Who commonly use mobility scooters, enclosed disability vehicles and microcars?

Mobility scooters and enclosed disability vehicles

Most users of mobility scooters and enclosed disability vehicles are physically impaired. There are no centrally stored data about the users’ ages.

Microcars

Microcar owners [9] are mostly older road users: in 2019, over 40% of the private owners were aged 65 or over, and almost 73% were aged 50 or over. About 4% of owners were younger than 25. It is, however, conceivable that some young drivers’ microcars are owned by their parents.
