Small scooters (also known as Class 2 scooters) can be ridden on pavements. Some portable scooters can even be dismantled so that they can fit into your car boot. The smaller they are, the easier they can be used indoors and transported. The speed limit for this type of scooter is 4mph.

Larger scooters (also known as Class 3 scooters) can go on the road. They are generally more powerful and more suited to travelling long distances. The speed limit for this type of scooter is 8mph.
