Invacare Comet Ultra Roadworthy Mobility Scooter
Our Take
The Invacare Comet Ultra Roadworthy Mobility Scooter sits at the top of Invacare’s Comet range, and it aims squarely at longer outdoor journeys. This is a Class 3 model, so it stays road-legal and reaches 6 mph on the road. Four wheels give it a stable base, and the frame carries users up to 220 kg.
Range is where this scooter earns its keep. A full charge covers up to 30 miles, so day trips and longer errands stay well within reach. It suits pavements and roads alike. It does not fold, though the seat lifts off and the batteries come out. At 148 kg it’s a heavy machine, so you’ll need a vehicle ramp and hoist rather than a car boot.
Because comfort and distance matter more here than portability, the Invacare Comet Ultra Roadworthy Mobility Scooter fits someone who travels further afield. If you have somewhere to store and charge it, the extra size pays off. Buyers who need to lift a scooter into a car should look at a lighter folding model instead.
Buyers after a robust scooter like the Invacare Comet Ultra often weigh it against a couple of similarly sturdy options. The Careco Frontier covers a shorter 12 miles and the Invacare Comet Pro comes in lighter at 136kg, while the Roma Medical/Shoprider Cordoba is a close match on the numbers. It’s worth a quick look at each before you decide.
Built solid, the Invacare Comet Ultra suits those who need extra strength and support. Still, it’s always worth sitting on one and giving it a go before deciding. Find local dealers and prices through our Find this Product Near Me search, and see Buyer’s Guide for pointers on choosing.
