Our Take

The Prism 4 Wheeled Scooter from Drive Medical is a stable, modern class 2 pavement scooter. Its four-wheel base gives a secure, planted feel that suits new riders. A neat body and simple controls make it easy to live with. So it works well for anyone who wants balance and easy handling. Drive no longer list the Prism 4, so confirm availability with a dealer.

It travels at the class 2 pavement limit of 4 mph. A single charge covers around 10 miles, enough for a full day of local trips. It also carries riders up to 115 kg. A front basket gives you room for shopping too.

The Prism 4 is a pavement scooter, so it stays off the road. It weighs 46.8 kg with its batteries in, or 37 kg without them, and it comes apart into four pieces — the seat, the battery pack, the front section and the rear section — so it can travel by car. For a three-wheel option with tighter turning, also look at the Rascal Pablo. It is worth trying both before you decide.

If the Prism 4 fits the bill for getting about locally, a few similar models are worth comparing. The Electric Mobility/Rascal Vippi is a close match on the numbers and the One Rehab/Komfi Rider Vogue is a little lighter at 44kg, while the Electric Mobility/Rascal Liteway 4 Plus stops a little sooner at 9 miles. A test drive of whichever appeals will tell you the rest.

For getting about the neighbourhood, the Prism 4 does the job without fuss. Before you decide, a hands-on try will tell you what really suits you. Find local dealers and prices through our Find this Product Near Me search, and see Buyer’s Guide for pointers on choosing.
