The GK9 is the mid-sized Shoprider take-apart scooter. It is faster, has a longer range and more power than the GK8 - but is still considerably lighter than the GK10.

The GK9 shares many features with its siblings, including no-flat foam-filled tires, easy disassembly, and a remarkably light weight for its size.

The battery splits into two parts, each with its own handle, and can be charged on or off the scooter.

The control panel has a large illuminated battery gauge so you should never get caught with inadequate charge. It also contains the key switch, maximum speed knob and the horn button. Underneath is the throttle control.

The front bumper and rear anti-tip wheels prevent the bodywork getting scratched, bumped and scraped.

The basket can be lifted off and the tiller quickly folded down. The steering is easily locked to stop the wheels turning when loading the scooter.
