Mobility scooters, the law ?

[rodp]

Does anyone know if it's legal for an able bodied person to use a mobility scooter on the road / footpath ? Do they have to be taxed , insured etc ?

Here in the States it is considered a legal extension of their legs.

Thanks for reply. Over here though there's probably some obscure law to make money out of us.
We send one of the lads who works for us up to the local supermarket to buy water (can't drink the water in the factory). He hasn't got a driving license so has to walk or go on a bike. Thought about getting one of these and sending him on it so he can carry more water

Time you pay Glynn to go get it, then pay for the mobility scooter, and store it, maintain it, charge it ETC, would it be more practical to have a large bottle water dispenser supplied and replenished by an outside water supply specialist?

No fun in a water dispenser though, Dave
