QDo I need to register my mobility scooter with the DVLA?
AOnly Class 3 vehicles (with a maximum speed of 8mph) must be registered with the DVLA. The DVLA will then issue you with a “nil duty” tax disc (meaning you don’t have to pay vehicle tax on the scooter) which you are legally required to display on your mobility scooter. You can order the forms needed to register your Class 3 scooter from the DVLA. This information was sourced from GOV UK in September 2019.

The UK Government website states “You do not need insurance for a mobility scooter or powered wheelchair, although it’s recommended”. (August 2023).
Despite no legal requirement, you may want to take out insurance for your scooter to protect you if the scooter is damaged, stolen or broken down.
-
QDo you need a licence to ride a mobility scooter?
ANo. You do not need take a test or have a driving license to use a mobility scooter. The law states that only disabled people may use Class 2 or Class 3 scooters (unless the user is conducting a sales demonstration). You do not need to be registered disabled, but must have a physical disability, injury or medical condition which means you cannot, or have difficulty, walking.
