Premium Pavement Scooter with High Capacity and Comfort
The MM4 is a Class 2 pavement mobility scooter built on Monarch’s proven MM platform, sharing its chassis with the road-legal MM8 Marvel. This pavement-only version offers the same comfortable seating, solid construction, and smooth ride, but at a lower price point and without the need for DVLA registration. With a 25-stone user capacity, 18-mile range, and premium captain’s seat, the MM4 suits those who want a high-specification pavement scooter without the complexity of road-legal requirements.
Premium Captain’s Seat
The MM4’s seating sets it apart from basic pavement scooters. The captain-style seat features a tall back with an adjustable headrest and positional backrest, providing support for the head, neck, and spine during extended use. The seat swivels and slides forward/backward, allowing for optimal riding position adjustment and making it easier to get on and off. Flip-up armrests with height and width adjustment add further convenience and comfort. The generous 47cm x 47cm seat dimensions accommodate a wide range of users.
Suspension and Ride Quality
Front and rear suspension absorbs bumps, kerb drops, and uneven pavement surfaces, providing a noticeably smoother ride than scooters without suspension. Combined with 10-inch pneumatic tyres on all four wheels, the MM4 handles varied pavement conditions comfortably. The 11cm ground clearance allows confident navigation over small obstacles and dropped kerbs.
Extended Range and Capacity
Twin 36Ah batteries deliver up to 18 miles on a single charge—sufficient for extended shopping trips, day outings, or multiple shorter journeys. The 25-stone (159kg) user capacity accommodates larger users who may find smaller pavement scooters inadequate. The 400W motor provides reliable performance with a 10-degree maximum climbing angle for handling slopes and ramps.
Complete Lighting and Safety
Unlike many pavement scooters that offer basic or no lighting, the MM4 includes a full lighting suite: front and rear lights, navigation lights, indicators, and hazard warning lights. While not required for pavement use, these features improve visibility in low light conditions and around traffic. A mirror is fitted as standard for additional awareness.
Ergonomic Controls
The wrap-around delta tiller provides intuitive steering with controls positioned for easy access. Speed control, direction, and lighting functions are clearly laid out and simple to operate. A front basket provides convenient storage for shopping and personal items.
MM4 vs MM8 Marvel
The MM4 and MM8 Marvel share identical chassis, dimensions, seating, and suspension. The difference is the powertrain: the MM4 runs at 4 mph (Class 2, pavement only), while the MM8 offers 8 mph (Class 3, road-legal). The MM8 has a larger motor (500W vs 400W), bigger batteries (2x 50Ah vs 2x 36Ah), and greater range (22 miles vs 18 miles). Choose the MM4 for pavement-only use at £1,775; choose the MM8 if you need road access at £1,945.

Which MM Is Right For You?
Choose the MM4 (£1,775) if you only need pavement use and prefer the simplicity of Class 2 operation—no DVLA registration required. With 18-mile range, 25-stone capacity, full suspension, and premium captain’s seat, the MM4 delivers excellent value for those who don’t need road access. Save £170 compared to the MM8.
Choose the MM8 Marvel (£1,945) if you need road access or want the extra performance. The Class 3 rating lets you travel on roads at up to 8 mph as well as pavements at 4 mph—essential when pavements are unsuitable or unavailable. The more powerful 500W motor, larger 50Ah batteries, and 22-mile range make it suitable for longer journeys and hillier terrain. Motability approved.
