Electric mobility scooters are a boon for people with disabilities and mobility issues. Also known as mobility scooters, they are essentially used to provide assistance to disabled persons by providing independence in movement. The elderly or the people suffering from arthritis and heart strokes are able to achieve greater degree of mobility with their help.
Electric mobility scooters generally come with either three or four wheels depending on the load and the level of steadiness needed. Unlike the earlier models, which were heavier, with the advancement of technology, lighter and user-friendly versions are available these days.
The 3 wheel scooters can carry a load up to 250 pounds whereas the 4 wheel scooters, though bulkier, can generally carry another 100 pounds of more weight. Both electric and gas powered mobility scooters are available, though most go for the electrical powered ones especially in the homes, as there are no carbon emission and the are also quieter.
Much like bicycles, steering is controlled by a handle bar with thumb controls attached. They are also fitted with swivel seats, auto-lock device for safety, baskets and lights. They can also be easily folded and transported in the cars. Due to this reason, they are becoming more popular than the wheel chairs.
