MINIAUTO Heavy-Duty Mobility Scooter – 200kg Capacity, 70km Range, Extra-Wide Tyres
The MINIAUTO is a full-size heavy-duty mobility scooter — also known as a bariatric mobility scooter — built for riders who need more capacity, stability and range than a standard model offers. With a 200kg weight capacity, up to 70km range, a powerful 1400W motor and extra-wide 15cm tyres on 14″ wheels, it delivers confident, comfortable everyday outdoor mobility for larger and heavier riders, and for anyone who simply wants to travel further with full-day comfort. If smaller travel scooters have felt narrow, unstable or short on range, the MINIAUTO is the comfortable step up.
This is a full-size outdoor scooter — the long-range, high-capacity counterpart to our lightweight folding travel scooters — built for footpaths, parks, shopping centres and community use rather than packing into a car boot.
Why the Tyre Width Makes a Real Difference
Most standard scooters — and even some heavy-duty models — use narrower tyres that can feel unsettled outdoors, particularly for larger riders. The MINIAUTO uses extra-wide 15cm pneumatic tyres: a wider contact patch means more grip, better balance and a more planted feel. Combined with full 4-wheel independent suspension, it absorbs surface bumps rather than passing them to the rider, making longer trips on uneven ground far more comfortable.
Built for Larger Riders & Longer Days
- 200kg weight capacity – a reinforced heavy-duty frame suitable for larger and bariatric riders
- Up to 70km range – one of the longest ranges available, for full days out without mid-day charging
- 1400W rear-wheel-drive motor with intelligent electronic braking
- Dual 12V / 55Ah battery system – designed for full-day use
- 14″ pneumatic wheels with extra-wide 15cm tyres – grip and stability outdoors
- 4-wheel independent suspension – a smoother ride on footpaths and uneven ground
Comfort & Adjustability (All Standard)
- Swivel seat – rotates to the side for easy, safe boarding and alighting (a real help for larger riders who struggle to twist onto a fixed seat)
- Reclining seatback – adjust the backrest angle for comfort on longer rides
- Adjustable headrest – height and angle, for head and neck support
- Flip-up armrests with adjustable width – fold away for side access, and slide in or out to suit your build
- Adjustable seat height and tiller angle – tailor the fit and reach
Safety Features
- Anti-tip wheels – rear-mounted, prevent rearward tipping on inclines
- Intelligent electronic braking – engages automatically when the throttle is released, with regenerative descent control on slopes
- Speed adjustment dial – pre-set your maximum speed (turtle to hare)
- Automatic 20-minute power-down timer – prevents unintended movement if the key is left on
- Manual freewheel mode – lets a carer push the scooter on level ground when needed
- Horn, left/right turning signals, and LED front and rear lights

Who It’s Best For
The MINIAUTO is a heavy-duty outdoor scooter for larger riders and longer daily distances — not a compact travel model. It’s the right choice if you need a 200kg-capacity scooter, have found standard scooters too narrow or underpowered, want a full adjustable comfort seat for all-day use, or need genuine 70km range and outdoor stability.
This is not a folding or portable scooter. At around 126kg total and 148cm long, it isn’t intended for regular car-boot transport. If portability is your priority, see our FNS01 auto-folding travel scooter instead.
Indoor note: with a 157cm turning radius it’s best suited to outdoor and open-space use; it may be too large for tight indoor spaces.
Using a Mobility Scooter Safely in New Zealand
The MINIAUTO is a larger outdoor scooter capable of up to 13km/h. On footpaths, ride at a careful walking pace and always give way to pedestrians, saving higher speeds for safe, open areas. See our guide to the New Zealand regulations for using mobility scooters, and our buyer’s guide to the best mobility scooters in NZ.
Funding in New Zealand
Mobility scooters may be funded for some users through ACC or Ministry of Health equipment funding (administered by Enable New Zealand or Accessable), usually following an assessment. We can provide a detailed quote or invoice for you to submit to your funder. Please note we are not a registered supplier with these bodies — approval, eligibility and payment are determined by your funder, not by us. Contact our team for a quote.
Support & Warranty
The MINIAUTO ships New Zealand-wide and is covered by a 12-month manufacturer warranty (frame, electronics and drive motors). Beyond the warranty period we continue to stock spare parts so your scooter can be serviced for years to come. Support is provided remotely by phone and email — we do not have a physical outlet or on-site service in New Zealand. Given its size and weight (approx. 126kg), please consider delivery access and storage when ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a bariatric mobility scooter?
Yes. With a 200kg capacity, reinforced frame, extra-wide 15cm tyres, swivel seat, adjustable headrest and adjustable-width armrests, it’s well suited to bariatric users and larger riders who need more capacity, stability and comfort than standard scooters provide.
What is the maximum user weight?
200kg. For best long-term performance, choose a model with meaningful overhead above your actual weight. Exceeding the weight limit voids the warranty.
Does it have a swivel seat?
Yes — the seat rotates to the side so you can sit down facing outward, then turn back to face forward. This makes boarding and alighting much easier for larger riders.
How far can it travel on a charge?
Up to 70km under standard conditions with the dual 55Ah battery system. Actual range varies with rider weight, terrain and speed — one of the longest ranges available on a heavy-duty scooter.
Can it be folded or carried in a car boot?
No — it’s a full-size heavy-duty scooter (approx. 126kg). It can be separated into sections for transport if needed (see the user manual). For a boot-friendly option, see our FNS01 folding travel scooter.
Is it suitable for hills?
The 1400W motor climbs inclines up to 10°, with electronic braking controlling descent and anti-tip wheels preventing rearward tipping. Avoid slopes steeper than 10° and wet grass, ice or loose gravel.
