Mobility Product Info
Do you have difficulty walking short distances or getting around your home? A mobility scooter or electric wheelchair may help you reclaim your freedom of movement and independence. Tasks once impossible—moving around the house, going to the mall with your family, moving room to room during the holidays—may now be performed with ease.
There are different kinds of mobility scooters and electric wheelchairs available. One distinction is three and four wheel versions. Take a look at the different mobility options available and see which one is right for you.
Getting a power wheelchair or mobility scooter is just the beginning of your investment into this life-changing device. There are also several accessories available for electric wheelchairs and powered scooters, including:
- Batteries. To make sure your scooter is always on the run, consider extra batteries.
- Covers and Canopies. You will want to make sure your scooter is in optimal condition when not in use. A cover or canopy protects the device from weathering.
- Front and Rear Baskets. Similar to a bicycle, a front or rear basket makes transporting goods on your scooter that much more manageable. These are ideal for scooters used for travel or shopping.
- Cane, Crutch, and Walker Holders. Scooters may be equipped with a secure holder for your walker, crutch, or cane so that they are available when the scooter is not in use.
- Safety Flags. Make sure everyone around is aware of your presence with a safety flag. This will alert drivers when you cross the street and similar situations.
- Cup Holder. The cup holder is a smaller alternative to a basket if you are looking for somewhere to store your beverage or bottle of water.
- Cushions. Portable cushions are made to-go on the scooter to provide maximum comfort.
