Johannesburg

Known as the economic heart of South Africa, Johannesburg combines fast-paced urban life with leafy suburbs and sprawling shopping centres. Traffic, wide roads, and dynamic weather conditions demand scooters that are rugged, long-range, yet agile for indoor use.

Best city scooter: CTM HS559 Road Mobility Scooter

The HS559 is suited to Johannesburg living—offering stability on uneven pavement and sprinkling of speed for commuting between malls, parks, and clinics. LED lighting, indicators, and suspension make it safe and comfortable.

Perfect for public transport and workplace environments

While the HS559 isn’t transportable without a vehicle ramp, commuters living in suburban areas will find it reliable. For irregular use, the HS328 Travel Scooter offers quick disassembly for easy storage at the office.

Indoor-accessible option: Mobie Folding Mobility Scooter

For users primarily navigating offices or shopping centres, the Mobie offers compact storage and smooth navigation through corridors and lifts.

East London

East London’s coastal charm and slower pace make it ideal for balanced outdoor and indoor mobility. Seafront promenades, shopping districts, and leafy neighbourhoods call for a scooter that handles both.

Preferred model: CTM HS328 Travel Mobility Scooter

The HS328 is perfect for East London residents wanting greater outdoor range without sacrificing storage convenience. Its battery allows for park visits followed by local mall trips without multiple charging stops.

Flat-specific option: Transformer Folding Scooter

If you live in a beachfront apartment or retirement complex, the Transformer is an excellent choice—compact, automatic folding, and easy to store indoors.

Road-use for active exploration

For more adventurous users who enjoy exploring the beaches or going further afield, the HS559 provides stability and longer range for day-long outings along the coast.

Durban

Durban’s warm coastal climate and well-developed promenade make it a scooter-friendly city year-round. The golden mile walkway and beachfront attractions offer excellent riding opportunities for mobility scooter users.

Top pick: CTM HS559 Road Mobility Scooter

Built for the beachfront, the HS559 navigates paving stones with comfort and can ride for extended periods thanks to its solid battery life. LED lights enhance safety during early evening outings.

Mid-range option: CTM HS328 Travel Mobility Scooter

Perfect for those living in apartments in Glenmore or Glenashley, the HS328 offers disassembly for vehicle transport and storage, while still providing enough stability for promenade riding.

Compact indoor scooter: Mobie Folding Mobility Scooter

Ideal for retirement villages or flat complexes near the beach, the Mobie allows users to safely ride indoors and store their scooter conveniently.

Bloemfontein

Bloemfontein blends city bustle with peaceful parks and historic venues. It’s a manageable city with accessible roads and inclusive public spaces—and one that’s perfect for riders who want to explore cultural landmarks and tranquil gardens.

Ideal road scooter: CTM HS559 Road Mobility Scooter

The HS559 is excellent for riding through larger green spaces like Naval Hill and Free State National Botanical Garden. Its suspension smooths out gentle inclines and uneven paths.

Comfortable everyday model: CTM HS328 Travel Mobility Scooter

Fits well into residents’ lives—commuting to local shops on Basotho Market days, visiting the Boyd Museum, or attending events at the Maselspoort Drinking Fountain facility.

Indoor/off-grid option: Transformer Folding Mobility Scooter

Suitable for flat living or townhouses, the Transformer combines indoor convenience with enough range to visit local sites comfortably.

Top 3 Places in Bloemfontein to Visit on Your Mobility Scooter

Free State National Botanical Garden

This peaceful and well-maintained garden is a favourite among locals for good reason. With paved pathways that wind through indigenous plant collections, shaded seating areas, and accessible picnic spots, it’s a perfect destination for a gentle afternoon outing. The terrain is friendly for mobility scooter users, allowing easy navigation through floral displays, rock features, and bird-watching zones. There are also accessible restrooms and a small café onsite for a convenient tea break.

Loch Logan Waterfront

Centrally located and fully accessible, Loch Logan Waterfront offers more than just shopping. Its smooth walkways and wide open-air spaces are ideal for mobility scooter users looking to enjoy a scenic ride by the water. Whether you’re grabbing lunch at a wheelchair-friendly café, catching a film at the cinema, or simply enjoying people-watching by the lake, this spot balances urban convenience with outdoor charm. Parking and entrances are scooter-friendly, and the entire complex is built for ease of movement.

Naval Hill Nature Reserve and Franklin Game Reserve

This unique reserve inside the city offers a panoramic lookout with paved observation points—perfect for users on mobility scooters. You can ride up to the giant statue of Nelson Mandela, take in sweeping views of Bloemfontein, and possibly spot giraffes, zebras, and antelope along the way. While the game reserve area is best viewed from designated lookout zones, scooter users will still enjoy the serenity and open feel of this rare urban nature experience.

Polokwane

Polokwane’s mix of urban expansion and agricultural outskirts makes it important to have a scooter that is both compact and capable of mild outdoor riding.

Recommended model: CTM HS328 Travel Mobility Scooter

The HS328 handles a mix of suburban drives and mall use, breaking down for car storage and providing good all-day range.

Suburban or rural choice: CTM HS559 Road Mobility Scooter

If you live outside the centre, potholes or gravel roads are no challenge for the HS559. With its suspension and long battery life, it covers town-to-town travel comfortably.

Apartment option: Mobie Folding Mobility Scooter

For seniors in apartment complexes near city centre Polokwane, the Mobie is compact enough for shared indoor spaces and easy to manoeuvre.

Mobility Scooters and Everyday South African Life

Balancing portability, power and storage

South African cities vary: from Johannesburg’s commercial density to Durban’s beachfront leisure, Bloemfontein’s cultural landscape, East London’s suburban calm, and Polokwane’s blend of township and community life. Mr. Mobility’s range ensures every scooter matches both lifestyle and locale:

– Mobie Folding Scooter is perfect for tight indoor spaces and occasional outdoor use
– Transformer Automatic Scooter blends compact design with effortless folding and scooter-on-demand
– HS328 Travel Scooter fills the gap between portability and performance, ideal for indoor/outdoor versatility
– HS559 Road Scooter provides reliability and comfort across suburban and city routes
– HS-890 Road Scooter is for those wanting extended range and premium ride quality outdoors

How to Select the Right Scooter for You

Consider where you live and ride

In urban apartments or retirement units, folding models like the Mobie or Transformer work best for indoor storage and quick trips.

In suburbs or coastal areas, the HS328 travel model provides greater range and refined control for daily errands and promenade excursions.

In larger towns like Johannesburg or Polokwane, which may have more uneven roads, the HS559 offers rugged reliability and comfortable range for extended use.

Reflect on your daily routine and storage

Pick a scooter small enough to store at home, but powerful enough to cover your day-to-day distance. Our folding and disassemblable models simplify storage and charging, while road scooters offer comfort for longer journeys.

Factor in battery range and charging

Folding and travel scooters recharge easily indoors with standard wall plugs. Road models may need overnight charging near your storage area or garage but are designed to last a day of use with proper battery care.
