Merits Health Pioneer 3-Wheel Mobility Scooter

At full speed, you can reach 5 mph.

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.

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.

Please take these manufacturer figures with a grain of salt, bearing in mind manufacturers may test their scooters in optimum conditions you won’t find in real life.

For a Merits Pioneer 3 mobility scooter, the batteries last: 18 miles.

The lifetime of your Pioneer 3 batteries is approximately 3 years, but very much depends on how much you use your scooter and whether you take good care of your batteries.

Lithium-ion batteries can be expensive to replace, please be in contact with us for a quote.

The Merits Pioneer 3 has a high ground clearance of 4". And with its powerful motor, it will do very well on grass, gravel, and dirt paths.

• Rain: It’s OK and safe if you get caught in the rain once in a while, or go through an occasional puddle, but you should try to avoid a trip if you know it’s going to rain.
• Snow and ice: We cannot take responsibility for using the scooter in these kinds of weather conditions.
• Cold weather: Fine, though it does negatively impact the battery's health and lifetime.
• Wind: Generally not an issue unless very strong winds could tip the scooter over. If you have a mobility scooter with a canopy, remember, very strong winds can act as a sail to tip over your scooter.
• Hot sun: No issue as far as the scooter is concerned. Remember to take along ample hydration!
