The Best Mobility Scooters Available for Seniors
Mobility scooters resemble motor scooters in appearance. They’re intended to be a cost-effective alternative to powered electric wheelchairs. They are, in fact, more fashionable than the former and in comparison to electric wheelchairs, offer little medical function. To fully use the mobility scooter, you must possess hand, shoulder, upper body strength and balance. They’re also known as “power vehicles” and come in various configurations. Some are intended for interior usage, while others perform well outside – especially on rough terrain. Certain portable variations are ideal for travel.
Advantages of owning a mobility scooter
All of the problems associated with mobility can be solved with a travel or mobility scooter and the people who use one will regain their mobility and freedom! Seniors who have trouble walking or have pain in their joints need mobility scooters to help them get around; people on oxygen can use their scooters to move with the apparatus more quickly and easily. The elderly with weaker joints can regain mobility thanks to these scooters; they can now do more than they did in the past, on their own.
Six considerations for purchasing a mobility scooter for seniors
In your search for the best mobility scooter for seniors, you will need to think about important things. Here are some of the most important considerations:
- Intended use: What do you want to do with the scooter? This is an important question which must be answered before buying any kind of model. There are options for travel, outdoor use, indoor use, and many other things. We also have bariatric designs for people who are obese.
- Turning radius: The best model for home use and small areas should have a small turning radius so that it’s easy to move around.
- Driving range: Using the scooter must have enough range (charge) to get you where you want to go. This is how far the scooter can go on a single charge of electricity. Some can go for a long time without needing to be charged constantly.
- Speed: Speed is another thing which needs to be taken into account. There are fast and slow models. The fast models can go up to 14mph, while some slow models can go only 3.5mph. These speeds are often limited by local or countrywide restrictions, so the top speed will depend on where you live.
- Weight capacity: The best scooter should be able to handle your overall weight (which includes the weight of all things you want to take with you). Mobility scooters tend to have higher weight handling and travel mobility scooters, less.
- Inclines: Models with good incline performance are what you want to use if you want to use the scooter outside. Batteries need to be charged for a certain period (normally overnight). It’s important to think about how long it takes for the battery to charge fully; some take about 8 hours to charge.
