Advice from the showroom floor
Will the eMove 8 suit you?
A straightforward, sturdy scooter from Motion's Essentials range, for riders who want the basics done well. Suspension and air-filled tyres give a cushioned ride over paving and dropped kerbs, the rotating captain's seat turns to help you on and off, and a front light helps on dull days. It comes apart into lighter sections for the car or for storage, and it charges on board, so you plug in wherever it is parked.
Bring your car and we will take it apart and check the pieces fit your boot before you buy. Please call ahead so the model is ready to try.

The eMove 8 in detail
Sensible, solid and simple to live with. Motion's eMove 8 belongs to the Essentials range, which concentrates on the features riders use every day and builds them to last.
What you get
- Suspension paired with pneumatic tyres for a softer ride
- Rotating captain's seat with proper support
- Dismantles into lighter components for transport and storage
- Onboard charging, with no need to remove the batteries
- Front light
- Dependable 38 Ah sealed lead-acid (SLA) batteries
Comfort
Air in the tyres and springs underneath make a real difference on patched pavements and cobbles. The captain's seat swivels, so you can turn to face a table or step off sideways instead of climbing over the tiller.
Taking it with you
When it needs to travel, it separates into sections that are easier to handle than the whole scooter. Our North West showroom staff will show you how it comes apart, and our own engineers look after the 12-month warranty.

Using the eMove 8 on the road
Anything that goes above 4 mph is a class 3 vehicle. You do not need a driving licence, and there is no vehicle tax to pay. The rules are short:
- It must be registered with the DVLA. Registration is free, and we complete it for you when you buy.
- You must be 14 or over to drive it.
- Keep to 4 mph on pavements and in pedestrian areas. The higher speed is for the road only.
- Not on motorways, in bus lanes or in cycle lanes, and avoid dual carriageways with a limit over 50 mph.
- Insurance is not a legal requirement, but it is strongly recommended.

Questions people ask us in the shop
Do I need a licence, tax or insurance?
No driving licence and no vehicle tax. Because it goes faster than 4 mph it must be registered with the DVLA, which is free, and we complete that for you when you buy. Insurance is not a legal requirement, but we strongly recommend it.
Can I try it before I buy?
Yes. Just walk in to any of our 9 North West showrooms, or call first and we will have this model ready for you. If you cannot get to us and you live in the North West, we will bring it to your home for a free demonstration.
What happens if it breaks down?
It comes with a 12-month warranty, looked after by our own engineers. For a warranty repair we collect it and bring it back free of charge across mainland UK. After that, we service and repair at any showroom or at your home.
Can I part exchange my old one?
Yes. Bring your old scooter or powerchair to any showroom and we will value it there and then, with up to £400 off your new one. We can also give a price by phone, confirmed when we see it.
Do I have to pay VAT?
Not if the person it is for has a long-term illness or disability and it is for their own personal use. The price shown already has VAT relief applied. You confirm that you qualify once, with a short declaration in your cart. There is nothing to send to HMRC.
Can I get it on the Motability Scheme?
Yes, this model is available through the Scheme. If you receive a qualifying mobility allowance you can use it to lease this instead of buying, with insurance, servicing and breakdown cover included. Sign up in any showroom or call us.
How will it be delivered?
Most people choose engineer delivery for £79: it arrives inspected and assembled, with a full demonstration, and we take the packaging away. Free courier delivery to the kerbside is also available.
