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 28 miles, which is well above most scooters. It carries riders up to 160 kg. A strong motor handles hills and rough ground with ease.
The main things to plan for are size and weight. At 145.5 kg the Sterling S700 cannot be lifted whole. The seat comes off at 35 kg, along with the basket, armrests and headrest, but the machine still 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.

Buyers after a robust scooter like the Sunrise Medical/Sterling S700 often weigh it against a couple of similarly sturdy options.

The Sunrise Medical/Sterling S700 is a heavy-duty option with the build to match. It’s well worth a test ride to see how it feels for you day to day. Use our Find this Product Near Me search to track down local dealers and compare prices, and have a read of Buyer’s Guide for what to look for.
