How to Choose the Right Power Mobility

Whether you're exploring mobility scooters or power chairs, the right device should fit seamlessly into your daily life. It should offer comfort, convenience, and confidence on every ride. Here’s a quick guide to help you pick the one that checks all your boxes.

Look for features that keep you supported

Whether you choose a scooter or power chair, comfort matters. Look for:

  • Cushioned seat with solid support
  • Adjustable armrests and tiller or joystick controls
  • Suspension system (look for front and rear) for a smoother ride

Make sure it's easy to handle

Scooters tend to have a tighter turning radius for outdoor use. Power chairs excel in tighter indoor spaces thanks to joystick steering. Look for:

  • Quick disassembly or easy transport options
  • Batteries that charge on or off the unit
  • Compact frames for vehicle transport

The little things make a big difference

A well-designed mobility device should make your daily tasks easier. Look for:

  • Front basket
  • Under-seat storage
  • USB charging port for your devices

Choose something that fits how you live

Whether you're running errands, heading to appointments, or enjoying time outside, your mobility device should keep up with you. Look for:

  • Flat-free tires for all surfaces
  • LED headlights for safety
  • Tie-down points for transport
  • Heavy-duty drivetrain and durable build for daily use
