Mobility Scooters for Sale

Finding the right power scooter for your needs can be a challenging process. What type of scooter will suit your lifestyle best? A compact scooter or a rugged standard or heavy-duty scooter? Will you primarily be using the scooter outdoors, indoors, or both?

Power scooters come in a variety of different models, with each style having its own unique set of capabilities and benefits. Some mobility scooters will be better for travel and maneuverability, while others will excel at traversing outdoor terrain and supporting higher weight capacities. Be sure to review all the options available to you before making a purchase. No matter what your needs are, Scootaround will have a fantastic electric mobility scooter that can enhance your independence and support your lifestyle.

3-Wheel Scooters

Three-wheel scooters have a smaller turning radius than standard four-wheel models, providing more maneuverability in tight spaces. This makes them the preferred option for users who will be using the scooter indoors on a regular basis. Three-wheel mobility scooters can typically support weight capacities from 300 to 400 lbs and come in a wide range of styles.

4-Wheel Scooters

Four-wheel scooters provide more stability than three-wheel models and often support higher weight capacities as well. Due to their wider turning radius, four-wheel scooters are better suited for outdoor use, although they also perform well in large indoor spaces like malls and grocery stores.

Portable Scooters

Portable mobility scooters either fold up or disassemble for easy transportation in the trunk of a car. These scooters are perfect for users who travel frequently or have on-the-go lifestyles. While they are the most lightweight type of scooter, they also have the lowest overall weight capacity.

Standard Scooters

Standard scooters are larger than portable scooters. They offer more spacious seating and storage than their lightweight counterparts and also have larger batteries, allowing the user to travel farther on a single charge. Standard mobility scooters are slightly more difficult to transport due to their additional size and weight.

Heavy-Duty Scooters

For people who weigh more than 400 pounds, heavy duty mobility scooters are the best option.Heavy-duty scooters can support weight capacities up to 500 pounds or more, making them an ideal choice for users who are looking for a durable and robust mobility solution. Like standard scooters, their large batteries allow them to travel farther on a full charge. They also typically have a higher ground clearance.

Every scooter has its own set of unique benefits and features. Depending on the model you choose, specifications such as maximum speed, driving range, weight capacity, and turning radius could vary greatly. Think hard about what you are looking for from your new mobility scooter and where you will be riding it. Below are some key features to consider before purchasing your power scooter.

• Maneuverability: a smaller turning radius will allow you to maneuver better in narrow spaces. This is important for users who will primarily be using the scooter indoors.

• Size: the overall size of the scooter will affect key features such as comfort, portability, and battery life.

• Weight Capacity: scooters can support 250 to 500 lbs or more depending on the model. Transportable mobility scooters will typically have a lower weight capacity, while the capacity of heavy-duty and all-terrain scooters will be substantially higher.

• Comfort: a scooter should be supportive and large enough to accommodate the user. Pay close attention to the width of the seat and whether the handicap scooter comes with things like armrests or a padded cushion.

• Speed: most scooters have a top speed between 6 and 18 km/h.

• Driving Range: medical scooters can travel anywhere from 13 to 39 kilometers per charge. Think about where you will be using the scooter and how far you need it to go in a single day.

• Portability: a lightweight or foldable scooter will be easier to transport than one that doesn’t disassemble.

• Ground Clearance: if you’ll be using your mobility scooter outdoors on a regular basis, look for a model that has a higher ground clearance. This will allow you to traverse curbs and other obstacles more easily.
