A Look at the Gatsby Vintage Automobile Style Luxury Mobility Scooter

A mobility scooter does not have to be boring and the Gatsby Vintage Automobile Style Luxury Mobility Scooter is all the proof you need.

However, this mobility device is not simply for show. The Gatsby Vintage Automobile Style Luxury Mobility Scooter is designed to be your constant companion wherever you may go. With the Gatsby Vintage Automobile Style Luxury Mobility Scooter, comfort and sophistication is at every turn. From the time you load into the device with its amazingly comfortable swivel seat and throughout your ride, everything is at your fingertips. The tiller has been fully configured to be ergonomic and manageable in every way. The wrap-around handlebar system allows you to control the device with one or both hands and all controls are within easy reach. The Gatsby Vintage Automobile Style Luxury Mobility Scooter is also not a sluggish device. It has the ability to carry a 350lb. person up to 28 miles on a single charge at a speed of 10mph. If that speed is too fast, the variable speed control system allows a user to adjust the speed to a comfortable level. You will also be happy to know, this device offers substantial, lockable storage at the front, so if you are heading out for the day, you can easily secure valuables along the way.

Fully Adjustable Seating

Mobility challenged individuals often find it difficult to get into and out of traditional mobility scooters. The designers of the Gatsby Vintage Automobile Style Luxury Mobility Scooter have solved this problem by adding a fully adjustable seat. The seat swivels in either direction to allow the user easy access to the mobility device. Once the user is comfortably situated, they have the ability to move the seat back or forward to allow for optimal leg room and the back rest reclines, so you can have the most comfortable ride imaginable on any outing.

How fast does the Gatsby Vintage go?

At full speed, you can reach 10 mph top speed. Gatsby Vintage models have a half speed setting, for confined areas, and a full speed setting for when you want to go fast. You will find some other brands offer scooters that go faster than this, however high quality brands put a high emphasis on safety too. In order for a mobility scooter to go faster than around 10 mph, heavy investment must be made to ensure it stays just as safe. For this reason, the more reputable and safe a brand, the more they cap the top speed of their mobility scooters.

How long do the Gatsby Vintage batteries last per charge? How many years of use can I get out of the batteries?

Battery running time per charge is measured in miles as opposed to time i.e. how many miles can a fully charged set of batteries take the scooter? The answer depends on the user’s weight as well as the kind of terrain the scooter is operated upon. However, manufacturers try to take an average of these factors so you can get an idea. Gatsby is pretty honest in the figure they give, unlike other manufacturers who exaggerate and bloat their figures. For a Gatsby with range batteries, the batteries last: 28 miles. The lifetime of your Gatsby C batteries is approximately 2 years, but very much depends on how much you use your scooter and whether you take good care of your batteries. The cost of replacing Gatsby Vintage batteries is approximately $300. Note: It doesn’t matter which batteries you initially bought your scooter with, you can change whenever you want.

What kind of batteries are used in the Gatsby Vintage?

This mobility scooter generally uses gel-cell Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) batteries. These batteries are maintenance free, meaning you don’t need to add water to them or anything like that. They happily stay under their shroud for the duration of their lifetime and you shouldn’t need to do anything to them at all.

I’m a tall person. Will there be enough legroom for me in the Gatsby Vintage?

The distance from seat to tiller on the Gatsby Vintage is above average when compared with other scooters of this type. You can also slide the seat right back to its furthest position and ask to have the seat post set to the highest position so your long legs have more room. We are personally happy to recommend the Vintage to anyone up to 6’1” tall. If you are taller than this, please call us to get further information 1-888-233-5563.

How much weight can the Gatsby Vintage carry?

The weight capacity of the Gatsby Vintage mobility scooter is 350 lbs.

How big is the Gatsby Vintage? Will it fit indoors and how sharp does it turn?

The Vintage is a large mobility scooter. It measures 61” by 26”. It will fit through most front doors, but is not intended for use around the house. You can drive it indoors to keep it safe and leave it close to the front door. As far as stores are concerned, you can use it in large stores such as Walmart and in malls, but it may not fit in smaller supermarkets. The Vintage has a turning radius of 75.5”.

Options & Upgrades

Accessories

How do I add accessories to the Vintage Gatsby? Which Accessories are available?

A full list of accessories can be seen in the options and upgrades for this product HERE.

Do you offer any free accessories with the Vintage Gatsby?

Yes! We offer an armrest saddle bag free with every Vintage purchase.

Will the accessories ship together and installed on the Vintage Gatsby?

With standard delivery, accessories are not assembled on the scooter at time of delivery. With white glove delivery, Vintage accessories will be attached and Diestco accessories can be attached by request.

How to Purchase & What's Included

Why is the Gatsby Vintage so expensive?

