Motion Healthcare's new Airium Mobility Scooter is larger than a typical boot scooter, benefiting from increased stability and comfort thanks to its larger size. It has large 9 inch wheels with a super-soft tyre compound that combines with suspension for a much more comfortable ride than found on typical small boot scooters. Other luxury features include a comfortably padded seat with width-adjustable armrests, and an ergonomic delta handlebar.
The Airium notably has a higher weight capacity than other aluminium-framed scooters, and is able to cater to people up to 21.4 stone in comfort.
The aluminium frame means the heaviest part weighs just 13.6 kg, far lighter than equivalent steel-framed scooters. It can be quickly and easily dismantled into four pieces, ideal for transport in the back of a car. It also has an ultra-light lithium battery that provides an impressive range of 25 miles.
Our Verdict
The Airium is the most comfortable aluminium-framed scooter yet released, and allows those who want a more comfortable scooter for longer journeys, or those who need a higher weight capacity, to enjoy the benefits of a light scooter. It is more expensive than steel-framed equivalents such as TGA's Zest Plus and Pride's Revo 2.0, but so much easier to lift.
