Large, Small and Medium Mobility Scooters Compared

Selecting the perfect mobility scooter should be a case of all choice, no compromise. Irrespective of the type of mobility scooter you need, the same quality and safety standards should be upheld.

Even so, certain concessions may be necessary when narrowing things down to a specific scooter size. Mobility scooters can be picked up in a variety of size ranges and classifications, which in all instances come with their own unique selling points.

The key to taking home the perfect mobility scooter lies in first establishing your requirements, your preferences and your priorities. How regularly do you intend to use your scooter? Will you be taking extended journeys or short trips only? What kind of space do you have available to store your scooter while it is not in use?

After which, it becomes much easier to set your sights on one of the three main classifications of mobility scooters – small, medium and large.
