Merits Urban Mobility Scooter
The Merits Urban Mobility Scooter is the long-range all-rounder in MoveSmart's Merits range. It combines a 182 kg maximum user weight, 650W rated motor, twin 100Ah batteries and up to 56 km stated range with a swivel-and-slide captain's chair and front/rear suspension.
For users who make regular community trips and want more range, capacity and wheel size than the Roadster or Indigo without moving to the specialist high-capacity Cross Country, the Urban occupies a useful middle ground.
Where the Urban Fits in the Merits Range
The Yoga is the folding travel model. The Roadster and Indigo are mid-size everyday scooters. The Urban steps up to 182 kg capacity, 35.6 cm (14") wheels, a 650W motor and up to 56 km range. The Cross Country is the larger 227 kg outdoor/twin-seat model.
Choose the Urban when longer range and a substantial captain-seat scooter are priorities, but the Cross Country's extra carrying capacity and twin-seat capability are unnecessary.
100Ah Batteries and 56 km Stated Range
Two 100Ah batteries support a stated maximum range of up to approximately 56 km under suitable conditions. Real-world range varies with user weight, terrain, gradients, tyre pressure, battery condition, temperature and driving style.
35.6 cm (14") Wheels and Front/Rear Suspension
The Urban uses 35.6 cm (14") tyres with front and rear suspension for comfort over normal outdoor surface changes. Ground clearance is listed at up to approximately 15 cm.
The larger wheels and suspension improve outdoor versatility, but the Urban remains a large mobility scooter that needs adequate turning, storage and access space.
Captain's Chair and Everyday Convenience
The high-back captain's chair swivels and slides to assist access and positioning. Adjustable armrests allow further fit adjustment, while an automatic headlight and USB charging port add practical day-to-day convenience.

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.
