Electric Mobility/Rascal 388 Standard Pavement Mobility Scooter

Our Take

The Electric Mobility Rascal 388 Standard Pavement Mobility Scooter is a roomy, stable scooter for people who want a comfortable ride. A strong motor pulls it confidently along pavements and up moderate slopes. The wide padded seat, easy controls and handy storage make it dependable for daily errands and visits. It also takes users up to 136 kg. A single charge covers around 20 miles, enough for a full day close to home.

The trade-off is size and weight. It weighs 83 kg, or about 61 kg with its battery pack out, and it comes apart into five pieces — the heaviest being the 21.8 kg battery pack itself. The 388 Standard is the same machine as the Deluxe with a lighter seat. For a similar comfortable four-wheel pavement scooter, the Drive Medical Envoy 4 is worth comparing. The TGA Zest Plus is another solid pavement option. If comfort and stability matter more to you than portability, the 388 Standard delivers on both.

If the Electric Mobility/Rascal 388 Standard fits the bill for getting about locally, a few similar models are worth comparing. The Scooterpac Tandem is very similar on paper and the Careco Eclipse stops a little sooner at 15 miles, while the Roma Medical Dallas DX is a bigger build at 118kg. Each is worth weighing up against the Electric Mobility/Rascal 388 Standard before you commit.

For getting about the neighbourhood, the Electric Mobility/Rascal 388 Standard does the job without fuss. Even so, nothing beats trying a model yourself before you commit.
