What Is a Mobility Scooter?
The medical scooter is a high quality, multi-featured mobility apparatus, offering even individuals with low mobility the freedom to and independence of getting around without the help of others like a patient in a manual wheelchair. Power scooters are operated with the use of a tiller, and are equipped with swivel seats to make it easy to access and exit the mobility scooter.
Steering and maneuvering a mobility scooter does require some hand and finger coordination to operate the tiller, as well as sufficient seated balance and the mobility required to sit down and stand up independently.
Features and Benefits of Electric Mobile Scooters
Mobility chairs offer not only a ton of options to choose from, but many benefits and features that render battery-operated mobility scooters both unique and helpful.
Portable Options
Some power scooters are able to be assembled and disassembled quickly and easily, allowing convenient stowage into smaller compartments like a trunk or storage space.
Foldability
Some motorized mobility scooters offer the ability to fold up so they can also be placed in smaller places. These are excellent for travelling, making them great for the active elderly population.
Another benefit of medical scooters is that they offer a longer distance range on a single charge, making them the ideal powered mobility aid for extended outdoor trips.
Stylish
If you’re looking for a cool mobility scooter, there are options to choose from that also include sporty style finishes as well as those which have 2-seater options, buggy designs and more.
Lightweight
Since medical scooters can cost a great deal, a lightweight scooter, which is often slightly lower-priced, is often an option that will accommodate the needs of someone who is very price conscious. These scooters are often portable or foldable, and the parts themselves can be taken off. These models are great options for those who have a difficult time lifting heavy objects.
Medical Supply Scooters Can Be Cheaper
Many power chairs cost no less than a thousand dollars, but chair scooters can cost significantly less than even that. One reason for this is their smaller design. Some mobility scooter stores offer the standard retail price, but many of them scale the price up significantly. At AvaCare Medical, many of our discount scooters offer the same functionality as some of the ones that are much higher priced!
Safer Fast Travel
Faster wheelchair models can be unsafe and cause tips, falls, and nasty overturns. Most power chairs travel as fast as many wheelchairs (approximately 5-8 mph), but some power scooters can safely travel at 15 miles per hour. Their ability to travel at faster speeds makes them a great choice for those who are younger, or have less of a handicap. These mobility scooter motors are often higher powered, and, therefore, may require more battery usage.
