Monarch Mobility is donating a top-of-the-range electric bike to Help for Heroes.
The e-bike will be used in a prize draw to encourage sign-ups for the charity’s Big Battlefield Bike Ride, which is taking place on 23 June 2026.
The Big Battlefield Bike Ride is Help for Heroes’ annual cycle ride – a fundraising challenge that helps to raise vital funds to support the physical and mental health, welfare, and social needs of veterans and their families.
Monarch Mobility is incredibly proud to support Help for Heroes with their amazing fundraising event. Managing Director, Martin Sampson, a veteran himself, said: “Freedom, independence and mobility are all vital to the recovery of many veterans, which aligns perfectly with our mission. That’s why we’re always delighted to support Help for Heroes whenever we can.”
The XF800 Mountain E-Bike is a full-suspension, fat-tire electric bicycle that offers a smooth ride and exhilarating experience!
Find out more about this epic bike ride and sign up for the opportunity to win the bike on the Help for Heroes website.
Monarch Mobility would also like to offer any veterans or current military personnel £300 off a mobility scooter. For more information, contact the team at Monarch Mobility.
Mobility scooters are essential for many people with limited mobility, offering independence and confidence when getting around.
But for many, a brand new mobility scooter is not an affordable option. That’s when a second-hand mobility scooter offers the perfect compromise – providing the style, features, and functionality of a new model but at a much lower price.
However, before buying a used mobility scooter, it’s important to ensure it suits your personal needs and that you undertake essential checks.
For many buyers, a used mobility scooter offers the perfect balance of independence and affordability, but there are some important considerations to keep in mind.
Let’s take a look at the pros and cons in a bit more detail:
A second-hand mobility scooter is more affordable, making it a good option for people on a budget or those trying a mobility scooter for the first time. As depreciation has already occurred, you also won’t lose as much value if you decide to sell it later.
Reusing a scooter means fewer materials and components go to waste, helping reduce impact on the environment.
While buying a second-hand mobility scooter can be a great way to save money, there are some important considerations to keep in mind.
Because the scooter has been previously used, it may show signs of wear and tear, such as worn tyres or a weakened battery. Older models may also lack newer technology and safety features, which could lead to higher maintenance costs or reduced reliability over time. In addition, used mobility scooters often come with limited or no warranty, meaning you may be responsible for any repairs or replacements.
Before you buy your used mobility scooter, it’s important to take a step back and make sure you know exactly what you’re looking for.
Before you begin browsing, consider what you need from a scooter, such as:
Look online, in local adverts, and through reputable dealers. Create a shortlist of mobility scooters that meet your needs and always opt for sellers with strong reviews and excellent after-sales support.
There are plenty of things to look out for when viewing a second-hand mobility scooter. If you’re unsure what to check when buying a used scooter, take a look at our helpful checklist below.
Just as you would test drive a car, it’s important to test drive a mobility scooter. While you’re out, think about:
Don’t be afraid to ask key questions about the scooter, such as:
A second-hand mobility scooter can vary considerably based on condition, age, model, and features, but can range from £700 to £2,000.
It’s important to compare the condition and prices carefully before making a purchase.
To register a second-hand Class 3 mobility scooter in the UK, you need to complete a V55/5 form. However, your dealer may do this on your behalf.
You do not need to register a Class 2 mobility scooter.
At Monarch Mobility, we offer a wide selection of high-quality pre-loved mobility scooters, ranging from like-new ex-display models to fully reconditioned mobility scooters.
We aim to offer affordable options that also offer reliability and performance. Plus our used mobility scooters come with a 3-month warranty.
