Sunrise Medical/Sterling S700 Roadworthy Mobility Scooter

Our Take

The Sunrise Medical Sterling S700 Roadworthy Mobility Scooter is a high-performance class 3 model. Full lights, indicators and a horn make it road-safe. Its four-wheel base keeps it planted on roads and rougher ground. So it suits riders who want power and comfort on longer trips.

It reaches the class 3 limit of 8 mph on the road. A single charge also covers around 34 miles, which is well above most scooters. It carries riders up to 197 kg, so it is a genuine heavy-duty choice. A strong motor handles hills and rough ground with ease.

The main things to plan for are size and weight. At 146 kg the Sterling S700 does not dismantle, so it needs a ramp and solid storage rather than a car boot. For a similar rugged road model, also compare the TGA Breeze S4. It is worth a test drive before you choose.
