What to buy first (sales-first recommendation)

Why Harrow & Letchworth assessments beat guessing
Two people can live close by and still need totally different scooters. One route might include steep crossings and narrow footpaths; another might be mostly flat shopping areas. A local assessment helps confirm:
- Turning space at home (hallways, doorways, storage)
- Comfort for your typical journey time
- Stability on local slopes, kerbs and surface changes
- Which scooter class (2 vs 3) fits your real routes
Motability options (after you’ve chosen the right type)
If you’re eligible, Motability leasing can be a simple way to get a new scooter with predictable support. Many customers like Motability because it typically includes insurance and maintenance in the package.
