What are your legal requirements relating to Mobility Scooters? Would it comply, even with adjustment to where/how you use it? Would probably need to be a commercial manufacture. Mobility scooters in Australia are allowed 10kmh, must be ridden on footpaths and must cross roads at pedestrian crossings. Heck, eBikes are only allowed 6kmh under their own steam, cannot be ridden on footpaths unless you are under 12yo, must be ridden in bike lanes, cannot be ridden cross roads on pedestrian crossings, must be pedalled to get assist which must cut out at 25kmh, and must be no more than 250W.
Mobility scooters are pretty powerful and come with batteries, charger, electrics, etc. A discarded one driving larger wheels might be an easy option.
