Buying a mobility scooter or wheelchair does not need to be difficult. Although there are many options to choose from, with a few basic items identified, you'll be able to hone in on the right solution for you. Let's keep it simple:

3-Wheel Scooters

Great for
Everyday shopping
Grocery stores with tight turns
Joining your family on walks
Keeping up with the grandkids
Collapsing and transporting

Bear in mind
Three wheels makes the scooter very nimble
Three wheel scooters tend to be the most affordable
Heavier individuals may need stability of 4-Wheels when entering/exiting
