Whilst they have always had a dedicated user base, three wheel mobility scooters have tended to divide opinion in the past. Some have considered them a little lightweight, That might be due to preconceptions performance, features, and even handling. But, here in 2025, a new breed of three-wheelers are shaking up the market. These new vehicles are redefining the reputation of these mobility scooters. The days of worries about wobbly and low-spec 3-wheel products are a thing of the past.
The Premium Three-Wheelers are Here
Besides the boundary-pushing likes of the giant turbo-charged Scooterpac Invader Xtreme, there are other premium three-wheel products either available or in the works. A case in point is the 3-wheel version of the TGA Whill R. This model is shown below, and comes equipped with capable full suspension. Plus there’s over 2 inches of ground clearance. This ability to handle more difficult terrain is characteristic of the higher performance which three wheel mobility scooters are able to deliver nowadays.
Another manufacturer getting in on the premium 3-wheel market trend is Sunrise. Their offerings take things to an entirely new level. The Sterling Elite² XS and the Sterling Elite² Plus are seriously high end. Both are road-legal 8mph products. Customisation options are available for the pair of them. So they could be viewed as the successors to the 3 wheel Invacare Orion Metro, an enduringly popular, but sadly now discontinued, model.
Above, you can see for yourself the sleek and powerful Sterling Elite² XS in head on view. Both inside and out, this product has a lot to recommend it.
