Sunrise Medical/Sterling Elite 2 XS Roadworthy Mobility Scooter
Our Take
The Sterling Elite 2 XS is a Class 3 three-wheel scooter. It runs at up to 8 mph, so it is road-legal as well as usable on the pavement at reduced speed. It carries riders up to 175 kg. One charge covers around 27 miles, enough for local trips and errands. It is a rigid road scooter weighing 132 kg with its batteries. Only the battery comes out — Sunrise give it as 23 kg and name it the heaviest single part — so the scooter is designed to stay at home with a ramp or hoist rather than travel by car. The Sterling Elite 2 XS suits riders who want road-legal 8 mph travel with the range for longer journeys.Around town and to the shops is where the Sunrise Medical/Sterling Elite 2 XS earns its keep, and a few similar models share that ground. The Mini Crosser X-Joy sits in much the same bracket, while the One Rehab/Komfi Rider Cruise covers a shorter 22 miles.
For getting about the neighbourhood, the Sunrise Medical/Sterling Elite 2 XS does the job without fuss. Numbers only tell you so much, so do try before you buy where you can.
