Freerider FR1 City: Renowned Reliability Meets Urban Agility
Discover the perfect blend of robust performance and nimble handling with the Freerider FR1 City mobility scooter, available from MLV Mobility in Worksop. Built by Freerider, a brand renowned for its engineering quality and exceptional reliability, the FR1 City delivers the confidence of a Class 3, 8mph scooter on a shorter, more maneuverable chassis designed specifically for navigating town and city environments with ease.

It bridges the gap perfectly, offering a commanding ride without the footprint of the very largest models.
Why Choose the Freerider FR1 City?
Legendary Freerider Reliability
Invest with confidence. Freerider scooters are celebrated for their durable construction, high-quality components, and long-lasting performance, ensuring years of dependable service.
Reliable 8mph Performance
Effortlessly cover longer distances with the powerful 600W motor, offering smooth acceleration up to the road-legal speed of 8mph (with a 4mph pavement mode).
Superior Comfort & Ride Quality
Experience a smooth and comfortable journey thanks to the full front and rear suspension system and large 12" pneumatic tyres that absorb bumps effectively. The plush, adjustable Captain's seat provides excellent support for longer trips.
Optimised Urban Agility
While offering big-scooter features, the FR1 City's "nippy" shorter wheelbase and competitive turning radius (~141cm) make it noticeably easier to manoeuvre through shop aisles, busy pavements, and tighter corners compared to larger 8mph models.
