Van Os Medical Excel Roadster DX8 Deluxe Roadworthy Mobility Scooter

Our Take

The Van Os Medical Excel Roadster DX8 Deluxe is a fully featured Class 3 scooter. It’s road-legal. So it reaches 8 mph on the road and handles pavements too. Four wheels give it a planted, stable stance. The frame also carries users up to 136 kg.

A full charge covers around 27 miles. Meanwhile, the comfortable seat suits longer outdoor journeys. That’s a dependable range for errands and days out.

Van Os publish a total weight of 92 kg — only 6 kg more than the standard DX8, the difference being the larger batteries. However, it doesn’t fold or come apart. Because it stays in one piece, you’ll need a ramp and hoist rather than a car boot. It also needs proper storage space at home.

The Van Os Medical Excel Roadster DX8 Deluxe suits someone who wants road ability and comfort over portability. So if you have somewhere to store and charge it, it fits well. Buyers who need to lift a scooter into a car should choose a lighter folding model instead.

The Van Os Medical Excel Roadster DX8 Deluxe is a road-going scooter, and a few others in the same class are worth a look alongside it. The Budget 8 trims the weight to 99.8kg and the Kymco Agility is very similar on paper, while the Kymco Midi XLS comes in lighter at 102kg. Any of them would suit much the same use.

The Van Os Medical Excel Roadster DX8 Deluxe is built for the road, with the pace to keep up around town. As ever, the best way to judge a scooter is to try it for yourself. The Find this Product Near Me search finds dealers in your area to compare on price, and Buyer’s Guide runs through what matters.
