Tips for Buying Mobility Scooters

Mobility scooters are designed for people with mobility but who are facing slopes or distances. We offer a wide variety of mobility scooters to meet your needs. Leading manufacturers, such as Invacare, Pride and Drive Medical, offer quality scooters in a number of styles that can meet a wide range of user needs. When selecting a mobility scooter, it must be determined where the scooter will be used primarily (indoor, outdoor or both), how often the scooter will be transported in a car and all the needs / accessories of specific seats.


Most mobility scooters are defined by four features that separate them from electric wheelchairs: Scooters are steered by a bar at the front of the base that can steer the front wheel. This arm can be tilted and locked allowing a safe and comfortable ride for all users. The forward and backward motion is controlled by two thumb levers. The scooter seat is usually mounted on a rod, allowing many scooter seats to rotate from side to side. Finally, scooters have a basic board instead of footrest. Scooters are guided with a bar, you need sufficient arm strength to drive and thumb mobility to use the controls. Our staff can guide you through the process of finding the right mobility scooter to meet your needs.
