The Pride Colt Deluxe 2.0 is just one in a long line of Pride Mobility scooters for older people. As such, it benefits from the manufacturer’s reputation for high-quality mobility devices. However, you cannot buy a mobility scooter based on the manufacturer’s reputation alone.

Design, Build, and Aesthetics

The Pride Colt Deluxe 2.0 is an updated version of the original Pride Colt Deluxe mobility scooter for seniors. It comes with a wider tiller design as well as the inclusion of a USB charger and cup holder, both of which were absent in the original Pride Colt Deluxe.

Furthermore, the new Pride Colt Deluxe 2.0 features a covered seat post, whereas the previous model had an exposed one. Other than that, everything else is practically the same.

Design-wise, the Pride Colt Deluxe 2.0 is a four-wheel scooter that measures 47.25 inches long and 22 inches wide. Its platform sits on four 10-inch non-scuffing tires.

Also, buyers get front, rear, and seat suspension for optimal comfort.

There is a large basket attached to the tiller, and right below it is the mobility scooter’s frosted LED headlights for better visibility in the dark. This is part of the fully functional lighting system that also includes turn signals and brake lights at the front and back of the mobility scooter.

Color options for buyers of the Pride Colt Deluxe 2.0 motorized scooter for the elderly include blue, silver, and red.

You can disassemble the mobility scooter into several pieces so it fits the trunk of your car, with the largest and heaviest piece weighing about 67 lbs. As such, lifting it into the trunk may prove difficult for some seniors, especially when alone. That said, this is still fairly light for a medium-sized mobility scooter.

Price

You can get the Pride Colt Deluxe 2.0 from about £1,339/ $1,665.05, depending on where you buy it and whether you are eligible for VAT relief. Other mobility scooters in and around this price range include the Golden Buzzaround XLS-HD 4, Golden LiteRider 4-Wheel, Pride Zero Turn 8, etc.

Comfort, Customization, and User Friendliness

The Pride Colt Deluxe 2.0 is one of the more comfortable options in its price range, featuring full suspension on all four wheels and under the seat. As such, you will not feel bumps on rough terrain as much as you would with other mobility scooters.

The scooter comes with a high back, padded seat with a headrest. You can rotate it when getting on or off the scooter. This seat also comes with width-adjustable armrests that cater to a wide variety of body sizes.

In its default configuration, it comes with solid tires, but you can upgrade to pneumatic tires for the extra comfort they offer.

Like most Pride Mobility products, you can adjust the tiller to cater to the user’s reach. Also, it offers additional benefits, such as a USB charging port and a cup holder.

Furthermore, the feather touch disassembly, a mainstay in most Pride Mobility scooters, is available in the Pride Colt Deluxe 2.0, making transport significantly easier.

Safety

Concerning the device’s safety, you get a full lighting system for easy visibility in the dark. This also includes turn signals and brake lights so you can better navigate the road when surrounded by other vehicles.

Other safety features include the side mirror, brakes, and a horn to let others know you are coming through.

Performance and Maneuverability

The Pride Colt Deluxe 2.0 comes with dual 40 Ah that can power the mobility scooter for seniors for up to 21 miles/39 km. Given that you can take it out on the road as a class 3 mobility scooter, the 21 miles of range should be enough to take you to the grocery store, supermarket, or the mall near your home. With that, you should be able to handle most of your errands without having to turn to your car.

The scooter also has a 400 lbs maximum weight capacity which is significantly more than what you typically get with scooters in this price range. This includes even some of the other options in the Pride Mobility lineup. For instance, the Pride Zero Turn 8 costs roughly $1,854 and has a maximum carrying capacity of 325 lbs.

On the other hand, the Pride Colt Deluxe 2.0’s maneuverability is not its strong suit, given it has a 52.5-inch turning radius. As such, you will not be turning in your hallway, making it unusable in the house.

Portability and Storage

As one of the Pride Mobility scooters for older adults with feather touch disassembly, the Pride Colt Deluxe 2.0 does not take up much storage space. It should even fit into the trunk of your car if you are taking a longer trip from home than usual.

There is, however, one downside in the weight of the biggest part. It weighs 67 lbs/30.4 kg, and for a senior, this can be too heavy to lift on their own. Consequently, they will need help getting it into and out of the trunk.

However, assuming they do not take that many trips outside the immediate vicinity of their home, this is unlikely to be a dealbreaker.

Maintenance and Accessories

Regular maintenance for the Colt Deluxe Mobility scooter for older adults is limited to keeping the battery charge levels in a healthy range, cleaning it regularly, and annual service at authorized Pride Mobility repair shops.

You also do not want to leave it in the rain as it could damage some electric components.

As for the available accessories, you have plenty of options. Examples include oxygen tank holders, cane, crutch, and walker holders, rear baskets, under-seat storage, lap belts, and even service patches for the Army, air force, navy, etc.

Warranty and Customer Service

The Pride Colt Deluxe warranty is limited to one year for manufacturing defects and two years for the frame. As for the batteries, they only come with a six-month warranty.

Insurance

Some vendors like Sunshine Scooters offer the Pride Colt Deluxe 2.0 with a month of free insurance, but you will be on your own after that. Fortunately, a month is enough to shop around for another insurance vendor, so you do not have to pay an extra £1,339/ $1,665.05 or more out of pocket in case of damage or theft.

Pros and Cons

Conclusion

Overall, the Pride Colt Deluxe 2.0 provides incredible value for money. Most other scooters in this price range offer less range, lower battery and weight capacities. This also applies to some higher-priced models, even from the same manufacturer, such as the Pride Mobility Victory 10DX scooter. In short, if you need the extra features and capabilities, this mobility scooter for older adults is a great bargain.

This is easy to assemble & disassemble, long battery life, easy maneuverability & variable speeds. The seat pivots to the side for easy on/off & is handy for limited outdoor seating as I can pull alongside a table & turn seat sideways & stay seated on scooter. Great to get out! Love this for my Mom!
