First-Class Comfort for Longer Journeys

The Vortex Cruise has been designed around comfort on longer journeys.

Its premium 20-inch Captain's seat features a high back, supportive cushioning and diamond-quilted upholstery, creating a comfortable and supportive driving position while giving the scooter a premium appearance.

Both the seat and tiller can be adjusted to further tailor the driving position to the individual user.

Performance suspension works alongside the Vortex Cruise's pneumatic tyres to help absorb bumps and provide a smoother ride. The tyres are designed to provide enhanced grip and reassurance when travelling across everyday surfaces including roads, pavements and park paths.

Powerful 900W Performance

Underneath the premium styling, the Vortex Cruise is built to perform.

Its 900W high-torque motor is paired with Electric Mobility's Max Grip limited-slip differential gearbox, helping the scooter maintain traction and keep moving in more challenging conditions.

With an 8mph maximum speed, 10cm kerb-climbing capability and up to 25.5-mile stated range, the Vortex Cruise provides the performance needed for users who rely on their scooter for regular local travel and longer journeys.

Optional Solid Canopy – Added Protection Throughout the Year

For users who want to get more use from their scooter throughout the changing seasons, the Rascal Vortex Cruise is compatible with Electric Mobility's purpose-designed Solid Canopy.

The strong, sturdy canopy frame provides overhead and forward protection, including a clear windscreen to maintain excellent visibility.

Its open-sided design maintains easy access to the scooter while providing welcome protection from above and in front.

The Solid Canopy measures approximately 146cm long, 66cm wide and 173cm high when fitted.

A compact rear top box is also included as standard with the Solid Canopy frame, adding useful lockable storage to your scooter.

Solid Canopy with Flexible Sides – Greater All-Weather Protection

For additional protection, the Solid Canopy can be upgraded with clear flexible textile sides.

The sides are constructed using PVC-backed nylon and clear PVC and have been designed to provide protection while maintaining visibility and ventilation.

Features include:

• Clear flexible side panels for protection without significantly restricting visibility

• Roll-up sides – allowing the canopy to be opened up when the weather improves

• Zip access – designed to make getting on and off the scooter straightforward

• Integrated interior headliner – provides additional insulation during colder weather

• Breathable and ventilated design

• Maximum visibility

• PVC-backed nylon and clear PVC construction

This makes the Vortex Cruise with canopy and sides a particularly useful option for people who depend on their mobility scooter throughout the year and don't want changing weather to unnecessarily restrict their independence.

Which Vortex Cruise Canopy Should I Choose?

Solid Canopy

A good choice if you want overhead and forward protection while retaining an open-sided scooter.

The open aspect makes access straightforward and provides plenty of ventilation, making it particularly useful for users looking for shelter without feeling enclosed.

Solid Canopy with Flexible Sides

Choose the canopy with sides if you want greater protection from wind and rain.

The flexible clear panels provide additional coverage, while zip openings and roll-up sides mean you can adapt the canopy as weather conditions change.

Our team can demonstrate the canopy options and help you decide which configuration best suits how and where you use your scooter.
