It is compact enough to load into the boot of your car or take with you when travelling, and simple to operate: switch on and go.

Who It Suits

A Note on Load Capacity

The load capacity of any scooter can change depending on the ground it is used on. A stated capacity is usually tested on flat ground; performance and stability can change on an incline. We recommend discussing the maximum safe gradient with our team before use, particularly if you will regularly drive on slopes.

Using a Mobility Scooter in New Zealand

In New Zealand you do not need a licence, registration or warrant of fitness to use a mobility scooter. You should travel on the footpath wherever it is practicable, keep to a safe walking pace around pedestrians, and only use the road when no footpath is available — keeping as close as possible to the left edge. For a full explanation, see our guide to the New Zealand regulations for using mobility scooters on footpaths and roads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the LITERIDER easy to fold and transport?

Yes. It is a compact folding mobility scooter that folds down for car boots and travel, and at 19 kg it is light enough for most people to lift. Its folded size is around 100 cm long, 55 cm wide and 40 cm high.

How far can it travel on one charge?

The LITERIDER has a driving range of up to 15 km per charge, depending on rider weight, terrain and conditions, and charges in around 6 hours.

How fast does it go?

It has a top speed of up to 8 km/h. On footpaths you should travel at a walking pace and give way to pedestrians, in line with New Zealand mobility scooter guidance.

Is a 4-wheel scooter better than a 3-wheel scooter?

Four-wheel scooters offer more stability than 3-wheel models, which makes them a better choice for outdoor use and uneven ground. Three-wheel scooters turn more tightly and suit tight indoor spaces. The LITERIDER’s four wheels prioritise stability while staying compact and light. You can read more in our guide to choosing between 3-wheel and 4-wheel mobility scooters.

What weight can it support?

The LITERIDER has a maximum load capacity of 120 kg. Note that safe capacity can reduce on inclines, so steeper ground should be approached with care.

Can I use it in the rain?

You can use it in light rain, moving slowly and with caution. In heavy rain it is best to keep the scooter and its electrical controls covered, or wait until conditions improve.

Do I need a licence to use a mobility scooter in New Zealand?

No. You do not need a driver licence, registration or warrant of fitness to use a mobility scooter in New Zealand. You must use the footpath where practicable, travel considerately, and keep to the left edge of the road only where no footpath is available.

Can I get a mobility scooter funded in New Zealand?

Some users may access funding through ACC or Ministry of Health equipment funding via Enable New Zealand or Accessable. We can provide a quote or invoice to submit to your funder. Please note Gilani Mobility is not a registered supplier under these schemes, so approval and eligibility are decided by your funder.

Does it come with a warranty and NZ delivery?

Yes. The LITERIDER ships New Zealand-wide with free delivery and a 12-month manufacturer warranty. Support is provided remotely by phone and email.
