Motion Healthcare mLite Pavement Mobility Scooter

Our Take

The Motion Healthcare mLite is one of the lightest mobility scooters you can buy. It weighs just 19.9 kg. That is the whole point of it. The frame uses aircraft-grade aluminium, so it stays rigid while keeping the weight right down. It folds for storage and transport. At under 20 kg, most people can lift the folded scooter into a car boot. Top speed is 4 mph, and it carries riders up to 115 kg. For anyone who travels often and needs a scooter they can actually pick up, the mLite fits the bill.

Light comes at a cost, in two senses. The range is short — about 10 miles on a charge — so this is a scooter for trips into town, not all-day mileage. Ground clearance is low at 5 cm, so it wants smooth, flat pavement. It will not thank you for kerbs, grass or rough ground. This is also a Class 2, pavement-only model, so it stays off the road. And the mLite is not cheap — you pay a premium for that low weight. So it is the wrong choice if you need range, all-terrain grip or a budget option. But if getting the scooter in and out of the car is your main worry, few do it better.
