What is a Mobility scooter?

An electric scooter is a battery-powered vehicle with either 3 or 4 wheels.

They are commonly referred to as electric, power, disability or medical scooters.

2-wheel scooters seen on the open road are used for urban transportation or recreational use, but the primary function of the mobility scooter is to aid those individuals with limited mobility due to an existing medical condition, disability, very old age or just plain getting older.

The basic design consists of a seat, an electric motor, steering column, ignition, throttle device, brake system and a base/floorboard.  Most modern electric scooter models do not require manual braking due to their automatic braking system that is activated whenever the throttle is released. 

Electric mobility scooters provide freedom and maximum mobility for those who have trouble walking, but are able to sit upright with minimal support, and also have sufficient strength in the shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands to operate the steering column/throttle etc.
