I have had a good friend for many years who happens to be a quadriplegic. Prior to 1995 he had no access (for insurance reasons) to an electric scooter. Then in 1995 everything changed and independence was won. Though it sounds cliché this opened up a complete new world of independence. In this case the 4-wheel heavy duty motorized scooters have proven to be an economical and cheap solution to a variety of issues. These issues include convenience and a portable and quick way to accomplish daily tasks. Concerning the 4-Wheel Light & Portable motorized scooters the ground clearance, power, speed and climbing ability are also impressive and necessary in daily travel about town allowing a multitude of tasks to be accomplished.
The 3-Wheel Heavy-Duty mobility scooters also are electric w/ batteries and most high-end brands come standard with switch buttons on the dash. The range and stability of most of these handicapped scooters are impressive @ 10 miles and up and many come with cargo options such as baskets and lights. Another big advantage is the quiet ride. The 3-wheel light & portable scooters are the last category and provide fast storage and a transportable unit many of which fold or break down into parts for storage into a trunk or back seat/cargo area. Many of the lightweight portable 3-wheel scooters for the disabled are sturdy and built to last and provide a portability factor not provided by the heaver scooters.
An electric scooter is a very useful product for the disabled or elderly in today fast paced society.
