Advice from the showroom floor
Will the S800 by Scoozy suit you?
For the keen cyclist who is ready for four wheels. The S800 keeps bike-style handlebars with a thumb throttle and a handbrake, then adds four 18-inch wheels, trail tyres and full suspension, so it is as happy on a park trail as on the road. The lithium battery gives up to 31 miles and is heated for frosty mornings. Built as a road scooter, it stays in one piece and lives in a garage or shed.
It is road legal at 8 mph, and registering it with the DVLA is something we do for you. Please call ahead so the model is ready to try.

The S800 by Scoozy in detail
If you have spent years on a bicycle, this will feel familiar. Sunrise Medical's Sterling S800, designed by Scoozy, swaps the usual scooter tiller for handlebars and rides on four large wheels, giving a confident 8 mph machine for town and country.
What you get
- Up to 31 miles (50 km) from the standard lithium battery
- Top speed of 8 mph
- Four 18-inch wheels with trail tyres that grip on mud and wet leaves
- Suspension that smooths out potholes and rough tracks
- Battery heating, so it can be used in freezing weather
- Adjustable captain's seat that swivels
Handlebar controls
Your thumb works the throttle and a lever works the handbrake, just as on an e-bike. Cruise control holds a steady speed on longer stretches. A full-colour LCD shows how much battery is left, and an NFC tag locks and unlocks the scooter.
Room to sit properly
The battery sits beneath the footplate, which frees up legroom and gives a natural seating position. See it at our North West showrooms, where our own engineers look after the 12-month warranty.

Faster than 4 mph
Using the S800 by Scoozy 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.
