The number of mobility scooters UK citizens have to choose from is growing every month. Manufacturers have realised an aging population may be slowed down by mobility issues but that they still want to be able to go out and do things. The mobility scooter has become more affordable and reliable. Before you buy one there are 5 areas you should think about to ensure you find a scooter that meets your particular requirements.
Size: will the mobility scooter fit in the places you want to take it, store it and charge it. Will it fit through your front gate? What is the maximum load the scooter can carry. Does the scooter need to fit in another vehicle to be transported around
Seat: Do you need a seat that moves in a particular way such as swiveling perhaps or does it need to be able to go up or down.
How many wheels: A three wheeler may be easier to maneuver but it likely to be less stable than a four wheeler. The four wheelers handle rough ground a lot better and are much better for going up and down curbs.
Battery: What sort of battery does the mobility scooter have and how far will you be able to go with it. Check how often it will need charging and the possible cost to replace.
Think about where you want to use your mobility scooter. Riding on the road with mobility scooter UK laws and council regulations will apply. But if it most running will be on flat ground to and from the shopping centre your needs will be different than if you have to maneuver up and down steeper terrain.
