Mobility equipment for real Hertford routes
Hertford combines town-centre errands, riverside paths, residential estates and mixed pavement surfaces. Even short trips to shops, the GP or the pharmacy can involve dropped kerbs, cambers, tight turns, uneven slabs and stop-start riding at crossings.
That’s why the best starting point is always how you travel in a typical week:
- Regular short trips into town, supermarkets and local services
- Residential pavements, shared paths and frequent crossings
- Storage at home (hallway, shed, porch, communal space) and charging access
- Comfort, seating posture and fatigue over longer outings
Which mobility scooter types suit Hertford?
Most customers begin by comparing the three most common scooter categories:
- Class 2 pavement scooters for shopping areas and pedestrian routes (4 mph limit)
- Class 3 road scooters for longer or mixed routes with added stability and comfort (road-capable with a 4 mph pavement setting)
- Portable and boot scooters for compact storage and car transport flexibility
If a scooter isn’t the safest fit (for example, if you need more postural support or tighter indoor manoeuvring), power wheelchairs may be the better solution. Mobility World also supplies a comprehensive range of mobility equipment, including riser recliners, adjustable beds, orthopaedic seating and stairlifts.

Our mobile engineers support customers with servicing, adjustments and diagnostics at home where appropriate, with workshop-level support via the Letchworth base.
