MOBILITY SCOOTERS
Live Life On Your Terms With a Mobility Scooter
Don’t let mobility limitations hold you back from what you want to do. A mobility scooter provides a safe and comfortable way to overcome mobility challenges and regain your independence.
What is a Mobility Scooter?
The mobility scooter is a reliable and convenient mode of transportation for individuals with limited mobility. It provides a safe and comfortable way to navigate through various environments, whether indoors or outdoors, whether to visit friends and family, go shopping, or engage in outdoor activities. With its compact design and easy maneuverability, the mobility scooter offers independence and freedom to those who need assistance in getting around.
Scooter Configurations
Scooters come in 3 or 4-wheel configurations. The 3-wheel models provide excellent maneuverability, making them ideal for indoor, tight spaces. Scooters with the 4-wheel configuration offer added stability, particularly for outdoor use. Other factors that may be considered include battery range, seating style, control interface, and accessories such as cup holders, storage baskets, or oxygen tank holders.

How to Choose a Mobility Scooter
It is important to choose a mobility scooter that meets your unique mobility requirements and lifestyle. You first want to assess your mobility needs, including where and how you plan to use the cooter (indoors, outdoors, or both), and how far you will need to travel regularly with the scooter and on what types of terrain. Next, you should make sure to discuss your mobility needs with your healthcare providers.
