What are the types of folding mobility scooters?

Folding mobility scooters can be divided into two primary types: automatic folding scooters and manual folding scooters. An automatic folding mobility scooter, also referred to as an auto folding mobility scooter, can fold and unfold with the use of a remote control and does not require any physical effort from the user. This is particularly helpful for those who may have limited strength or might have difficulty kneeling or bending to manually fold the scooter. Manual folding mobility scooters require the user to physically fold and unfold the scooter. Although this takes more effort than folding an automatic folding scooter it is usually accomplished in just a few simple steps. Both manual and automatic folding mobility scooters are an excellent choice for traveling both on long trips, such as flights or cruises, or just a quick day trip to the mall.

 

What is the Best Folding Mobility Scooter?

While it would be nice to be able to declare one folding mobility scooter the “best” there is not a one size fits all answer to the question. Everyone has unique needs that require an individualized answer. Even though all folding scooters function very similarly they all have specific characteristics that can vary greatly. This might be a single minor detail to one person but a key factor to another when deciding on a folding mobility scooter. When making your decision there are some questions and considerations to take into account. Where will I be using my folding mobility scooter? You may need a mobility scooter for an upcoming trip. If you’re traveling by plane, you will probably want a folding mobility scooter that is more compact and FAA-approved for safe travel. If you are planning for a cruise a folding mobility scooter with a tight turning radius is a good choice. A folding scooter can also be used for everyday tasks like shopping. In that case, you might be able to use a folding scooter that is a little larger, depending on the size of your vehicle’s trunk space.

How long will you be using your folding mobility scooter for at a time? The travel range of your mobility scooter can be an important feature to take into account. For quick excursions to the store, a longer travel range is not as important as it would be if you are going on a tour and plan to be out for an extended period.

Weight capacity and seat dimensions are important specifications to look for. You want to be sure the folding mobility scooter can accommodate you and provide a comfortable ride. The weight of the folding mobility scooter is also especially important. Be sure that you, or someone assisting you, are capable of lifting and carrying your folding mobility scooter.

How do you plan to transport your folding scooter? Make sure you know the dimensions of your folding mobility scooter to ensure will fit in the space you intend to transport or store it. Some folding mobility scooters are small enough to fit in the overhead compartment on an airplane, while others require a bit more space. As with any major purchase, the price must also be considered when shopping for folding mobility scooters.
