Roma Medical/Shoprider Grande Roadworthy Mobility Scooter
Our Take
The Roma Medical/Shoprider Grande is a large, four-wheel Class 3 road scooter. It runs at up to 8 mph on the road and 4 mph on the pavement. 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 20 miles, so longer trips stay comfortable. Roma no longer list the Grande; these figures come from the dealer Lifelight and from Living Made Easy. 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 journeys on road and pavement, 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 a close match on the numbers and the Green Power BZ500 is closely comparable, while the Green Power GP500 is also a close match, though Green Power publish no weight for any of them. 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.
