Was the proposal with Fish? http://www.fishinsurance.co.uk/

They are usually pretty good. Alternatively, you can usually get a 
powerchair / scooter
included on a home contents policy (as suggested by another poster) at 
no extra cost.
This will include liability.

Although to be honest, liability insurance is not required by law for 
mobility equipment,
and any claims against a person for liability will be a civil case, not 
a legal one, and if the
person does not have any assets to pay for such a claim (eg home, car, 
worthwhile goods & chattels), then the claimant will not get very far.

not the right attitude
get liability insurance if your going to ride a scooter that could seriously 
injure an innocent person(s)
