This may be a really silly question so please except my apologies . My wife is disabled so uses a mobility scooter. We are getting to the age where lifting (it has to be a big scooter) a scooter in to the back is getting harder and harder. So my question is. Can I buy a used mobility car like a Renault kangoo (make is just an example) with a ramp floor built in to it so she can just drive said scooter in to the back of the car and also have a tow bar fitted to tow a caravan. Is the fact it has a ramp stopping me being able to have a tow bar fitted.
No you can't fit a towbar to a car like Kangoo or Berlingo adapted with a ramp floor. You can put a mobility scooter into a standard Berlingo or similar car using ramps here. Much cheaper than buying an adapted vehicle & you can still have a towbar.

Excellent idea but no good for three wheeler scooters though.

My wife had a Berlingo, unadapted, but we couldn't get my scooter in with a four foot ramp. We had to use two together with a box in the middle, otherwise the scooter would ground on the edge of the van.
It might have worked with a five foot ramp but we changed the van instead. Now have a fully converted Partner, but tow with much larger vehicles.
So the 7ft telescopic ramps as in the ebay link could be a go'er then, yes?..Provided op's mobility scooter has 4 wheels obviously. I guess it probably does, not that many 3 wheelers about.
