Madgemobiles aka scooters
Hi
We are looking at getting a madgemobile for my mum and dad as they will be living with us for a few months of the year when we move to CE.
A friend of mine has a shop in the UK and I asked him to look into a double scooter for them to get around on.
Apparently they are illegal in the UK
My question is, does anyone know if doubles are illegal in Spain?? I believe they have been seen in Benidorm however that isn't Ayamonte so not sure if like other things the law differs with scooters?? or are they illegal in Spain too; full stop.
We have considered getting 2 singles but my mum isn't keen - think she likes my dad chauffeuring her about lol
If anyone has any idea it would be appreciated.
regards
Mandy

One of the many good things about our part of the Algarve is that it is far too hilly for them.

Don't know where you are but the few we have, hence the need for one

Hi
We have often seen an old guy ( Dutch I think) driving a mobility scooter around Monte Gordo with his missus standing on the back like Ben Hur. Perhaps your folks could try this if they can't find a tandem scooter

Yeah I've thought about getting them a little trailer `coach' like you see with parents on bikes where they have their little darlings behind them, a bit like stan n olive in on the buses with their side car!! will sort something for them
