The Motability Scooters Scheme
For as little as £15 per week, you have the opportunity to become enrolled in the revolutionary Motability Scheme, which allows you to lease either an electric wheelchair or a mobility scooter. The idea is to provide additional mobility support for those who need it in their daily lives.
How to Apply for the Motability Scheme
We are one of the leading Motability providers in the Cambridgeshire area. We can take you through the whole process, from application to delivery, as we have done so many times before.
We have over 35 years’ worth of professional experience in the industry of mobility aids and, therefore, can provide the expertise you need. Our team of specialists can help with everything from applying for the scheme to selecting a suitable product and securing insurance for your mobility scooter. Whatever you need, we’ve got you covered.
Who Can Take Advantage of The Motability Scheme?
The Motability scheme is available to people who receive one of the following:
- Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
- Enhanced Rate Mobility Component of Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
- War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement (WPMS)
- The Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP)
The way The Motability Scheme works is simple and straightforward. All you need to do is choose the scooter or wheelchair you want (eligible products are displayed on the product page) and then get in touch with us. We will discuss your needs and requirements to ensure you are selecting an appropriate product.
We will then visit you to provide a free of charge demonstration. Then you can decide whether to go ahead with it or not. If you can’t choose just one of our amazing items, we will happily bring more with us!
Benefits of The Motability Scheme
The great thing about leasing through the Motability Scheme is it removes all the stress of owning the mobility product yourself. Rather than worrying about paying for annual maintenance and servicing appointments, these are all covered by our in-house team at no extra cost.

- Powered wheelchair or mobility scooter for three years which is then replaced with a new one after that
- Three years’ comprehensive insurance for mobility scooters available
- Three years’ full parts and labour warranty
- No call out charges for repairs
- Annual servicing
- Replacement batteries and tyres included
- Puncture repair included
- 24-hour breakdown recovery service

Mobility Equipment Servicing & Repairs
We repair all mobility equipment in-house, rather than sending products away to a service company. We ensure that the repair process is incredibly fast and convenient, especially if you live in the Peterborough or Cambridgeshire area. This is because we will arrange both the collection and return of your equipment as soon as it is back in full working order.
So, all you have to do is give us a call to arrange a collection at your convenience and let our experts do all the hard work! Find out more about the servicing and repairs we can carry out today.
