Mobility Scooter
You may have decided that having a scooter will improve the quality of your life. So what do you need to know now before you buy?It is important that you take time to consider which type of mobility scooter you should buy in the same way that you would with a car. Both are big items and purchases, both need to be fit for purpose. Whilst a compact Smart Car may be great if you live in a city, it would be inadequate for use if you live in the mountains or an area prone to snow drifts mud slides or flooding- your scooter needs to be thought of in the same way, match it to the purpose, your local terrain as well as personal preference and pocket!
Consider what type of journey you expect to be tackling on your scooter. Is it likely to be very short journeys close to home on good flat surfaces or will it be more long journeys mostly over poor pavements and rough ground? Do you live in the countryside perhaps? Is water, mud or snow a consideration for you?
