Can the mobility scooter tip over?

Back to Mobility Advice Centre


Unfortunately the answer is yes, any scooter can be tipped over given the right circumstances. The smaller the scooter, the greater the chances of tipping the machine. The larger the scooter, the more stability available.

If the rider has an inner ear problem, for instance, which may affect their balance, better to avoid small, folding scooters and choose something with a bigger ‘footprint’ which will give far greater stability.

Please refer to Kerbs sections in Rider Advice.
