If you find it difficult to walk longer distances, a mobility scooter can be a great investment to help you get out and about once it is safe to do so.
Mobility scooters offer a supportive way to build your independence through increased freedom, with a range of designs available to suit different lifestyles and personal needs.

We understand that buying a mobility scooter is a big decision and one which is vitally important to get right, not only for your comfort but also your safety. Below, we discuss the considerations you should make when looking for a mobility scooter and the important questions you need to ask.
There are many types of mobility scooters available with different designs, sizes and speeds suited to different people. If you’re unsure about which mobility scooter would be best for your needs, you may want to seek advice from a health professional, such as an Occupational Therapist, who will be able to assess your abilities and recommend a scooter to keep you comfortable and safe.
There are lots of things to consider when choosing a mobility scooter, not just when you are using it, but also when you’re storing, charging or transporting it. It’s important that you are able to safely move the scooter in and out of your home, which for some people may include steps, sloped paths or a lift, or you have support from someone who can help you.
If you intend to use your new mobility scooter outdoors, you’ll need to consider what terrains it can drive across smoothly and double check how far its battery life can take you. Some mobility scooters, are suitable for multiple outdoor terrains, including grass, pavements and even gravel, due to its sturdier wheels. It’s also important to know that different scooters have varying levels of speed and battery life, making some more suitable for longer journeys, such as 6-8mph mobility scooters.
If you want to get out and about by car, but still require support to explore your destination, a folding mobility scooter, boot scooter or travel mobility scooter may be ideal. Both styles are designed for easier storage during transportation and come boxed, with free delivery to your door.
It is important to check the measurements of a mobility scooter before purchasing to help you choose a seat that comfortably supports you.
