People all over the world rely on mobility scooters to keep their independence and freedom. If you have unlimited mobility or are unable to drive a car, you may want to consider a mobility scooter , it could be the perfect solution to getting where you want to go and getting there safely. This is especially true if you want to go to the local grocery store, park, post office, or anywhere else nearby that’s a little too far to walk to.

So what type of people are ideal candidates for mobility scooters? Mobility scooters are perfect for people who:

• Can maintain an upright posture.
• Have enough upper body and hand strength to operate the controls.
• Do not have a risk of developing pressure sores and do not require a positioning system.
• Have a difficult time walking long distances.
• Do not plan on using the mobility scooter in tight spaces such as kitchens, bathrooms and hallways.
• Have a systemic or whole-body disabling condition that makes them get tired easily or have pain when walking but they have enough strength to get in and out of a mobility scooter. This could include people with heart disease, lung disease, arthritis, and obesity.
