Mobility Scooters With The Highest (or Best) Ground Clearance

Ground clearance is the amount of space between the bottom of the scooter and the ground. Typically, the bottom of the scooter is the underside of the platform where your feet rest. This measurement is particularly important if you are going to be using your Mobility Scooter to climb small curbs without bottoming out.
