or pushchairs. You don't require a license to operate a class 2 scooter, but it is essential that you have good eyesight and can read a car's registration plate from about 12.3 metres (40 feet).

These scooters are smaller and lighter than other kinds of mobility scooters, and are often transportable. Some can be dismantled to fit into a car's boot, making them ideal for long trips out and shopping trips. They are not as comfortable as larger models, and some may have less battery life.

Some public transport companies will not allow you to take an electric scooter class 2 on board. Brighton &amp
