Mobility scooters are an excellent means for the mobility challenged to regain and maintain their mobility, even while outdoors. These scooters can be front or rear wheel drives, with a seat over the two rear wheels and a handlebar for navigation. They are typically battery powered, and available in various models, ranging from the bare bones version to the most heavy duty ones.

Tips for Buying Mobility Scooters

Mobility scooters can be your ticket to freedom and the key to restoring your self-esteem. However, you must not buy them in haste. Here are some points to ponder before buying one:

  • Determine whether the scooter will be used indoors or outdoors. Scooters for outdoor use must be checked for stability, speed and adaptability to different terrains, among other factors.
  • If you want to drive on roads instead of sidewalks, check the local laws and speed limits.
  • Check for additional features, such as swivel seats, enhanced leg room and better handlebar alignments.
  • Check their portability and ease-of-use. Also consider whether they are easy to assemble and disassemble.

Safety Precautions While Using Mobility Scooters

These points can ensure you a safe ride on your mobility scooters:

  • Always ride on the sidewalk, wherever possible. This would eliminate the risk of road mishaps.
  • Always attach a flag to the rear end of your scooter, so that it can be seen from a distance. The mobility challenged veterans and senior citizens in the US attach the Stars and the Stripes to their scooters.
  • In warmer places, a sunshade can be used to avoid heat strokes and to maintain body hydration.
  • Always keep a first-aid box and a portable survival kit with you, for any emergencies.
  • Finally, ensure that the battery is charged fully; and if possible, keep a spare one.

Medicare Coverage for Purchasing Mobility Scooters

Medicare covers the cost of purchasing these scooters, provided you qualify for it. Get a prescription from your physician stating your needs and provide this to the supplier before the billing process begins.
