What entitles me to VAT exemption on mobility scooters?
In the European Union, mobility scooters can often be purchased without VAT (Value Added Tax) if certain conditions are met. VAT exemption is intended to make essential mobility aids more affordable for people with disabilities.
You may be entitled to VAT exemption if:
-
You have a chronic illness or disability that affects your mobility.
-
The scooter is purchased for your personal and domestic use only.
-
You can provide a declaration or medical evidence confirming your eligibility (the exact proof required depends on the country).
Please note:
-
VAT exemption does not apply if the scooter is bought for temporary injury, short-term use, or resale.
-
Rules and documentation requirements can vary by EU member state, so always check the local regulations before purchase.

Do I need insurance for a travel mobility scooter?
In most European countries, you do not need insurance for a lightweight, travel mobility scooter, as these are usually considered medical devices rather than motor vehicles. However, the rules can vary depending on the country.
-
In many EU member states, liability insurance is optional but recommended, as it protects you in case of accidental damage or injury to others.
-
For larger or faster scooters, some countries may require registration or insurance.
-
Always check the local regulations of the country where you plan to use your scooter, since requirements can differ across Europe.
While not always legally required, we advise considering at least personal liability insurance for peace of mind during travel.

Are spare parts and accessories available for travel mobility scooters?
Can travel mobility scooters be used on pavements and roads?
Yes, travel mobility scooters can generally be used on pavements (sidewalks) throughout Europe. These scooters are designed for low speeds and safe pedestrian areas, so pavements are their primary use.
-
Pavements/sidewalks: In most European countries, travel scooters are allowed on pavements as long as they do not exceed pedestrian speed (usually around 6 km/h). Users are expected to show consideration for pedestrians.
-
Roads: Small, lightweight travel scooters are not intended for road use. Larger mobility scooters with higher speeds may be permitted on certain roads or cycle paths, but this depends on local laws.
-
Crossings: You may use pedestrian crossings just like someone walking would.
Always check the specific regulations in the country where you are driving, as rules can vary slightly.
