Having access to the freedom and independence that a scooter provides is what makes a mobility device such a wise investment.

Perhaps you’ve been considering purchasing a mobility scooter in the upcoming year. True, they do look like fun to ride around and you’ll probably have to kick your grandkids off more than once.

There’s so much to see and do in the summertime and many individuals who experience mobility impairments choose to use a mobility scooter to do just that. Electric mobility scooters are the perfect device for moving around your neighborhood in comfort.

Some patients have expressed that the reason they avoid going out is that they are exhausted for days afterward from the effort. With a portable scooter this is no longer the case. You can get places, run errands, or just enjoy a sunny day outside without using your energy.

Many of these devices however, are built in larger sizes, which make them extremely challenging to transport on a regular car. Often a van with a ramp is needed if you plan to take your scooter to the mall, a park or on a trip. That is where portable mobility scooters– also known as travel mobility scooters– come in.

Just because compact electric mobility scooters don’t come with the size of full-size mobility scooters, it doesn’t mean that they aren’t equipped with great features. All of them come with ample, removable carry baskets, some have interchangeable plate colors, anti-tip wheels and more.
