Before you buy a used Galaxy Roadmaster Plus
How fast does the Galaxy Roadmaster Plus go?
Up to 8 mph on the road. It is a Class 3 scooter, so on pavements it must be set to 4 mph.
How far will it go on a charge?
Up to 35 miles, the figure on the Motability Scheme listing, from its two 12V 75Ah batteries. The distance you get depends on things like the rider's weight, hills, cold weather and the age of the batteries.
What is the maximum user weight?
172 kg (about 27 stone), the figure on the Motability Scheme listing.
Can it go in a car?
No. It is 153 cm long and weighs 142 kg. It comes apart for moving, but the heaviest piece is 55 kg, so it needs a van with a ramp. Most owners keep it in a garage or shed.
Why do some listings mention a canopy?
Some were supplied with a vinyl canopy to keep off the rain. Each listing says whether that scooter has one.
Is it the same as the Excel Galaxy?
No. Excel also makes the Galaxy, Galaxy II and Galaxy Plus, which look similar but have different figures. Check the name on the scooter.
