Sterling S50 Carbon

Two folds, one lift and zero fuss

Lifting is believing with Sterling's lightest ever carbon folding mobility scooter. Tired of heavy, bulky folding mobility scooters built for a weight target, not the real world?

Meet the boldly elegant S50 Carbon. With a brilliantly simple one-piece folding design and carbon fibre construction, it weighs just 13 kg (28.4 lbs) with the flight-ready battery removed, making lifting and loading into the car feel genuinely manageable.

Out and about is where the S50 Carbon really shines. With up to 19.2 km (11.9 miles) of range, it's ready for long days that roll into the evenin.

A roomier foot platform lets you sit more naturally too, especially if you're tall. Plus, it's built with decades of trusted Sterling know-how, giving you reliability you can feel.

Transporting

No dismantling. Just tow folds! Getting the S50 Carbon ready for the car is refreshingly simple. Pull the easy-release catch under the seat and fold it flat. Then lower the tiller and guide the handlebars into the receivers, so it locks neatly in the folded position.

Even the cushion stays in place, so there's nothing extra to carry!

  • One Person Lifting: Loading the S50 Carbon feels surprisingly manageable. Once folded, the built-in grab points on either side of the seat frame give you a balanced, confident hold - ideal when you're lifting on your own.
    Want it lighter? Remove the 1.9 kg (4.2 lbs) battery first to bring the lift weight down to just 13 kg (28.4 lbs).
  • Wheel Like Luggage: Need to move your S50 Carbon a little further? Just lift using the built-in carry handle at the front and let it roll along on the rear anti-tip wheels - just like pulling a suitcase.
    It's a familiar, one-person way to move your mobility scooter with less effort, ideal if you'd rather roll it than fully lift it.
  • Flight Ready: Planning to travel abroad? The S50 Carbon's lithium-ion battery is UN38.3 tested and complies with applicable IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations for air transport.

Performance

Lightweight and boot-friendly, the S50 Carbon is also engineered for the daily drive. Corner coming up? Turn Assist gently adjusts your speed as you steer, so you feel steadier and more sure-footed through turns.

That's pavement-hugging control at every corner - for a smoother ride, a reduced risk of tipping, and one less thing to think about.

  • Tight Spaces: Doorways at home. Supermarket aisles. Busy shopping centres. The S50 Carbon with its slim 530 mm (20.9") width, compact 1030 mm (40.6") length, and a tight 1475 mm (58") turning radius ensures slipping through gaps and turning in tight spot feels easy, indoors and out.
  • Lighting: The S50 Carbon's integrated front and rear LEDs shine brighter and further than standard bulbs, so you can see what's ahead more clearly - and others can spot you sooner.
    The rear light is smart too. It reacts when you brake, speed up, or slow down - giving people behind you a clearer signal of what you're doing.

Controls

Using your S50 Carbon is genuinely easy. Just hold the key fob next to the control box and press the start button - no fiddly keys. And if you leave it parked for a moment, only your fob can reactivate the scooter for added peace of mind.

It's designed to feel natural from the very first ride, too.

The simple wig-wag control lets you move forward and reverse using your thumb or fingers, while large, easy-press buttons keep everything clear and within easy reach - ideal if you have limited hand strength or dexterity.

Comfort

Many foldable mobility scooters can feel cramped when you're seated, with the front taking up valuable space and limiting how naturally you can position your legs (especially if you're tall).

The S50 Carbon is built differently. Its chassis sits above the front wheels, creating a larger, flatter foot platform - giving your feet a comfortable place to rest and your legs more room.

  • Driving Position: The tiller adjusts for both height and reach, so you can set it where it feels most comfortable. With the release lever positioned mid-stem, it's always within easy reach to fine-tune without bending.
    And once it's set, the robust gas-strut design keeps it firmly in place - preventing movement and giving firmer steering when manoeuvring.
  • Comfy Seating: The 50 mm (2" deep) seat cushion gives you extra padding you'll notice straight away - especially on longer trips.
    And it's got your back too: a gently curved backrest supports a more natural sitting position, while breathable spacer fabric allows airflow to help reduce heat build-up, keeping you cooler on warmer days.
