Mobility Scooters

Mobility Scooters allow the handicapped and the elderly to continue to take an active role in our society.   These scooters can be used in homes to maneuver from room to room or can be used outside to drive on sidewalks or go into stores to purchase items.   These scooters have allowed a large segment of our society to lead more productive lives.

The scooters tend to be either 3 or 4 wheel models which offer full range of motion and can travel at maximum speeds just over 5 mph.  In addition, they can go up to 15 miles without a charge.  These electric scooters offer quite a bit of versatility as you can purchase ones tailored more to your needs.  Some come equipped with larger wheels and are designed for more outside use whereas some are more focused specifically on inside use.

The price tag for these scooters runs about $1,000 to $2,000 depending on the model and features; however, an increasing number of the scooters are purchased with insurance.   This helps reduce the cost and allows for more individuals to use these scooters.   These scooters popularity is expected to continue to grow as baby boomers continue to age.   These scooters serve a vital need in our community and, I look forward to seeing them improve in function and design.
