Mobility Scooters

Mobility scooters, there are so many brands and models to chose from that researching and reading reviews can be confusing. An electric scooter can offer you freedom and pride without having to relie on help with others. Mobility scooters come in many capacities, colors or styles such as 3 wheel or 4 wheel. It pays to do your research and review you options before making that purchase.

Quite a few light capacity mobility scooters have a maximum load of 250 pounds. A certain amount of light weight models can be broken down into a few sections or folded for easy transport in a vehicle. Many high capacity electric mobility scooters may require an electric lift. Always check with your insurance before buying or making that purchase.

Quite a few low capacity scooters consist of 3 wheel models. These scooters can maneuver tighter areas such as grocery isles and around the house but are more prone to tipping. 4 wheel models tend to be more stable are not likely to tip unless on a steep grade. They are likely to have a greater range and if for outdoor use this is where a 4 wheel electric mobility scooter shines. There are many factors to consider when choosing an electric mobility scooter, range and battery capacity are worth considering.

Also consider range and charging if you have a short range you will be spending more time charging. At some point you may need to replace batteries. Over time a rechargeable battery will lose its ability to take a full charge and your range could decrease.

On three wheel light capacity models you may see a range of about ten miles. On four wheel higher capacity electric mobility scooters you may anticipate a range of around 25 miles. It is dependent on the brand and model.

When purchasing a mobility scooter you have to ask yourself what you will be using it for. Is it for indoor or outdoor use. Will you be using it primarily indoors, to get around the golf course or make trips down to the local grocery store to pick up groceries. If you are picking up several bags of groceries you may need one with further range and capacity and this would apply to golf and because of the weight of the bag and clubs. Depending on your lifestyle you may require more than one mobility scooter.

Tires are another factor to consider because air filled tires may be prone to flats but give a better ride that solid core tires. Solid core tires will last longer and flats will not be an issue. Pneumatic tires will need to be checked often for optimal wear and performance. What tires you choose will depend on model or use such as indoors or out.

There are many things to consider when you buy a scooter for mobility. Always check with Medicare or your medical insurance to make sure your purchase is covered. Just make sure you have reviewed all your options and done your research before making that purchase.
