3-Wheel vs. 4-Wheel Electric Mobility Scooters

Eighty percent of all scooters sold are 3-wheel scooters. The main reason for this is that 3-wheel electric mobility scooters have greater indoor maneuverability, to get around tight spaces more easily.  This allows freer movement around your home or out shopping.

3-Wheel scooters can be used outdoors as well but are not as good outdoors on uneven sidewalks, rough roads, or grass fields.  They are not as stable as a 4-wheel electric mobility scooter outdoors and can sometimes feel tippy or tip over when turning quickly.

4-wheel scooters are great for outdoors and can handle rougher surfaces without feeling like your going to tip over. 4-Wheel mobility scooters are not as good indoors due to their large turning radius. 

Look at the roads and sidewalks you plan to travel, and see if it is mainly smooth sidewalks or are they rough pathways?  If it is rough uneven terrain or a lot of pot holes, and you plan to spend most of your time outside with the scooter then a 4-wheel is a good choice.

If you plan to spend most of your time indoors, then consider a 3-wheel mobility scooter with it's greater indoor maneuverability.
