Whether it's worthwhile depends upon the cost of getting it picked up.

for that price I would want delivery to be included
Have you considered second hand? This is delivered and 1/4 of the cost TGA Breeze S3 8MPH All-Terrain Mobility Scooter (2016) | eBay
It was only to show what it is. I'm looking at one on evilbay.

My BFF 's mother has one. I had to ship it to Sardinia for her and it went on a pallet, strapped down, very easily and I just screwed an MDF and pallet wood box around it. Hence any pallet shipper should be able to deal with that short distance as long as someone can strap it to a pallet. For that job I would cling film wrap it for protection as well. Good luck.

Understand now. If I was closer to you I would put it in my van for dieselIt was only to show what it is. I'm looking at one on evilbay.
I might be able to get someone with a van to do it, but then of course I have to work out how to get it in the van.

two people can lift one of those in a van
That's what I was thinking. Two 75ah batteries removed would help.
Scaffold boards I might take a chance with.
It's speculative atm. Bideford to Redruth. That's from out in the sticks to even further out in the sticks, to you.
One of the pallet carriers quoted £400.
Yeah ............ with five or six overnight stays along the way to recharge it.

but it would be an epic journey.
If you got something smaller you could take it on the train. And the buses once you get it home.

Make sure you double them up!
Quick story from a good few years ago.
My builders had finished a job for me and were putting their cement mixer back on the pick up by running it up two scaffold boards. It wasn't one of the little modern mixers that you can easily lift we are talking one of the proper big old things. They were nearly at the top of their "ramp" when one of the boards snapped, the mixer fell sideways causing it to do a slow motion roll along the ground ............straight in to the side of the local hairdressers brand new bright red Peugeot 205 GTI that she had just collected that morning
(told you it was a few years ago).We laugh about it now but he didn't see the funny side of it at the time
