Van Os Medical Excel Galaxy II Roadworthy Mobility Scooter
Our Take
The Van Os Medical Excel Galaxy II Roadworthy Mobility Scooter is a comfortable, capable 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 158 kg.
A full charge covers around 35 miles. Meanwhile, the roomy seat makes longer journeys comfortable. That’s a strong range for days out and errands further afield.
The total weight is 127 kg with its batteries, or 87 kg without them. 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 Galaxy II Roadworthy Mobility Scooter suits someone who wants speed, range 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.
Serious mileage is the point of the Van Os Medical Excel Galaxy II, and it shares that ground with a few other road-legal machines. The Freerider Land Ranger Deluxe goes further at around 40 miles and the Clearwell Mobility Helios HD trims the weight to 120.2kg, while the Drive Medical Royale 4 is very similar on paper. Each is worth weighing up against the Van Os Medical Excel Galaxy II before you commit.
With its longer range and road-legal pace, the Van Os Medical Excel Galaxy II is built for proper days out. Even so, nothing beats trying a model yourself before you commit.
