Featuring a simple frame separation feature that allows you to disassemble your scooter with only one hand. The Pride GoGo Elite Traveller Sport easily disassembles into five super-lightweight pieces for convenient transport and storage either in the car or on public transport, allowing the Pride GoGo Elite Traveller Sport to stay portable every step of the way. Plus, the heaviest part of scooter when it is disassembled is just 20kg, making it much more manageable. Making the Pride GoGo Elite Traveller Sport even more convenient is the off board charging option that allows you to bring your batteries inside for overnight charging, without needing to bring the whole scooter. Leave your scooter in the boot and be ready to go straight away the next day.

Customise Your Mobility

The Pride GoGo Elite Traveller Sport Includes a set of easily changeable red & blue panels. Being one of the only compact mobility scooters to have this feature, you will be able to change the colour of your scooter to your liking. The panels just clip on and off so you can quickly change the colours depending on how you feel.

Premium Comfort

Stay comfortable every step of the way with the Pride GoGo Elite Traveller Sport's Foldable swivel seat that offers a generous amount of cushioning, so you do not experience any discomfort even after prolonged periods. The seat is upholstered in an easy clean black vinyl material so you can keep your scooter looking clean and new. Enhancing your comfort even further is the delta tiller that features ergonomic wraparound handles that allow you to rest your wrists on long journeys. Offering easy steering, you will have full control of your Pride GoGo Elite Traveller Sport and will enjoy a responsive ride.

VAT Exemption

The prices listed on our website do not include VAT as our products qualify as VAT exempt for those suffering from a long term condition affecting their mobility.

VAT Exemption
The Products listed on our website show a non-VAT price. This is because some equipment for disabled people, including wheelchairs, scooters, vehicles and various other mobility products, can be sold free of VAT to qualifying people. This guide explains who can qualify for VAT free shopping, what types of products this covers and how to go about purchasing mobility products VAT-free.


VAT Free Purchasing
If you qualify for VAT exemption, you won’t have to pay VAT on mobility goods that qualify under the VAT relief scheme. Humber Mobility Centre will simply charge you the VAT-free amount – so you DO NOT have to pay VAT up front and then reclaim this from the government.

Who Qualifies for VAT Exemption?
You can qualify to buy mobility products VAT-free if you are chronically sick or disabled. Goods purchased must be for your own personal, non-business use.

For the purposes of VAT relief, Her Majesty’s Customs & Revenue (HMRC) defines ‘chronically sick or disabled’ as:

- you have a physical or mental impairment which has a long-term and substantial adverse effect upon your ability to carry out everyday activities.
- you have a condition that the medical profession treats as a chronic sickness, such as diabetes.
- you have a terminal illness.

Temporary mobility impairment (a broken leg, for example) does not qualify for VAT exemption.

What About Older People?
VAT exemption for mobility products is not directly affected by age. If you are 60 years of age or older and you have a chronic illness or disability, as defined in the section above, you can still qualify for VAT-free mobility products. On the other hand, if you are over 60 you do not automatically qualify for VAT relief.

Note: Lower Rate VAT – Those over age 60 can qualify for reduced rate (5%) VAT on specific home aids, namely grab rails, ramps, stair lifts, bath lifts, built-in shower seats or showers containing built-in seats and walk-in baths.

Great. So How Do I Apply?
VAT exemption works by self-declaration – you complete and sign a form stating that you meet the criteria for ‘chronically sick or disabled’, as set out above. Independent or NHS medical assessment is not required.

Declaration forms are available from Humber Mobility Centre store and you can complete this at point of purchase. If the purchaser is unable to sign their declaration form, this can be done by a parent, guardian, doctor or carer on their behalf.
