FAQ'S
1. What is the maximum speed and range of the Rascal 388 S?
The Rascal 388 S is a Class 2 mobility scooter, meaning it has a maximum speed of 4mph (6.4kph), which is the legal limit for pavement use in the UK. On a full charge, it offers a generous range of up to 20 miles (32km), making it ideal for longer days out or multiple short trips without needing to recharge.
2. Is the Rascal 388 S road legal?
As a Class 2 vehicle, the 388 S is designed primarily for pavements and indoor use (such as supermarkets). While you can legally cross roads or travel on the road if there is no pavement available, it is not intended for regular road use. If you require a road-legal version with lights and a higher top speed (6mph), you may want to look at its “big brother,” the Rascal 388 XL.
3. What is the maximum user weight capacity?
Despite its compact and narrow frame, the Rascal 388 S is very robust. It has a maximum carrying capacity of 136kg, which is approximately 21 stone. This makes it a sturdy choice for a wide range of users.
4. How do I charge the batteries?
The scooter is powered by two 12V 33Ah (or 34Ah/36Ah depending on the specific battery pack) deep-cycle batteries. To charge it, ensure the scooter is switched off and the key is removed. Plug the charger into the socket located on the left side of the tiller head. It is best practice to charge the batteries at the end of every day they are used, or at least once a month if the scooter is in storage.
5. Can the scooter be dismantled for transport in a car?
The Rascal 388 S is a mid-size scooter and is not “split-apart” in the same way as a lightweight boot scooter. However, it can be partially dismantled for storage or transport:
-
The seat is removable.
-
The tiller (handlebars) can be folded down.
-
The batteries can be removed to reduce the lifting weight. The heaviest component (front section) weighs approximately 20.3kg (44.8lbs).
6. What makes it good for narrow spaces?
The standout feature of the 388 S is its narrow chassis. At only 54cm (21 inches) wide, it can navigate tight supermarket aisles, narrow doorways, and crowded pavements much more easily than other scooters in the same class. It also features a 5-position tiller adjustment to help the user find the most comfortable driving position in tight spots.
