Excel Sportrek Roadworthy Mobility Scooter
Our Take
The Excel Sportrek Roadworthy Mobility Scooter is a sporty Class 3 machine with real pace. It reaches 8 mph, so it runs on roads as well as pavements. Four wheels also give it a planted, athletic stance. Full lighting and indicators keep it road-legal. In addition, the frame carries riders up to 136 kg.
A single charge covers around 30 miles, so longer trips and day rides fit comfortably. Moreover, a powerful motor climbs hills that stall weaker scooters. Sleek styling gives it genuine kerb appeal. As a result, it looks as capable as it feels.
The Sportrek weighs 116 kg with its four batteries, or 90 kg without them. The seat lifts off — Van Os say that is a two-person job — but there is no further breakdown. Because of that weight, it will not lift into a car boot. Instead, you would move it with a ramp or a tail-lift. For most owners, therefore, it stays local and travels under its own power.
This scooter suits riders who want sporty pace, hill power and modern looks in one package. However, its performance focus makes for a firmer ride than a plush touring model. Buyers who want a softer ride or car transport should look elsewhere instead. In short, for a fast, good-looking road ride, the Excel Sportrek Roadworthy Mobility Scooter stands out.
If the Excel Sportrek’s strength and carrying capacity are what you need, these comparable models match it closely. The Careco Titan trades some range for about 25 miles and the CareCo Valour sits in much the same bracket, while the DSL Vantage Epic comes in lighter at 89.8kg. Any of them would suit much the same use.
The Excel Sportrek is a robust, substantial scooter made to take on more. As ever, the best way to judge a scooter is to try it for yourself. The Find this Product Near Me search finds dealers in your area to compare on price, and Buyer’s Guide runs through what matters.
