Countryside Mobility isn’t just for people with daily mobility needs, it’s for anyone who may find walking difficult at a particular location.
This could be due to a long-term condition, a temporary injury, or simply the challenge of distances or hills. Our goal is to give you the freedom to explore and enjoy the outdoors with friends and family, no matter your situation.
You don’t need to provide proof, like a Blue Badge, or explain why you want to use a Tramper – if it helps you enjoy a location, you’re welcome to use the scheme.
Your safety is our top priority. Each hire location is assessed to determine suitable routes, and staff are trained to show you how to use the Tramper safely. You must also complete a short introductory training session before hiring.
You must be 14 or older (no upper age limit). Key safety requirements include being able to grip both handlebar grips securely and operate the twist grip. Most people are able to meet these requirements, but staff at the hire location will make the final decision. If it isn’t possible, any membership fee paid will be refunded.
Not at all! Most of our members have never used a mobility scooter. The Tramper is designed to be easy to use, and staff will guide you during your first hire. You can also request a quick refresher at any subsequent hire.
Yes! All partner locations use the same type of all-terrain Tramper, so once you’ve completed training, you can hire and drive with confidence at any of our 60+ locations.
A Tramper is an all-terrain mobility scooter designed for off-road use. It can handle gradients up to 25%, rough ground, mud, puddles, and tree roots. With a maximum speed of 4mph, it’s safe and easy to control, yet powerful enough for adventurous terrain.
Yes! Trampers are quiet, leave a light footprint, and allow access without altering natural paths, so you can enjoy the outdoors responsibly.
For your safety, you should:
Weigh no more than 25 stone (159kg)
Have sufficient upper body strength, mobility, and hand dexterity to grip both handles
Be able to read safety signs and obstacles from a distance of 6 metres
Consult your doctor if you have conditions affecting consciousness, balance, mood, memory, seizures, or spinal/back problems
Yes, users must have the ability to understand instructions, safely operate the Tramper, and respond to hazards or changes in the environment.
We find that people often want to extend their taster membership. You can upgrade from a 2-week taster to annual membership at a partner site or easily online on our upgrade page. You just pay the difference of £10.
You will need to upgrade within 2 months of the date you originally took out the 2-week taster membership. The start date for the annual membership will be the date that you took out the taster membership.
If you have any questions about becoming a member, or your current membership contact us.
Normal admission and parking fees apply at locations where relevant.
At most hire locations there is no hire fee. It is either included as part of the admission charge or there is an optional donation. However, at some partner hire locations, particularly those that don’t charge admission or are smaller, independent attractions, they need to charge a small hire fee. This enables sites to cover the costs of making Tramper hire available.
Hire fees currently apply to around a third of partner locations. It should be no more than £2.50 per hour (or equivalent for longer periods).
You agree to:
Follow all instructions from staff and only use recommended routes
Stay aware of hazards and changing route conditions
Be accompanied by a responsible person at certain sites (or carry a phone at unaccompanied sites)
Use the Tramper responsibly, avoid misuse, and not allow others to operate it
Not use the Tramper under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or impairing medication
Return the Tramper on time and report any incidents, damage, or operational issues
Countryside Mobility provides third-party insurance, valid only if the Terms and Conditions are followed. You’ll need to provide your own insurance information if making a claim for damage where another policy applies.
