Filed Under General
If you have trouble walking for long distances or standing for long periods of time, then you may want to consider purchasing a 4 or 3 wheel electric scooter. This type of mobility has become a common site at shopping malls, amusement parks or any other type of public location. They are also called mobility scooters. The first thing you need to discern is what you will be using the scooter for, as they are capable of a comfortable and smooth ride, but they each have their own set of unique features.
In general, the 3 wheel scooter provides more maneuverability, as the design allows for a turning radius that is quite a bit tighter. Normally, these powered scooters are lighter, more portable and narrower, and are especially suited for indoor use. The lighter weight and 3 wheel variety designs are not nearly as effective and have less stability for navigating on uneven roads.
By contrast, the 4 wheel scooters are actually optimized for heavier outdoor use, as the design does offer extra stability. Its weight is much heavier and the rugged tires ensure that you will get better traction but you lose some maneuverability. Many people feel that the 3 wheel electric scooter provides the ease of turning and maneuverability, as well as the design and light weight.
The 3 wheel scooter is a very popular choice and is available in a wide variety of designs, colors and styles from many different manufacturers. Also remember that it is possible for the electric mobility scooter to be changed and upgraded with different features in case you do cannot find exactly what you are looking for.
It is possible that the scooter you want does not have all of the features that you need, so keep in mind that it may be possible to upgrade from the basic 3 wheel electric scooter. You may be able to add a higher seat back, all-terrain tires and increased suspension. Be aware that many insurance companies will not insure the electric mobility scooter for anything but the basic price, leaving you to pay for the upgrades, etc. If this is the case with your insurance company, then see if your doctor will include a statement to them that these upgrades are a medical necessity. It never hurts to try.
