Roma Medical/Shoprider Grande Pavement Mobility Scooter

Our Take

The Roma Medical/Shoprider Grande is a large, four-wheel Class 2 pavement scooter. It runs at 4 mph, the pavement limit. Four wheels and a heavy frame give it a planted, stable ride. It also carries riders up to 159 kg.

A single charge covers around 25 miles, so longer trips stay comfortable. That range suits full days of errands and visits. Meanwhile, a large padded seat and adjustable tiller support the rider well. Because the build is solid, the ride stays smooth and steady.

The Grande is a stay-at-home scooter, not a travel one. It weighs 99 kg. Only the seat and armrests come off, so for transport it is effectively one piece. So it will not fit in a car boot. Instead, it needs ramp or hoist access and a dry place to store.

The Roma Medical/Shoprider Grande suits riders who want a roomy, comfortable scooter with real range. It works best where there is space to store and charge it. However, anyone travelling by car should choose a folding model. For longer, comfortable pavement journeys, though, the Grande delivers.

Around town and to the shops is where the Roma Medical/Shoprider Grande earns its keep, and a few similar models share that ground. The Green Power BL800 is easier to handle at 54.9kg and the Green Power BZ500 is closely comparable, while the Green Power GP500 is lighter at 54.9kg. A test drive of whichever appeals will tell you the rest.

For getting about the neighbourhood, the Roma Medical/Shoprider Grande 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.
