How to choose a suitable mobility scooter for the elderly?

Mobility Scooters are a common means of transportation for the elderly to travel on a daily basis. There are so many products on the market that it is difficult to choose if you don't know which mobility scooter is suitable for the elderly. Now, let us tell you some important factors.


Portability of mobility scooters


For the elderly, mobility scooters are a tool to help them enjoy outdoor activities. As we all know, a good scooter should be portable and will not cause any trouble to the user when going out. A portable mobility scooter should be easy to fold and can be easily put into the trunk of a car. If it cannot be easily taken out, there is no point in buying it.


Whether the accessories of the mobility scooter for the elderly are complete


The accessories should be complete. The strength and performance requirements of mobility scooters for the accessories of the elderly should be higher than those of bicycles. When selecting a model, users should look at the quality of the parts selected for the whole vehicle, such as: whether there are defects in the welding and surface of the frame, whether the manufacturing of each component is sophisticated, whether the double support is firm, whether the tires are selected from famous brands, whether the fasteners are rust-proof, etc.


Is the speed of the mobility scooter for the elderly standard?


The speed should be slow to ensure safety! The international speed standard for mobility scooters for the elderly is 8 kilometers per hour, which fully takes into account the actual physical condition of the elderly. You can ask the merchant about the speed, or you can find out by looking at the dashboard of the car most intuitively. The maximum scale on the dashboard is not necessarily the maximum speed of the car, but it is also a good way to observe the speed. A car with a speed of 8 kilometers per hour can use a dashboard of 12 kilometers per hour, but never a dashboard of 60 kilometers per hour or 70 kilometers per hour.


Is the elderly mobility scooter safe and comfortable?


As a product used by the elderly, its safety cannot be ignored. Don't pursue too fast speed, but you must choose a safe, comfortable and national standard elderly mobility scooter. Because the mobility scooter usually sits for one or two hours, the elderly's physical reactions are relatively slow, so it must be comfortable to avoid fatigue, soreness and other discomfort reactions after a long trip at night.


Elderly mobility scooters are used by the elderly. The cruising range is different from that of ordinary two-wheeled electric vehicles, and a high cruising range is not required. Generally, the elderly's daily range of activities is 3-5 kilometers, so a battery with a cruising range of 20 kilometers is enough. For those who need to travel long distances, you can choose a battery of 30 kilometers or 40 kilometers.


If the battery is small, the weight of the vehicle can be lighter. If it breaks down halfway, the elderly can push it by themselves, and the brakes are also good (because the vehicle body is light and the driving inertia is small), which is safer for the elderly.
