The range of mobility scooters UK citizens can choose today didn’t exist even five years ago. Changes in technology have improved their distance and reliability and the prices have become more reasonable. Before you make the decision to buy you need to decide what factors are important to you. There are 5 main areas that you need to think about before making any decisions.

Size: will the mobility scooter fit in the places you want to take it, store it and charge it. Will it fit through your front gate? What is the maximum load the scooter can carry. Does the scooter need to fit in another vehicle to be transported around

Seat: Do you need a seat that moves in a particular way such as swiveling perhaps or does it need to be able to go up or down.

How many wheels do you need: While this may seem an odd thing to think about it is quite critical. A four wheeler is more stable and can handle some uneven ground. The three wheeler on the other hand is easier to manoeuvre but it is considered much more unstable and may tip over in some circumstances.

Battery: What sort of battery does the mobility scooter have and how far will you be able to go with it. Check how often it will need charging and the possible cost to replace.

Think about where you want to use your mobility scooter. Riding on the road with mobility scooter UK laws and council regulations will apply. But if it most running will be on flat ground to and from the shopping centre your needs will be different than if you have to maneuver up and down steeper terrain.
