TGA Supersport B&C
The TGA Supersport is different from every other
mobility scooter I think I have ever ridden. With
its three big alloy wheels, distinctive handlebars,
large front light and three-wheel design, the
Supersport seems to have borrowed
many ideas from the motorcycle
industry. This gives it plenty of
style, but there is substance too —
outstanding comfort, stability and
manoeuvrability.

A powerful 75 aH battery gives an
impressive maximum range of 30 miles
per charge. On my test drive, the operating lever gave
me an amazing smooth finger-tip control of speed
going forwards and in reverse. I inched forward, and
then quickly accelerated to a top speed of 8mph.
I was pleased to find the steering responsive.
An impressive turning circle allowed me to negotiate almost any obstacle. And the
Supersport’s upholstered adjustable seat made it an exceptionally comfortable ride. Better
still, the arms lifted up and the whole seat rotated to allow me to access it easily. The
large rear basket, which comes as standard, was a nice touch too. Weighing in at 119 kg,
the Supersport is 163 cm in length, 97 cm in height and a slim 74 cm wide. Maximum
user weight is 200 kg. My verdict is that the Supersport is super and sporty too. It lives up
to its name in every sense.
Freerider Landranger XL8
With a maximum user weight of 190 kg, the
Landranger XL8 is a robust four-wheel scooter. It
feels like it can truly go anywhere: dirt tracks, uneven
ground and muddy puddles are nothing to the XL8.
A powerful 86 aH battery gives an impressive
maximum range of 26 miles per charge.
Weighing in at 160 kg, the Supersport is
a heavyweight. It’s 152 cm long, 122
cm in height and slim at 74 cm wide,
with four solid tyres. Maximum
user weight is 190 kg. With a waterresistant
LCD dashboard, fixed twin
mirrors and indicators, you can see
clearly whatever the weather.
