Medical Scooter: Powered Mobility Equipment And Electic Scooters

By:

Published: June 22, 2007

Whether it be from a chronic condition, paralysis caused by injury, or simply due to complications associated with aging, limited mobility affects many Americans. With today's medical equipment, there's no reason anyone should suffer with being stuck indoors or having to be carted around by a caretaker when there are options available. The best choice for many suffering from limited mobility is an electric scooter, also referred to more technically as power mobility equipment.

A medical scooter is a necessity for those with disabling conditions, paralysis, or who simply cannot move with comfort and ease. There is no longer any need for the loss of freedom and mobility that comes with disabling conditions and aging. Powered by electricity, a medical scooter is made up of a sturdy but light frame, a comfortable padded chair, and either three or four wheels. They also feature a steering mechanism, usually handlebars, and armrests. Medical scooters often feature a basket or compartment for storage, as users rely on scooters as part of their daily lives. Most medical scooters run on a battery and have a range of between 10 and 20 miles between charges. It usually takes six to eight hours to charge a battery and battery life depends on factors such as user weight, surface type, and grade of inclination traveled.

One of the biggest suppliers of medical scooters, serving over 300,000 since 1991, is the SCOOTER store. Their line of medical scooters showcases several different types of electric scooters and power chairs. All of their electric scooters are easy to disassemble for transport. They range from the sleek and versatile Go-Go Ultra X and Start electric scooters to the larger and roomier Revo and Celebrity X. While electric scooters are geared towards those who want to get out and do things like shop or enjoy themselves in public places like malls, a power chair is more for those who want to get around easier in their own home. The SCOOTER Store has a large selection of both of these essentials in powered mobility equipment.

Another major source for medical scooters is SpinLife. From power lift chairs to electric wheelchairs to electric scooters, SpinLife has a huge selection of medical scooters to help those in need of freedom and mobility. Their selection of electric scooters can't be beat. Their best electric scooters for those on the go, who don't want to spend too much money, are their three-wheel travel scooters. These compact medical scooters feature the tightest turning radius and are lightweight for easy transport. Starting at only $589, they break down into four pieces, none over 22 pounds. Their three-wheel electric scooters are the most versatile. Best for both indoor and outdoor use, these medical scooters are known for their comfort and maneuverability.SpinLife works with Medicare and doctors to ensure the best coverage for this medical equipment. Technical support is always available via an 800 number and all mobility scooters can be returned within 30 days if unsatisfied for any reason.

Some other great sites for medical scooters are Discount Scooters and the Mobility Scooter Guide. Discount Scooters is one of the largest dealers of powered mobility equipment in the country. In existence since 1994, their store is based out of Providence, R.I. It features a full customer support staff and warehouse.

Their website offers a comparison chart for all their medical scooters, showing factors like speed, range, body type, price, and more. All of their medical scooters come with free shipping, batteries, and charger.

A great site for news, information, and other resources about medical scooters is The Mobility Scooter Guide. More than just a guide, the site features articles of importance to mobility scooter users, a blog for users to communicate through, and links to consumer information and reviews of scooters. With free registration, the site is the first place any electric scooter user should turn to for the latest news, information, and deals on mobility scooters.
