Lighter models known as travel mobility scooters can easily be disassembled and stored in the back of your trunk before leaving to go out and shop. These lightweight scooters tend to be very good when maneuvering around tight spaces or crowds. Most also come with some sort of basket and can usually sustain anywhere between 200 and 300 lbs as maximum weight capacity. Most importantly, if you’re someone who takes their time when shopping, these scooters tend to travel a far distance when fully charged. When it’s all said and done you can simply disassemble or fold your mobility scooter in the trunk and have it stored away with the belongings you may have just bought.

So what about using mobility scooters as a form of enjoyment or transportation? The good thing about full-size and or heavy-duty mobility scooters is the fact they can sustain a lot more weight and power than travel or folding mobility scooters. Full-size and Heavy-Duty Mobility Scooters usually handle anywhere between 300 and 600 lbs and for certain models, there is a wagon attachment that is available that allows users to load extra belongings such as groceries at the store. Most heavy-duty handicap scooters are designed with solid, flat-free, or foam-filled tires that help make great use when using your handicap mobility scooter on a rocky or more rugged style of terrain. These scooters tend to be more durable and last a lot longer as well so if you want to take a long ride to the park and then out to dinner you can do so without any worry of your mobility scooter dying prior.
