Merits S542 Yoga Portable Scooter Owners Manual
Why Choose the Merits Yoga?
The Yoga suits users who prioritise portability over the size and range of a full-size scooter. It folds into a compact package, uses a removable lithium-ion battery and remains light enough for travel situations where a conventional mobility scooter would be difficult to transport.
Choosing a Scooter for Real-World Journeys
Merits Yoga Portable Travel Scooter should be considered in the context of the trips it will make most often. Think about typical distance, gradients, footpaths, kerbs, storage and access at home, as well as whether the scooter will need to be loaded into a vehicle. Published range figures are useful for comparison, but actual distance varies with user weight, terrain, temperature, tyre condition and battery condition.
Seat position and control reach should allow a relaxed, secure driving posture with clear forward visibility. Before committing to a scooter, check the overall dimensions against gates, ramps and storage areas and arrange a trial where possible. A regular charging routine, tyre checks and scheduled servicing help keep the scooter dependable for day-to-day travel.

Can it be delivered throughout 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.
