Leasing a Scooter

If you receive the enhanced mobility component of PIP, you can use it to lease a mobility scooter through the Motability Scheme rather than buying outright.

As a Motability-approved dealer, we supply a carefully selected range of Motability scooters that meet strict standards for safety, reliability, comfort, and long-term support. These are not budget scooters — every model on the scheme has been independently approved before it is allowed onto Motability.

A Motability scooter lease covers far more than just the scooter itself. It includes servicing, repairs, breakdown cover, tyres, batteries, and full insurance for the entire lease period. That peace of mind is why many people searching for a PIP scooter or government mobility scheme scooter choose Motability instead of purchasing privately.

We support Motability customers across Kent and carry out full assessments to make sure the scooter is right for your needs, your lifestyle, and your environment.

Leasing a Powerchair

If you need greater support, indoor manoeuvrability, or advanced seating and control options, a Motability powerchair may be the better choice.

We supply Motability powerchairs for customers using PIP to lease a wheelchair that provides everyday independence, both indoors and outdoors. All powerchairs on the Motability Scheme meet higher standards for stability, electronics, durability, and manufacturer support — and dealers like us are approved and monitored to ensure those standards are maintained.

For people searching online for PIP powerchair, lease powerchair, or use benefits for powerchair, Motability often provides a safer and more cost-effective route than buying privately, especially once insurance, servicing, and repairs are taken into account.

Our assessments focus on real-world use: posture, transfers, access at home, transport, and long-term comfort — not just the spec sheet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I eligible to join?

Joining the scheme is easy, but you must be in receipt of the correct award from the DWP. Check your eligibility to make sure you are in receipt of the correct benefit -Click Here

I am eligible - what next?

Yippee! Let's get the ball rolling. The first step is to give us a ring on 01233 222144 and tell us you are looking at joining the Motability Scheme. Our specialists will ask you a few questions to help us work out which team will handle your application.

What is an assessment?

The word 'assessment' can sound scary but don't worry, there's no tests! The assessment is an opportunity for us to ask you questions about you, and a chance for you to ask questions about us and the products we may recommend. It's also a great chance to try different products out and even take them for a drive. A typical scooter assessment can take one hour, while a bespoke powerchair assessment can take two hours.

Can I bring my friend or carer?

Yes - absolutely! If this person is also responsible for managing your benefits paperwork they will need to attend to help you with the application.

Where do I need to go for my assessment?

We are based in Ashford at Unit 3, St John's Court, Ashford Retail Park, Ashford, Kent, TN24 0SJ.
Don't forget though, we are just as happy to come to you if you'd prefer. Make sure you let us know your preference.

What sort of proof do I need to bring?

You must show us a copy of your most recent benefits award. This must include your full name and address, your national insurance number, the type of benefit you receive and whether you have an indefinite award or whether you have a reassessment date planned.
You do not need to prove to us that you have a disability. It may be helpful on the day though to tell us about the nature or your disability or illness so we can best advise you.

How long does the application process take?

Once your assessment is completed and you have chosen a product your application is submitted to Motability for approval. This usually takes up to three working days.
Once your application is approved we will then order you a brand new Scooter or Powerchair. Scooters typically take one week and powerchairs take four weeks.
Once your product arrives with us it is checked by the relevant team and then we call you or email you to arrange a handover date

Do I receive any paperwork?

Yes, you will receive a Welcome Pack in the post or by email (depending on your preferences) from Motability once your application has been approved.

Can I cancel my contract?

The Motability Scheme enables you to lease a powerchair or scooter. This means you enter a contract for 3 years.
If you have a serious change in medical circumstances you will be able to terminate your contract early without penalty. If you terminate your contract for any other reason you may be liable to an early termination fee and may not be able to re-apply for another product through us.

The Motability Scheme: Explained

The Motability Scheme is a government-backed mobility leasing scheme that allows eligible people to exchange the enhanced mobility component of PIP for a scooter or powerchair.

Comparing a Motability lease to a one-off purchase price doesn’t account for what’s included within the scheme. Motability bundles insurance, maintenance, repairs, tyres, batteries, and breakdown cover into a single weekly cost.

A Motability scooter or powerchair lease typically includes:

  • The scooter or powerchair itself
  • Full insurance for the entire lease
  • Servicing and routine maintenance
  • Repairs caused by wear or fault
  • Tyres and batteries when required
  • Breakdown cover
  • Specially trained dealer support
  • A fixed-term lease with no resale risk

Because Motability only accepts products that meet minimum thresholds for quality and reliability — and only works with approved, audited dealers — the scheme adds a layer of protection that private purchases simply don’t offer.

At the end of the lease, the equipment is returned and you can reassess your needs, upgrade, or change direction as your mobility changes.
