What is The Difference Between an Electric, Disabled, Handicapped, Medical,
Medicare, Elderly or Personal Mobility Scooter?
"The mobility scooter took on different names to clarify their use."
For example:
Medical Scooter was the result of people with medical conditions requiring mobility scooters.
Medicare Scooters was the result of scooters that are covered by Medicare.
Handicapped and Disabled Mobility Scooters got their names from handicapped and disabled people driving these
scooters.
Elderly Scooters was the result of the elderly people requiring mobility scooters.
Regardless of the name, they perform the same purpose:
They are the legs for those who can not walk. They are the power behind the push.
The Mobility Scooter offers independence and freedom to those confined to a wheelchair. They open doors of adventurous
opportunity to experience the world outside of the comforts of their home.
Disabled evokes images of Can Not, Unable, Powerless and Incapable. Words that say STOP living.
But that concept is not true. The disabled are ALIVE and WELL. And they want to experience the world like the
able-bodied. To be self-sufficient, to shop, to travel, to create memories with family and friends.
And they CAN… because of the invention of the Mobility Scooter. The design that added POWER to the manual chair revolutionized
the scooter world. It has provided an easy means of transportation from Point A to Point B. And it has done it in style.
The Mobility Scooter has taken the world by storm offering a variety of models from
travel (disassemblies for easy transport) to full-size (designed for passengers
up to 350 lbs) to heavy-duty (wide seats, optimal suspension and air-fill tires) to meet the needs of the disabled community. The
disabled now have a choice: They can remain disabled, or they can slide into the seat of POWER and become abled.
They are now able to disassemble their scooter, place in the trunk, and drive to the park for an afternoon with family or
friends (no need for an accessible van or public transportation.).
OR, to hop a bus and enjoy a day at the local museum of fine arts.
OR, to catch a plane to their favorite vacation destination and embrace the beauty of a new location.
OR, to board a train to travel at fast speeds while enjoying the scenery.
OR, they can simply maneuver around their house to perform "able-bodies" tasks of doing the laundry or
washing dishes.
The possibilities are endless with the power to move with ease.
The disabled are not unabled as long as they have products that offer freedom.
Mobility Scooters opened the door of possibilities not only for the disabled, but for the family and
caretakers as well. It has eased their burden and allowed them the freedom to enjoy their companion adventures. There is even a 2
Person Mobility Scooter available to for the disabled to enjoy the adventure with their companion - eye to eye.
Regardless of the name, Disabled Mobility Scooters are the answer to the power and mobility needs of the disabled
community.
