Freerider Kensington Roadworthy Mobility Scooter

Our Take

The Freerider Kensington Roadworthy Mobility Scooter is a comfortable, stylish class 3 model. Full lights, indicators and a horn make it road-safe. Its four-wheel base keeps it planted on roads and pavements. So it suits riders who want comfort and style on longer trips.

It reaches the class 3 limit of 8 mph on the road. Freerider publish no range figure for the Kensington, so ask the dealer what the fitted battery pack will cover. It carries riders up to 160 kg, so larger users get solid support. A padded seat keeps longer journeys relaxed.

The main things to plan for are size and weight. At 106 kg the Kensington does not dismantle, so it needs a ramp and solid storage rather than a car boot. For a lighter road-legal option, also look at a mid-size class 3 scooter. It is worth a test drive before you choose.

If it’s the Freerider Kensington’s road-legal pace that appeals, a couple of rivals are worth lining up next to it. The Drive Medical Aviator is lighter at 89.8kg and the Pride Mobility Celebrity X matches it closely on specs. Each is worth weighing up against the Freerider Kensington before you commit.

With its 8 mph pace and 25-stone frame, the Freerider Kensington is built for longer days out. Even so, nothing beats trying a model yourself before you commit. To compare prices near you, try the Find this Product Near Me search, and Buyer’s Guide is worth a look for the key things to check.
