Our Take
The Invacare Orion Metro is a compact, 8 mph Class 3 mobility scooter for town and city use. It covers up to 20 miles on a charge. It has full lights and indicators, so it is road-legal on roads and pavements. Its smaller size makes it easier to store and handle than a big road scooter. It carries riders up to 136 kg. A comfortable seat, adjustable tiller and handy storage make it easy to live with. If you want road-legal capability without a bulky machine, the Orion Metro is a sensible middle ground.
Compact does not mean light here. The Orion Metro weighs 110 kg as a four-wheeler, or 103 kg as a three-wheeler. It does not fold. The seat lifts off and the batteries come out, but the chassis alone is 57 kg. So it stays in one piece and needs a ramp or hoist to move — not a car boot. Its footprint is smaller than a big road scooter, which helps with storage, but you still need somewhere to keep it. At 8 mph and 20 miles, it is happiest around town rather than on long trips or steep hills. So it is the wrong choice if you need long range or easy transport. But if you want road-legal ability in a more manageable size, the Orion Metro strikes a fair balance.
The Invacare Orion Metro is a road-going scooter, and a few others in the same class are worth a look alongside it. The Kymco Midi XLS stretches range to about 25 miles and the Motion Healthcare Xcite Li is easier to handle at 103.8kg, while the One Rehab/Komfi Rider Parade 4 matches it closely on specs. Any of them would suit much the same use.
The Invacare Orion Metro is built for the road, with the pace to keep up around town. 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.
