Merits Roadster Mobility Scooter
The Merits Roadster Mobility Scooter is the straightforward mid-size all-rounder in MoveSmart's Merits range. It combines a roomy driving position, adjustable seat and tiller, strong 75Ah batteries and automatic speed reduction in turns without the size and complexity of the larger Urban or Cross Country models.
The Roadster supports users up to 159 kg, reaches up to 12 km/h, and has a stated maximum range of up to approximately 45 km under suitable conditions.
Where the Roadster Fits in the Merits Range
The Yoga is the compact folding travel scooter. The Roadster is the value-focused mid-size everyday model. The Indigo adds a more sophisticated LCD dashboard and additional storage. The Urban steps up to 182 kg capacity, larger 35.6 cm (14") wheels and up to 56 km range, while the Cross Country is the high-capacity outdoor/twin-seat model.
Choose the Roadster when you want a substantial everyday scooter with good legroom and battery capacity but do not need the extra size, carrying capacity or technology of the larger Merits models.
27.9 cm (11") Tyres and Ground Clearance
The Roadster uses 27.9 cm (11") pneumatic tyres and has approximately 9.5 cm ground clearance.
75Ah Batteries and 45 km Stated Range
Two 12V 75Ah batteries support a stated maximum range of up to approximately 45 km. Actual range varies with user weight, gradients, terrain, tyre pressure, battery condition, temperature and driving style.
Adjustable Seating and Suspension
The high-back seat swivels and adjusts in height, while the tiller and armrests can also be adjusted to suit the user. Adjustable suspension helps smooth normal path and road irregularities.
Automatic Turn-Speed Reduction
An automatic half-speed turning sensor reduces speed in corners to assist with control. Electromagnetic braking, LED lighting and indicators complete the everyday safety equipment.

Is this mobility scooter available for delivery across New Zealand?
We can and do deliver to customers across New Zealand — however, mobility scooters and power chairs are more complex products and can be sizeable, so we generally recommend finding a local retailer who can provide hands-on service and ongoing support. It is also a good idea to test-drive or trial a mobility scooter before committing to a purchase. MoveSmart focuses its sales and servicing within the Central Plateau region, but we are always happy to chat. Get in touch and we can offer advice, suggest a trusted dealer closer to you, or work with you to tailor a solution.
