Luggie Scooters Reviews 

Shaun Sullivan was lovely smiling rep for Luggie scooters and went through all the points clearly and concisely you need to know and tips to help use the Luggie and how to get it in and out of car and best use of battery. And left good impression of company. Can't wait to get my Luggie scooter Margaret Taylor

Shaun was very knowledgable explained everything in detail .Very pleasant boy no pressure sales talk .Nothing was too much trouble.We are very satisfied customers .

Excelent Service. Very Friendly and helpful. Great product. Very happy!

The girl I spoke to was understanding and new exactly what I wanted

scooter amazing service was excellent.SHAUN the welsh salesman was great no hard sell perfect follow up by him **********10 stars to SHAUN.

Everyone was extremely helpful and friendly from the lady I spoke to on the phone to arrange the home demonstration to Shaun who came to show me the Luggie.
I was shown everything that I would need to know about the Luggie in a professional and friendly way. I tried it out in the house as well as outside. Shaun even showed me the best way of lifting it into my car allowing me to have a go myself.
The Luggie was certainly the easiest and lightest of the mobility scooters I have looked at and I am looking forward to being more independent and mobile

I rang Luggie Scooters with a question about parts for my Luggie Elite scooter. Sophie and Caroline dealt with my request in an efficient and courteous way including sending a .pdf of parts so as to ensure that I could correctly identify the part.

My wife finds the luggie invaluable. Also the customer service is excellent. I wish all companies were like luggie

Very helpful and professional in identifying and dispatching a replacement charging socket for my Luggie. The part was very fairly priced. I am a repeat customer and very happy with the personal friendly service.

Got my independence back,my freedom and safety

The Luggie scooter has been a real “liberator” for my mother. She has access to shops, restaurants, museums, botanical gardens, airports, etc all places that on crutches, she just could not even contemplate before. Last year we went to Budapest together, and we walked and scootered everywhere. We really tested the mileage limit to the max.

Apart from the product being a very special and versatile mobility scooter (in my research the best), the sales demonstration was slick, professional and punctual and the backup service was phenomenal.

We developed a creaky noise which I did not want to send my Mom back with, so I called the service centre thinking that this was going to be a drama, which it was certainly not. They sent a box to pack it into, sent a collection agent and repaired and returned it to my door!!!!! It was really a great experience. Definitely 5 stars!!!

Excellent scooters. Excellent service.

Have taken it on 2 cruises, In Japan they are very organised for less mobile people and we were treated like royalty! Japan is FAB!
We also use for trips to - for example - Birmingham Symphony Hall where the parking is not close.
100% happy!

Compared to other scooters on the market, the price is reasonable to dear. Also, it is not electric folding and It is also heavy.

The luggie scooter is brilliant BUT is let down by the fact that now it is owned with/by Local Mobility and they refuse to sell batteries and spare parts to my local mobility shop. They will give no discount to a local supplier so they can supply a battery to a charity through approved channels - Local Mobility's answer is the other shop should take a hit on mark up or charge the charity more than the retail price

Very disappointed - think I will look at one of the other folding scooters on the market like the Transformer

I bought my Luggie scooter about 6 month ago,I have had several different scooters in the past but non as versatile as this.The lithium battery lasts for ages,I can do at least 4 or 5 shopping trips before recharging,it is comfortable to ride on and easy to drive and manoeuvre round busy shops and streets, and the speed is easy to control.I have a Luggie bag on the back which holds a reasonable amount of shopping.I thought it might be quite complicated to unfold and fold so wrote instructions to keep in my bag,I read them once as folding and unfolding the Luggie is just so easy.It pulls along like a suitcase on wheels when folded, so I can go on public transport and even start going on coach trips again.I would recommend the Luggie to anyone with mobility problems,it has certainly given me more freedom and a better quality of life

I have had my Luggie Elite for a few months and I am loving it. I've never driven a car, having failed my driving test and held off getting a mobility scooter because I was nervous on taking one out and driving it around. How was I going to drive along a pavement, would I be able to reverse it without banging into anything and how would I be able to cross a road? No worries! I phoned up Luggie after watching the demonstrations on Ideal World and along came Shaun, his knowledge on how luggie worked was excellent. He explained everything in a way I could understand, he showed me how to use it, folding it down and then how to put it back up. He took me around the inside of my flat, getting through doors etc.

We then went down to the car park and went through the different speeds and reversing, then out onto the road, he showed how to cross the road safely and how to align the scooter with the crossing. I would never have had such all round instructions and help if I had purchased one from a shop. Shaun even showed my husband and son the best way to put it into the boot of a car. He was so patient, never rushing through it. I've been on a bus with it, folding it easily to take it on board. I drive it into the supermarkets getting up and down isles easily. I can get into spaces that bigger scooters can't right up to the tills to pay.

With my mobility problems a walk to town was a nightmare, it was one or two shops then I had to go home. Not anymore, my Luggie has given me a new lease of life. I can go where I want and as far as I want.... Thankyou Shaun and Luggie for changing my life. To those who were like me, undecided and nervous I say ''Go ahead you will never regret it'' P.S it's onto a plane next!