We sell all our scooters at the minimum price (MAP) the manufacturer allows us to advertise for. If we advertise for cheaper, we could be prosecuted. This means we are cheaper or at the same price as all dealers complying with the rules. If you find another site selling for cheaper, we will price match, so long as they are within MAP. Scooters can be expensive because of the following reasons: Gatsby Vintage is a premium brand that has a strong focus on top-notch luxury and very quality components. The motors on these scooters are very powerful, they are really built to last, and the warranty policy is the best in the industry. In addition, the recent skyrocketing of shipping prices, coupled with rising inflation, have made these scooters significantly more expensive than they were, say one year ago. We do offer cheaper scooters by other brands, but if quality and comfort are your most important priorities, we highly recommend the Gatsby brand.

Does Medicare/Medicaid or private insurance help pay for the Gatsby Vintage?

Many heavy-duty/recreational mobility scooters do not qualify as medical devices under Medicare/Medicaid and private insurance strict rules. Though you might be disabled and using the device in a full medical sense, Medicare/Medicaid and private insurance seem to want to save as much money as they can, and do so by making the rules about which models qualify very strict. You might have spent significant time trying to find a Medicare/Medicaid provider online, to no avail. This is because it’s actually very hard for dealers to become Medicare providers, again making it hard for patients to get free scooters, again saving the insurance money. We don’t work with Medicare. We also do not bill private insurances directly. Some private insurances may reimburse you outside of Medicare’s framework. To check if your insurer does this, we recommend contacting them directly and asking. If they say yes, we’re happy to provide invoices/proof of purchases so you can get your money back from your insurer. Here’s a full disclaimer with regard to Medicare/Medicaid: Notice to Medicare/Medicaid Beneficiaries. Medicare will pay for medical equipment and supplies only if a supplier has a Medicare supplier number. Heavy Duty Mobility does not have a Medicare supplier number. Medicare will not pay for any medical equipment and supplies we sell or rent to you. You will be personally and fully responsible for payment.

What do I need to do to purchase the Gatsby Vintage scooter online/over the phone?

To purchase over the phone, simply call our toll-free number 1-888-233-5563 and we can help you from there. If you are sure about the model you want, all we would need is your payment method (easiest is credit card or cash/checking account card) and your shipping address. If you aren’t quite sure which model to choose, we can offer suggestions and advice to your heart’s content - until you’re perfectly satisfied.

What happens after my order for the Gatsby Vintage is placed?

After your order for the Vintage is placed, you will see a screen that looks like this one:
You will also receive an email confirmation, detailing the item you brought and the price you paid. The email will come from: support@heavydutymobility.com. Your email confirmation will contain instructions regarding delivery, please read these carefully. As soon as your item ships, we will send you an email containing a tracking link. Clicking on this link will allow you to track the shipping progress of your scooter. The vast majority of Gatsby shipments are done through R&L carriers rlcarriers.com. If you chose standard, curbside delivery at checkout: The shipping company will call you to schedule a delivery appointment - you don’t have to take the first day available - you can delay receiving your scooter for a couple of days if that works better for you. We will also provide you with their number so you can call to preemptively arrange an appointment, or incase they fail to call you. The shipping company will call you usually within an hour of delivery, to let you prepare yourself at the curbside nearest to your home. The truck (very often an 18-wheeler) will deposit your scooter on the curbside, on a wooden crate. For more info on unpacking, see the question below “How does the Vintage arrive, is any setup required?” If you choose White Glove Delivery at checkout: The scooter will be sent to a technician in your area for setup. Once they have set it up (usually 1-2 business days), they will give you a call to arrange delivery. You have paid for a premium service, so here you can really ask the tech to deliver at any time that suits you, delay for some time if you aren’t ready for delivery, etc. If in doubt, just call us at 1-888-233-5563. At the time of delivery appointment, the local technician will bring the scooter right into your house, wherever you want it. In most cases, the tech will be able to advise you on how to operate the scooter.

Shipping, Warranty & Returns

Shipping

How long from the time of order until I get my Gatsby Vintage mobility scooter?

This very much depends on two factors: the stock status above and how far you are from New Jersey, where most Gatsby ship out from. Bear in mind, different colors of the same model can have different stock statuses. Also bear in mind that if you add certain customizations, these can increase the time it takes for the team to assemble your scooter at the warehouse. The stock status for this scooter can be seen just under the product title at the top of the page.
  • This item can ship out as soon as the same business day the order is placed. Once shipped out, you can expect a transit time 4-5 business days. Please note these are indicative times and can vary based on how far you are from the supplier warehouse and the volume of orders being received. Also note that upgrades or extra accessory additions to your order may require extra time for installation.
  • If an Gatsby is showing LEAD TIME with a number of weeks indicated, the estimated ship out time is that lead time plus standard ship out and transit time indicated in the paragraph above.

    [xyz-ihs snippet="Live-Chat"]

    Please note, we have excellent relationships with our suppliers/manufacturers. If we are showing an item as having a lead time, it’s almost certainly the same for other dealers who might not have the most up-to-date information on the websites and may show the item as having a lead time.

