Mobility Scooters Canada - Summer is Here !

Portable or lightweight mobility scooters are made by many manufactures and are some of the most popular scooters for their ease of use and maneuverability. These scooters are usually around 75 to 125 lbs and can be broken down into several pieces for easy storage with the heaviest piece being the battery@ 25 to 30 lbs.

Lightweight scooters will usually have a maximum weight capacity of 250 lbs. With top speeds up to 4 mph. Typical of a portable mobility scooter is the three wheel design. This feature is useful as it allows an extreme turning radius and excellent maneuvering. These scooters just like others are steered using the tiller or bicycle like handle bars. The tires are made of a solid substance which gives maximum longevity but does take away from the comfort when compared with a pneumatic tire.

As far as electric mobility scooters are concerned the lightweight version is here to stay. In fact some companies like Drive make a good chunk of their profits from the unique portable mobility scooter market. They are useful as an indoor aid as well as outdoors. Their small size allows them to get close to furnishings and manage tight spaces with ease. Although not as maneuverable as a power wheelchair, the portable mobility scooter holds its own. Especially in the value department! Most lightweight scooters run $950.00 and up brand new with free shipping.

If you are looking to spend less than that I would suggest looking into used mobility scooters. Used scooters are becoming more and more available as the freedom of mobility spreads. Most used mobility scooters are in fairly good shape and are in need of only a new battery.

I have selected a few Scooters from www.homehealthcareshoppe.com that have received good reviews.
