I don't know that you can argue that a mobility scooter ceases to become a mobility scooter if the rider does not have a physical disability. I don't think physical disability is defined in the Act so it could be any ailment couldn't it?

It is a "mobility aid" if the person using it has a "physical disability". If it is an able bodied person, then I my guess is the Costanza ruling comes into play.
