A Compact 8mph Mobility Scooter
One of the biggest advantages of the Vecta Cruise is the amount of performance it delivers within a relatively compact footprint.
At approximately 132cm long and 60cm wide, the Vecta platform is noticeably more compact than many larger road mobility scooters. This can make it easier to manoeuvre through tighter spaces and store at home, while still providing an 8mph maximum speed and substantial 25 stone carrying capacity.
Generous legroom and an adjustable tiller help ensure that its compact exterior doesn't mean compromising unnecessarily on the user's driving position.
For anyone who wants the capabilities of a Class 3 road mobility scooter without moving up to a much larger model, the Vecta Cruise is well worth considering.
Smoother Ride with Larger Pneumatic Tyres
The new Vecta Cruise introduces larger pneumatic tyres, designed to deliver improved cushioning and a smoother ride over everyday surfaces.
Pneumatic tyres naturally absorb some of the bumps and vibrations encountered when travelling over pavements and paths, helping to improve comfort – particularly important if you regularly spend longer periods on your scooter.
Combined with the Vecta's powerful drive system and compact proportions, this makes the Vecta Cruise a versatile option for both shorter everyday journeys and travelling further afield.
600W Motor with Max Grip Technology
The Vecta Cruise is powered by a 600W high-torque motor and Electric Mobility's Max Grip limited-slip differential gearbox.
The Max Grip system is designed to improve traction and handling by helping to maintain drive when conditions under the wheels differ.
With an 8mph maximum speed, 10cm kerb capability and up to 27.3-mile stated range, the Vecta Cruise combines its compact dimensions with serious everyday performance.
Optional Solid Canopy for Year-Round Mobility
The Rascal Vecta Cruise is compatible with Electric Mobility's purpose-designed Solid Canopy, providing additional protection for users who rely on their scooter throughout the year.
The strong and sturdy canopy frame provides overhead protection while its clear windscreen offers forward shelter without unnecessarily restricting visibility.
Its open-sided design retains excellent access and ventilation, making it a good choice if you want additional weather protection without feeling enclosed.
When fitted, the canopy configuration measures approximately:
-
146cm long
-
66cm wide
-
173cm high
A compact top box is supplied as standard with the Solid Canopy frame, providing useful additional storage.
Solid Canopy with Flexible Sides – Greater Weather Protection
For additional protection against wind and rain, the Solid Canopy can be upgraded with flexible clear textile sides.
Made from PVC-backed nylon and clear PVC, these provide greater coverage while retaining visibility and ventilation.
Features include:
-
Clear flexible side panels for increased protection from the elements
-
Roll-up sides so you can open the canopy when conditions improve
-
Zip access for easier entry and exit
-
Integrated interior headliner for additional insulation
-
Breathable, ventilated design
-
Excellent all-round visibility
This makes the Vecta Cruise with canopy and flexible sides an excellent option for users looking for a compact all-weather mobility scooter that can be adapted for use across the seasons.
Which Vecta Cruise Canopy Should I Choose?
Solid Canopy
The Solid Canopy is ideal if you primarily want overhead and forward protection while retaining an open-sided scooter.
It provides excellent visibility and ventilation while maintaining straightforward access to the seat.
Solid Canopy with Flexible Sides
For greater protection from wind and rain, choose the Solid Canopy with flexible sides.
The clear textile side panels provide increased coverage, while the zipped and roll-up design means you can adapt the canopy as the weather changes.
Our team can talk you through both configurations and help you choose the option that best suits how and where you use your scooter.
