| Description: |
Mobility scooters are designed for people who have some mobility but are challenged by slopes or distances. We offer a wide variety of mobility scooters to fit your needs. Leading manufacturers such as Invacare, Pride, and Drive Medical provide quality scooters that come in a number of styles which can accommodate a wide range of user needs. When selecting a mobility scooter one should consider where the scooter will primarily be used (indoor, outdoor or both), how often the scooter will be transported in a car and any specific seating/accessory needs.
Most mobility scooters are defined by four features which separate them from power wheelchairs: Scooters are directed by a tiller at the front of the base that can steers the front wheel. This arm can be tilted and locked allowing a safe and comfortable ride for all users. Forward and reverse motion is controlled by two thumb levers. The seat of scooters is usually mounted on a stem, allowing many scooter seats to rotate from side to side. Finally, scooters have a base board instead of footrests. Scooters are steered using a tiller, you need sufficient arm strength to drive it and thumb mobility to use the controls. Our staff can walk you through the process of finding the right mobility scooter to fulfill your needs.
