Who should purchase a mobility scooter?
Scooters serve as a mobility aid to help individuals having difficulty walking or moving around. It can be because they suffer from a severe injury or their mobility is impaired due to a chronic condition, such as arthritis or cerebral palsy.
Along with medical-related issues, there are many more reasons for using scooters.
These devices are also ideal for people who:
- Use a wheelchair – Wheelchairs are not designed to tread on rough terrains, so they are limited in this regard. If this is the case with you, the simple solution is to buy a scooter.
- Are aging – As people age and begin to experience difficulty with mobility, the risk of falling while walking or standing increases. Seating safely on a scooter addresses such a risk.
- Wish they can walk faster without getting exhausted – Sometimes, it can feel belittling when your friends wait for you to catch up when walking with them.
- Are experiencing mobility difficulties - it doesn't matter how old you are. If you're experiencing troubles with your movement, consider a scooter to help you
Thankfully, technology has provided the solution for people with mobility issues. We are a channel of this blessing. Modern gadgets here at our online store become available to people and families with mobility concerns.
You won't just spend long periods of time sitting doing nothing. A scooter is key to your new mobility and independent living, so you should certainly consider purchasing one.
How do mobility scooters work?
Mobility scooters are battery-powered vehicles. These vehicles may have one or two rechargeable batteries charged by an onboard or a separate battery charger.
In other countries, gasoline-powered scooters are also available. However, they will likely be replaced by electric models sooner than later.
If you need to use a scooter to provide mobility and exercise at the same time, a user-powered model is fit for that purpose. It comes with a lever that is used in a pull-push rowing motion.
The different types available for mobility scooters include:
- User-powered – usually smaller and comes without motor or battery
- Light or everyday mobility scooter – perfect for travelling; foldable and easy to disassemble into smaller parts. They typically require limited strength to use.
- Mid-range – intended for use for both indoors and outdoors
- Steady and slow – for shopping and other activities inside a mall or establishment
- Heavy-duty mobility scooter – units designed to withstand rough terrain

Can I get help with the cost of a mobility scooter?
Yes, you can - through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). If you have received funding from the federal government body - the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) - you can get help accessing the costly equioment needed to assist with your decline in mobility.
Under the NDIS, mobility scooters are classified as assisted technology (AT) devices. This basically means they are considered devices that help people perform tasks they couldn't otherwise do. You will typically need to do an assessment to see if you qualify from an AT assssor under the NDIS.
We know that your mobility matters. We want to make sure you can et access to the comfort outcomes you need at an affordable price. Speak to us to see if you can get a scooter as part of a broader home care package under the NDIS.
What is the difference between mobility scooters and electric wheelchairs?
Mobility scooters and electric wheelchairs differ in many ways:
- Electric wheelchairs are operated using a joystick, while mobility scooters are operated using a tiller handle. Therefore, an electric wheelchair requires less movement on the user’s upper body, while mobility scooters require using both hands for steering and control.
- The turning circle for mobility scooters is bigger than electric wheelchairs.
- Wheels – Electric wheelchairs have six or more wheels, while mobility scooters come with only three or four wheels.
If you are a more able-bodied person who can walk or stand unaided, the more suitable option for you is a mobility scooter. For those elderly people or injured individuals who are less able and require more support, the general recommendation is to buy an electric wheelchair.