  • If an Gatsby is showing OUT OF STOCK above, please contact us for more details. You can call us at [xyz-ihs snippet="Live-Chat-three"]

    Please note, we have excellent relationships with our suppliers/manufacturers. If we are showing an item as out of stock, it’s almost certainly the same for other dealers who might not have the most up-to-date information on the websites and may show the item as in stock.

Why are there such long lead times on some mobility scooters?

Covid has dealt a horrible blow to pretty much every industry on the planet. Right from mining materials to processing them to the factories that produce parts, shipping and freight companies - at every stage of the chain there are workforce shortages and severe delays.

My Gatsby Vintage mobility scooter is showing a long lead time above. Why should I buy a scooter now if in any case I won’t get it right away?

Unfortunately, the way things are nowadays, with delays across the entire supply chain, if you wait until there is no lead time on your scooter, you might end up waiting forever. As soon as new stock comes in, it is assigned to orders that were already placed, sometimes weeks in advance. We don’t know how soon the situation will get better - and it may actually get worse before getting better again.

For this reason, customers are placing their orders as soon as they are able, to be placed on the list for as soon as the next scooters are ready to ship.

Where will my Gatsby Vintage mobility scooter ship from?

Gatsby generally ship from the main warehouse at West Deptford, New Jersey.

Who will ship my Gatsby Vintage mobility scooter?

Gatsby are almost always shipped by R&L Carriers - a freight and trucking company. In most instances, your scooter is delivered by 18-wheeler, unless you choose white glove delivery.

How will my Gatsby Vintage mobility scooter arrive – is any setup required?

If you choose white glove delivery, your scooter will be 100% ready to ride. With standard delivery, the scooter is pretty much assembled ready to ride, including batteries which are preinstalled.

How do I book a delivery appointment slot for my Gatsby Vintage mobility scooter?

The shipping company delivering your scooter will call you to arrange delivery. We will also give you their number so you can call them to preemptively arrange an appointment.

What if I miss my delivery appointment slot for my Gatsby Vintage mobility scooter?

If you miss your delivery appointment, the shipping company will usually take your scooter back to their local terminal in your area and try to reschedule an appointment. There is usually no charge for one extra appointment. Please contact us to keep us in the loop if you do miss your appointment so we can ensure the scooter isn’t sent all the way back to the place of origin.

What if my order hasn’t arrived by the time it was supposed to?

Especially since Covid, which made the truck driver shortage issue even worse than it was, your shipment might be delayed. If this happens, please call us 1-888-233-5563, or the number of the shipping company we provide you with so you can get an update on your shipping status.

What happens if my order for an Gatsby Vintage mobility scooter is damaged?

  • When your scooter arrives, do not sign any forms until you have opened the boxes and ascertained that everything is as it should be.
  • If the external boxes are damaged, make sure to note this next to your signature. Make sure to inspect the contents before signing.
  • If your scooter is damaged in a way that the entire scooter needs to be replaced, just refuse the entire delivery.
  • If your scooter is damaged in a way that a spare part needs to be sent out and installed (eg a broken mirror), accept the delivery, and list any damaged items next to your signature.
  • If you find damage after having signed for delivery without any damage notes, this can be really problematic as the shipping company may try to shift the blame onto you. This is why it’s important to check for damage, especially if the outside boxes are damaged.

What happens if my Gatsby Vintage mobility scooter breaks down?

If your scooter malfunctions, please contact us.

Sometimes we are able to troubleshoot with you over the phone to fix the issue. In other cases, it’s a matter of shipping out a simple part, say if a knob needs replacing, under warranty conditions.

If your purchased an in-home warranty service avalaible as an upgrade at time of purchasing the scooter), we will send out a technician to your home to repair your scooter within 1 year of purchase. This includes everything besides wear & tear (such as seat wear, flat tire etc.) and the batteries.

Depending on your location, it might take a few days to locate a local technician, arrange an appointment etc. This warranty service is not intended as an emergency breakdown service. If you are stuck and need urgent help, call 911.

Please note, it’s really important we don’t send technicians out for nothing, so to be open with you from the start, we will let you know that if a technician comes out for a problem which isn’t under warranty or was a user error, you may be charged for this visit.

Do I call you or the manufacturer if my Gatsby Vintage mobility scooter breaks down?

Contact us before contacting the manufacturer.

How long does the warranty on Gatsby Vintage mobility scooter last for? What’s included/excluded from the warranty?

The in-home warranty on all Gatsby mobility scooters is for 1 year from date of purchase.

You can also add one extra year of this service as an optional upgrade HERE.

What can I do after the warranty period? Can I get spare parts for Gatsby Vintage mobility scooter? Who repairs these scooters and where?

After the warranty period, you are still welcome to contact us at any time.

Parts are available through us or the manufacturer, though you will be charged for these.

If you need someone to install parts or for other labor services post-warranty, the same local technicians that repair your scooter under warranty can do so at a charge post-warranty.
