Shopmobility
Leicester Shopmobility offers the free loan of a scooter, powerchair, power-assisted wheelchair or manual wheelchair to anyone with mobility problems when visiting the city centre.
All new customers are given detailed instructions on how to safely operate the equipment. Staff will test you to ensure you are competent and in full control of the equipment.
Pre-booking is advised to avoid disappointment. Equipment will not be available for loan after 2.30pm. All equipment must be returned by 3.30pm as this will allow us to sanitise and recharge the mobility scooters.