I had a very simple request for a spare part. It was dealt with extraordinary inefficiency requiring at least 4 phone calls and wrong parts being sent on 2 occasions. The parts are extremely expensive e.g. a very simple small screws (NOT finely engineered) costing between £5 and £10) A rip off from a company dealing with vulnerable disabled people

Excelent company, fast delivery.

The true test of a company is not in how they treat you when they are looking to sell you a mobility aid that costs, literally, thousands of pounds, but how they behave when there is a problem with that £2595 mobility aid in 17 months’ time. And I have to say that Local Mobility/Luggie Scooters has shown a staggering lack of awareness of the difference between lofty ideals and/or advertising puff; and reality.

I did, indeed, purchase that extremely expensive Luggie scooter – partly on the salesmanship, partly on the advertising and the claims on their website; their videos and the booklet that was sent through the post when I phoned to arrange a test. Claims such as the two year warranty (which I see has now increased to five, but…hold that thought I shall come back to it in a little while), the talk of the strong build, the glowing reviews from previous customers (curiosity leads me to wonder how many of them bought a second one), along with the fact that it folded up so wouldn’t constantly be in the way in my very small flat. The fact that I didn’t have to take it apart in order to get it into my car and that the battery didn’t weigh as much as the scooter itself. I ordered the ‘Elite’ model – paying the extra £500 thinking I would get a better quality item. If it would carry an extra 25k in weight, it’s got to be a slightly better build – yes? Apparently not.

Long before the ‘extended warranty’ expired, I came across a big problem with much of the advertising bumf. The fact that the only thing the extended warranty covers is the frame. If anything else goes wrong with the scooter, oh well, that’s tough – you’ve been using it haven’t you. Imagine my surprise when I’m effectively told that I have to expect parts to fail in less than 18 months and it’ll be up to me to get the parts and arrange for them to be fitted.

Despite trying to point out that I’m not physically strong enough to put enough pressure on the handle to snap a cable that is designed to take upwards of 45k breaking strain, those I spoke to at Local Mobility were adamant that either it was ‘wear and tear’ or I’d been heavy handed with the scooter and yanked on the handle which is what caused the cable to break – if I was strong enough to break a cable like that, I wouldn’t have ended up paying another £800 on top of the nearly £2600 to have a hoist put in my car so I wasn’t hurting myself every time I put the scooter in the boot. And trust me, the only way you would be able to put it in the front seat of the car (as per the demo video) is if you didn’t actually need to use a mobility scooter in the first place.

Unfortunately, I was unable to continue to dispute the ‘wear and tear’ assertion because I needed my scooter and couldn’t afford to be without it indefinitely whilst I tried to fight this via the consumer credit act or other consumer protection laws, so reluctantly conceded defeat and accepted their derisory offer of a 50% discount on a replacement part. Something I suspect they rely on to avoid having to actually ‘stand by’ their product. And despite their ‘first class customer service 100% of the time’ and ‘unrivalled after sales service’ (all claims made on their website) they managed to add insult to injury, by taking nearly 2 weeks to send me the part after they’d cashed my cheque. I sent them a cheque on 14th December 2018 and they wasted no time in banking it – it having been cashed by 17 December 18, but then took nearly 2 weeks to post the replacement part to me. As a result of this, I was without my scooter all over Christmas and the new year and even worse, my elderly mother was admitted to hospital on 03 January and I was unable to visit her the whole time she was there because my mobility scooter was out of action and I was still waiting for the replacement part to arrive. The part finally arrived on 05 January and I eventually got my scooter back on the road on 10 January.

So – in summary; before you think about purchasing a Luggie scooter consider these things. Do you have not only the £2000+ for the initial purchase of your scooter, but a further (now) £700+ plus returning the scooter to Local Mobility every year for 5 years to have it serviced to maintain the warranty (although that can be reduced by £90 a year if you have the Luggie serviced by your local mobility aid dealer – a fact that they will reluctantly share with you only if you decline to send the scooter back to them because you’ve got no money left), which will only cover the frame anyway. Then there’s the £800 or more that you will need to pay to have a hoist installed in your car if you intend to go a little further afield or need to get somewhere at more than 4mph. It’s all very well praising the fact that this is a ‘lightweight’ scooter and compared to many it is – but it’s still too heavy for the average disabled person to get into the boot of a car without hurting or injuring yourself and then there’s the cost of having replacement parts fitted. The repair I needed cost me approximately £13 for the part inc postage (at a 50% discount) plus another £46 having the scooter picked up and for my local mobility store to fit it for me (further discount applied to pick up charges because I collected it from them once it was repaired).

Do you live close enough to Local Mobility to be able to deliver the Luggie to them when it needs servicing or repairing? If you don’t, you’re either looking at £90 return postage (assuming it will fold properly and you know someone who can get it in a box for you) or waiting weeks for parts to be dispatched and getting the scooter booked in somewhere else for the repair.

And, if it’s standard practice for the tiller cable to snap in less than 18 months – what else is going to break in the next 18 months? My confidence in my scooter and Local Mobility has been totally demolished. They do not stand by their product. Their customer service leaves an awful lot to be desired and their after sales service is appalling.

I can guarantee that I will not be recommending a Luggie scooter to anyone else (and I know of at least one sale that was made on my recommendation) and when the time comes for me to replace my scooter, I shall save myself a lot of money and distress and buy something cheaper from much, much closer to home. You might want to consider it, too.
