Finding the best mobility scooter, wheelchair, or powerchair for the outdoors is often a difficult process. You’ll need a device that combines rugged design with exceptional range and comfort.

Which features are most important in an outdoor wheelchair or mobility scooter? Here are some of the key factors to take into consideration.

• Durability: Outdoor mobility scooters and wheelchairs are typically more rugged than standard devices. They are often constructed from stronger materials and have reinforced bumpers. When shopping, look for a sturdy mobility device that has been tested for safety and durability.

• Traction: As an outdoor lover, you’ll likely be driving your mobility device down bumpy hiking trails, gravel paths, and beach boardwalks. These surfaces require added traction, so look for a scooter or wheelchair with durable rubber tires.

• Driving Range: When you’re adventuring in the great outdoors, the last thing you want to be worried about is running out of battery. Most outdoor mobility devices have an extended driving range, with some models traveling up to 20 miles or more on a single charge.

• Suspension: Devices with front and rear suspension will provide a smooth ride over difficult outdoor terrain, allowing you to remain comfortable throughout the day.
