Heavy Duty Mobility Scooters Australia

Heavy Duty Mobility Scooters Australia — Bariatric Capacity, Long Range & Everyday Reliability

If you need more than a standard mobility scooter can offer — higher weight capacity, longer range, greater outdoor stability, or a scooter built for a larger or bariatric rider — Gilani Engineering’s heavy duty mobility scooter range is built for exactly that. Also commonly called a gopher scooter, a heavy duty mobility scooter is the right choice when a standard model no longer meets your needs for capacity, range or outdoor stability. We supply our own engineered models — plus a curated selection of heavy duty scooters from trusted brands including Pride Mobility, Invacare, Sunrise Medical, Active Mobility and ILS — from $2,990, with NDIS, MASS, My Aged Care and DVA funding support available. And with genuine spare parts always available in Australia, you’re supported for the life of the scooter, not just the warranty period.

Both our own models and branded options are supplied Australia-wide — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Toowoomba, Cairns, Townsville and all regional areas — with free delivery on online orders, after-sales support, and a manufacturer warranty. As a registered NDIS provider, we handle all quotes and documentation for funded purchases.

Compare Heavy Duty Mobility Scooters — Which Model Suits You?

Available at a reduced price with NDIS and MASS funding supported. Contact us to ask about current availability and pricing.

Do you have a 200kg mobility scooter?

We also stock high-capacity models from Pride, Invacare and Sunrise Medical — contact us for the full range.

Are these scooters good for hills?

The MINIAUTO handles inclines up to 10° with its 1400W motor and intelligent electronic descent control — suitable for Australian footpaths, parks and hilly community terrain. The EasyGo handles gentle inclines for everyday shopping and appointment use. For steeper terrain requirements, ask our team about heavy duty models from Pride and Sunrise Medical that may suit your specific conditions.

Are heavy duty mobility scooters NDIS funded?

Yes. All models we supply — including our own range and branded models from Pride, Invacare, Sunrise Medical, Active Mobility and ILS — are available with NDIS support. We are a registered NDIS provider and supply compliant quotes with all required support item numbers and documentation. Contact us to request a funded quote.

Do you deliver heavy duty mobility scooters across all of Australia?

Yes — we deliver to every state and territory across Australia including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Toowoomba, Rockhampton, Hervey Bay, Cairns, Townsville and all regional areas. Free delivery on online orders for all brands we supply.

Can I try a heavy duty scooter before buying?

Yes — two ways. Visit our Sydney showroom at 14 Smithfield Rd, Smithfield NSW for a test ride and seat fitting across our full range. Or use our Hire to Buy program — trial a brand-new scooter at home from as little as 0.6% of the purchase price per day, with all hire costs deducted if you go ahead and buy.

What warranty is included and can I get parts after the warranty expires?

All models include a 1-year manufacturer warranty on the frame, electronics and drive motors. Unlike many importers who stop stocking parts after a product generation ends, Gilani Engineering permanently stocks genuine spare parts for every scooter in our range — motors, batteries, controllers, tyres and more. Your scooter can be serviced and repaired in Australia for years after the warranty expires, without sending anything overseas.

How does a heavy duty scooter compare to a standard scooter?

Standard mobility scooters typically support 100–120kg with motors under 300W and 20–30km range. Heavy duty models offer higher weight capacity (120–200kg), more powerful motors (up to 1400W), longer range (up to 70km), wider tyres, stronger frames and better outdoor stability. If you’ve found standard scooters feel cramped, unstable or underpowered, a heavy duty or bariatric model is the right step up. Brands like Pride, Invacare and Sunrise Medical offer well-engineered options across the full capacity range.

Do you have mobility scooters with a 225kg capacity?

The MINIAUTO is rated to 200kg. For capacity above 200kg, we stock higher-capacity models from Pride and other brands in our range. Contact our team to discuss the right option for your weight and daily use requirements.

Can I use a heavy duty mobility scooter on public transport?

The EasyGo dismantles for transport and may be suitable for some public transport use when dismantled. The MINIAUTO at 126kg total weight is designed for outdoor community use rather than public transport. If public transport compatibility is a priority, see our folding and portable mobility scooter range instead.
