A person is 'chronically sick or disabled' if he or she is a person with either:

  • a physical or mental impairment which has a long term and substantial adverse effect upon his or her ability to carry out everyday activities or
  • 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

FOLDING & UNFOLDING

Unfolding the Lupin Mobility Scooter:

  1. Strap: Remove the securing strap.
  2. Unfold the handlebar: Push the handlebar upwards to its full height.
    Lift the pin to lock it in place. Ensure it's properly aligned by checking from the front view.
  3. Raise the seat: Open the latch on the back of the seat with one hand.
    With your other hand, grip the top of the seat and pull upwards. Release the latch; the seat will click into place.

Folding the Lupin Mobility Scooter:

  1. Lower the seat: Locate the latch on the back of the seat. Pull the latch with one hand and hold it open. Simultaneously, guide the seat downwards with your other hand.
  2. Fold the handlebar: Push down the pin on the handlebar. Gently fold the handlebar in half, resting it on top of the seat.
  3. Secure the folded scooter: Use the provided strap to fasten all components together. This prevents the seat from opening when the scooter is in an upright position.

Important Safety Note:

  • Never place your hand under the seat during folding or unfolding, as this is a pinch point that could cause injury.
  • This folding mechanism allows the Lupin to be conveniently stored in a compact form, making it ideal for travel and storage in various spaces. Always ensure all components are securely locked before use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Lupin airline friendly?

Yes, the Lupin can be made airline-friendly by purchasing the airline-compatible battery option, which has a capacity of 288Wh. This option can be found on our accessories page.

Airlines typically have specific regulations regarding batteries, so it's essential to check with your airline to ensure compliance with their policies.

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?

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?

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?

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?

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.
