Electric Mobility Scooters

Adaptive automotive equipment offers people in wheelchairs the means to regain the freedom they may have lost due to a disability. They must learn to operate adaptive automotive equipment in the same manner as people who drive with standard equipment and there are a variety of modifications available to enable drivers and/or passengers to motor safely across the country or across their neighborhoods. The ability to drive allows individuals with disabilities to stay active and it immeasurably improves the quality of their lives. Whether commuting to work, buying groceries, taking their children to school, going on vacation, or competing in adaptive sports, people with disabilities rely on adaptive motor vehicle equipment to keep them in the driver’s and/or passenger’s seat.   There is a surprising amount of information
gathering required before helping a client choose a vehicle or determine the suitability of a given chassis. One answer often leads to many other questions. A Mobility Dealer will be able to take over and finalize the options available to the client and ensure they don’t purchase the wrong chassis for the appropriate mobility solution. The following questions will prepare you for the evaluation visit  for ordering  adaptive equipment for your vehicle. The answer to these questions will enable the consumer to arrive at a proper mobility solution more quickly.
