Which is the Best Mobility Scooter for You?

Once you’ve determined you would like to invest, or rent, a mobility scooter how do you decide which type to go with?  It’s truly a personal choice, but there are many factors to consider:

• Storage
• Usage
• Transportability
• Comfort
• Appearance
• Safety
• Cost
• Options Available

Three-wheel or four-wheel?

• Three-wheeled scooters offer a tighter turning radius.
• They offer more legroom because of the absence of the two front wheels.
• They are wonderful on flat terrain.
• Four-wheeled scooters provide more stability on a variety of terrains.

Traditional or folding? 

• A traditional scooter typically comes apart into a number of pieces for transporting
• A folding scooter typically folds into a compact unit for transporting

Size – determined by weight and usage?

• Standard
• Heavy-Duty
• Bariatric
