We've put together this quick guide to give you an idea of the types of electric mobility scooters available and how to start narrowing down your options.

Types of electric mobility scooters

Today's mobility scooters are designed for every possible requirement, whether you're looking for a general-purpose scooter for around the house and about town or a lightweight and compact model for air travel.The main options include:

Automatic folding scooters

These state-of-the-art mobility scooters can fold themselves up neatly at the touch of a button, reducing in size to make them convenient to carry and transport as luggage or in the back of your car.

Manual folding scooters

Another lightweight and portable option, manual folding scooters are generally more affordable than self-folding scooters, but their folding mechanisms can still be simple to use, depending on your abilities.

Pull-apart scooters

These scooters can be dismantled into their individual components, allowing them to be made even more compact for transport. However, this can require more effort and dexterity than a folding scooter.

How to choose an electric mobility scooter for your needs

Our knowledgeable support staff can help you to select the best electric mobility scooter for your requirements. Some of the most important points to consider are:

1. Purpose

• The type of terrain you'll be traversing, how long you'll be sitting down for and other considerations will determine the best type of mobility equipment for your needs. For example:
• If you may be driving over uneven paving, grass or dirt paths, you should look for a scooter with suspension or larger tyres.
• If you'll be making long-distance trips, a comfortable seat is a must and you could benefit from luxury extras.
• If you'll mainly be using the scooter at home or indoors, an electric wheelchair could be a better fit.

 

2. Capacity

Choose a scooter that can support your weight plus anything extra you'll be carrying. For example, if you weigh 160kg, it's a good idea to look at a 180kg or 200kg capacity unit.

Mobility scooters also come in a range of heights, with some makes and models having open fronts if you need extra legroom.

3. Portability

Do you want a portable mobility scooter that you can tuck away in the car boot, or a large scooter with many of the features of a car?

Larger scooters can offer more luxury and comfort, but they can also be harder to transport and to use indoors.

4. Cost

Price shouldn't be the only consideration, but it's important to keep your budget in mind when comparing electric mobility scooter costs.

You could save money by choosing a model with fewer features. You should also consider whether you need any parts or accessories.
