Sponsored sectionThis banner supports independent signposting for mobility vehicles grouped by DomusHelp under the 20 km/h threshold in Entremont District. The grouping is not a legal vehicle classification. Sponsors are not presented as providers, have no access to enquiries or personal data, receive no priority and do not influence the content.
Mobility vehicles limited to 20 km/h in Entremont District
DomusHelp presents, for information and comparison, personal mobility vehicles whose technical documents state a maximum design speed of no more than 20 km/h. Depending on the product, this may include certain powered wheelchairs, mobility scooters, three- or four-wheeled vehicles or other light vehicles. The 20 km/h threshold is a DomusHelp editorial grouping and is not, by itself, a Swiss legal vehicle category. Vehicle type, maximum design speed, power, weight, dimensions, intended use, approval and model documents determine the applicable rules. Two vehicles with the same stated speed may therefore be subject to different requirements. Before purchase, hire or use in public space, the exact model, permitted areas, any driving-licence requirement, registration, number plate, insurance and mandatory equipment need to be checked. DomusHelp does not decide road admission or individual suitability.

Advertising
This space is available
This space in the page body can carry clearly labelled advertising for a business, brand or institution connected with personal mobility vehicles up to 20 km/h, batteries, charging, accessories, trials, hire, sales, delivery, maintenance or repair.
Presence in this space gives no access to enquiries, no priority in the directory and no influence over DomusHelp’s editorial content.
Every advertisement is reviewed before publication. This advertising space is not a recommendation, approval, certification or prescription and is not a medical, technical, regulatory or road-traffic validation or a conformity or type-approval check of the vehicle, its accessories or the services shown. It does not guarantee their suitability for a particular person.
Professional providers in the directory
Businesses and self-employed providers listed in this directory may, according to their activity, offer sales, hire, trials, delivery, configuration, maintenance or repair of mobility vehicles limited to 20 km/h and compatible accessories in Entremont District.
Each provider will have a short entry and may, where a detailed page exists, present its offer, service area, trial, delivery, take-back or return terms, vehicle documents, after-sales support and contact methods separately.

An editorial threshold, not a legal category
DomusHelp uses 20 km/h to organise navigation and make comparison easier. The threshold does not determine a vehicle’s legal status. The applicable category depends on matters including design, weight, power, intended use, approval and vehicle documents.
Identify the exact vehicle type
Powered wheelchair, mobility scooter, three- or four-wheeled vehicle or another light vehicle: the marketing name does not always identify the regulatory category. Record the make, model, version, serial number and manufacturer’s details.
Maximum design speed
Check the speed stated in the technical documents or on the manufacturer’s plate, not a speed observed on one occasion. Electronic limiting, assistance cut-off or later modification may have different consequences depending on the vehicle.
Approval and vehicle documents
Before purchase or hire, ask which documents accompany the model: technical sheet, instructions, any required conformity or approval evidence, road-admission documents and warranty terms. A sales statement does not replace these documents.
Age, driving licence and riding conditions
Minimum age, any driving-licence requirement and riding conditions vary with the exact vehicle type. Check them with the competent authority and the model’s official documents rather than inferring a rule from the 20 km/h speed alone.
Insurance, registration and number plate
Depending on the vehicle category, third-party liability insurance, registration, a registration document or number plate may be mandatory, optional or not applicable. The seller should explain the model’s status and the information needs confirming before public use.
Carriageway, cycle route, pavement and permitted areas
Not every 20 km/h vehicle may use the same areas. Check the rules for the carriageway, cycle lanes and tracks, pavements, pedestrian zones, paths, public transport and parking. Any restrictions concerning motorways and semi-motorways also need checking for the exact vehicle; the editorial 20 km/h tier is never permission to use them.
Dimensions, weight and stability
Width, length, height, total weight, turning circle, centre of gravity, track width and wheelbase affect access, lifts, bends, cross-slopes and transport. Stability needs testing with the load and accessories actually intended.
Controls, braking and reverse
Acceleration, braking, emergency stop, reverse, steering, speed limiter and displays need to be understood and usable without excessive effort. Starting, precise stopping, turning and slow manoeuvres should be practised in a safe setting.
Slopes, kerbs, surfaces and weather
Slopes, ramps, cross-falls, kerbs, paving, gravel, snow, ice and soft ground change stability, grip and stopping distance. Manufacturer limits for gradient, obstacle crossing and payload must not be exceeded.
Battery, charging and real-world range
Range depends on the battery, its age, temperature, weight, slopes, stops and riding style. Check the compatible charger, charging time, intended location, ventilation, moisture protection and future battery replacement.
Lighting, visibility and signalling
Lights, reflectors, indicators, warning device, mirrors and other equipment may depend on the vehicle and use. Visibility by day, at night and in poor weather needs assessing; accessories must not cover a light or alter width inappropriately.
Payload, passenger and accessories
The person’s weight, luggage, shopping, any passenger, trailer or accessories must remain within permitted limits. Every fixing needs to be compatible and must not obstruct steering, braking, visibility or escape routes.
Storage, parking and transport
The vehicle needs to be stored and charged without blocking a passage or creating fire, trip or theft risks. For transport, check weight, securing points, ramp, lifting equipment and manufacturer instructions.
Trial, familiarisation and handover
A trial should reproduce everyday routes, access points, slopes, bends and manoeuvres. Handover needs to cover controls, braking, charging, any freewheel mode, documents, agreed accessories and after-sales contact details.
Maintenance, parts and repairs
Tyres, brakes, steering, fixings, lighting, battery, charger, any software and safety devices need checks under the maintenance schedule. Modification, incompatible parts or improvised repairs may alter conformity and safety.
Prepare an enquiry
Before contacting a provider, describe the vehicle type sought, routes, surfaces, slopes, distances, access dimensions, storage and charging location, payload, transport, accessories and budget.
Purchase, hire, quotation and contract
A quotation or contract should distinguish the exact model, new or used condition, accessories, battery, warranty, delivery, trial, maintenance, repairs, insurance, return costs and cancellation terms. Any regulatory promise should be documented.
Funding and possible support
Support from the IV, AHV, supplementary benefits or another scheme depends on personal circumstances, the type of aid and a prior procedure. Funding must not be assumed. The process needs clarifying before purchase or hire.
Clear limits
This page does not determine the legal category, road admission, right to use an area or the right vehicle for a person. Rules depend on the model and situation. After a defect, loss of control, collision, battery damage or serious doubt, use should stop until a competent check has been completed.
