- a condition which the medical profession treats as a chronic sickness.
It does not include an elderly person who is not disabled or chronically sick or any person who is only temporarily disabled or incapacitated, such as with a broken limb.
If you are unsure, you should seek guidance from your GP or other medical professional

What is the difference between the Lupin & Ren mobility scooter?
What is the difference between the Lupin & Ren mobility scooter?
The Lupin and Ren mobility scooters offer distinct features to cater to various preferences and requirements:
- Motor: The Ren is equipped with two motors, potentially providing greater power and performance compared to the single motor of the Lupin.
- Brakes: For enhanced safety and control, the Ren features both front and rear brakes, while the Lupin is equipped with a single rear brake.
- Load Capacity: With a maximum load capacity of 165kg, the Ren is suitable for heavier users, whereas the Lupin supports up to 100kg.
- Weight: Weighing 28kg, the Ren is slightly heavier than the 23kg Lupin. This weight difference can affect portability and manoeuvrability.
- Airline-Friendly: The Lupin can be taken on planes when used with its airline battery. The ren is not suitable for airlines as due to its dual motors, it requires more power to drive.
How does the Lupin fold?
How does the Lupin fold?
The Lupin folds manually for easy storage and transport:
- Start by lowering the seat using the latch located on the back of the seat.
- Next, push down the pin on the handlebar to fold it down.
- Secure the folded scooter by fastening the strap provided, which holds everything in place.
This folding mechanism ensures that the Lupin can be conveniently stored in a compact form when not in use, making it suitable for travel and storage in various spaces.
Can the Lupin be pulled along?
Can the Lupin be pulled along?
Yes, the Lupin features a front drawbar that extends outwards. This drawbar serves dual purposes:
- It can be used to pull the folded Lupin along like a suitcase, facilitating easier transportation in airports, train stations, or other travel settings.
- Additionally, the drawbar can function as an extended footrest when the scooter is in use, providing added comfort for the user.
This feature enhances the practicality and versatility of the Lupin, catering to both mobility needs and travel convenience.
Is the Lupin suitable for taller users?
Is the Lupin suitable for taller users?
Yes, the Lupin can accommodate taller users, although comfort may vary depending on individual preferences and proportions. It's advisable to review the scooter's dimensions, particularly seat height and legroom, to determine suitability:
- The Lupin has been used comfortably by individuals over 6ft tall without reported issues, indicating its adaptability to varying user heights.
- However, taller users may wish to physically assess the scooter or seek additional measurements to ensure an optimal fit and comfort level.
This consideration allows potential users to make informed decisions based on their specific height and comfort requirements.
What type are the Lupin tyres?
What type are the Lupin tyres?
The tyres of the Lupin are pneumatic, meaning they are air-filled. Pneumatic tyres offer several advantages, including:
- Enhanced shock absorption and smoother ride quality, particularly on uneven or rough surfaces.
- Improved traction and stability, promoting safer handling and manoeuvring.
- Adjustable tyre pressure to suit different terrains and user preferences, providing flexibility in performance and comfort.
Pneumatic tyres are commonly favoured for mobility scooters due to their ability to enhance overall comfort and ride experience, making them suitable for various outdoor and indoor environments.
