Large Mobility Scooters Melbourne | Long-Range Comfort

Large mobility scooters

Large mobility scooters are built for longer distances, outdoor paths and higher user weight capacities. They typically offer larger wheels, more powerful motors and wider, more supportive seats. This makes them ideal for people who want to travel further from home, use local paths regularly or need extra stability and comfort.

We support customers across Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula and Bellarine Peninsula to choose large scooters that match terrain, storage, transport and clinical needs.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about large mobility scooters

? Who should consider a large mobility scooter?

A large scooter is often best for people who regularly travel longer distances outdoors, need a higher weight capacity or prefer a wider, more supportive seat. Larger scooters can also be helpful on uneven or sloping paths where extra stability, suspension and power are important. Your occupational therapist or physiotherapist can help assess whether a large scooter suits your needs and environment.

? Are large scooters suitable for indoor use?

Large scooters have a bigger turning circle and wider base, so they are usually less practical inside small homes, narrow hallways or tight shop aisles. Many people use their large scooter mainly outdoors and keep a smaller aid, such as a walker or indoor mobility aid, for moving around inside the home.

? Do large mobility scooters need special storage?

Yes. Large scooters take up more space and are heavier to move. You will need a level, accessible area for storage, safe access to power for charging and a clear path in and out of the home or garage. It is also important to protect the scooter from weather where possible and ensure you can safely manoeuvre it in and out of its parking spot.

? Can I transport a large scooter in a car?

Most large scooters are not designed to be lifted into a standard car boot due to their weight and size. Some people use vehicle hoists, ramps or trailers, but many keep the scooter at home and use it for local trips only. If you need a scooter to regularly travel in the car, a portable or smaller scooter is usually more suitable.

? Can you help me decide between a medium and large scooter?

Yes. Our team can help you compare large scooters with medium and portable models by looking at your daily distances, terrain, body shape, storage space and transport needs. We can also work with your occupational therapist or physiotherapist if they are involved. For personalised support, please contact our team , and you can review brand brochures and specifications on our product catalogues page .

? Can I use my NDIS funding for a large mobility scooter?

In many cases, large mobility scooters can be considered assistive technology under the NDIS when they are recommended by an allied health professional and clearly linked to your goals, such as community access and independence. This often involves an assessment and supporting reports from your occupational therapist or physiotherapist. For more information about how assistive technology works under the NDIS, you can visit the official NDIS page on assistive technology explained . We can provide quotes and product information for participants, support coordinators and plan managers.

? Do you hire large mobility scooters as well as sell them?
