My mother has had a stroke and while she can still communicate normally her mobility has been impaired, and as a result she uses a mobility scooter for getting around out of the house. It's a battery powered fold up scooter and after use my dad folds it up, picks it up, and loads it into the boot of the car, however, it's getting too heavy for him to lift as he has a bad back. Is anybody aware of something like a hoist that can be used for these that doesn't cost a fortune?

If you buy a Subaru, the company will install a lift free for you (I am not sure, but they may also provide the scooter). They have a program to help disabled people.

The Bruno company has a number of possible solutions. Made in USA too. Any mobility company can
install ( usually on a trailer hitch). We have used one for years an its a roll on / off. Easy to use and better yet no lifting anything . Check ebay for a used one. We bought ours new. A purchase we have not regretted once.

There are many options. Most all require a trailer hitch on your car. Horborfreight has a hitch mounted platform you can drive it onto. There are other more fancy options but anytime you say mobility scooter the price will go up. My disabled friend got a handicapped equipped van with lifts and everything. He got disability to pay for it. So look into what medical assistance you might get paying for it.
whatever you get think about the operation of it and how easy it will be to operated and load/unload
