Modern Mobility Scooters – Design Meets Function

Mobility scooters and power wheelchairs frequently fall victim to the perception that they are for “old people”. However, this is a misconception that is continually discredited. You can use a mobility device for countless reasons and the majority of mobility manufacturers are upgrading traditional models to better fit the times. For example, Pride Mobility has released two cutting-edge models, the ZT-10 and the Baja Wrangler 2. Pride’s most recently launched scooters have modernized designs, in addition to LED lighting, turning technology, and/or state-of-the-art suspension.

The ZT-10

The ZT10 is considered a heavy-duty mobility scooter, brilliantly designed for both indoor and outdoor adventures. It has robust tires and full CTS suspension, which guarantees a smooth ride including over inclines and bumps. This model has a weight capacity of 400 pounds and a substantial 24-mile travel range. The ZT-10 can reach top speeds of up to 7.5 miles and is equipped with a best-in-its-class turning radius of 43 inches. By far, the most notable feature is the full LED lighting package, which gives the scooter a futuristic look.

Take a look at the video below to see the ZT-10 in action:

 

The Baja Wrangler 2

The Baja Wrangler 2, made by Pride Mobility, is the ultimate outdoor scooter. This model is equipped with powerful dual motors and a proprietary steering-dampening design. It has front and rear CTS suspension and a considerable weight capacity of 350 pounds. The Baja Wrangler has a travel range of 29 miles with top speeds of 11.4 MPH. Both front and rear tires are 14.5″ to overcome the roughest terrain. With all of these components and more, it is no wonder why the updated version of the Wrangler is a hot commodity for all age groups.

Additional Modern Mobility Devices

There is no doubt more manufacturers and products boasting modernistic features. EV Rider has contributed to the list with the Gypsy folding mobility scooter. It has a unique design that does not have a seat back. This lack of lumbar support may be a deal-breaker for some, while others might prefer it!

An honorable mention goes to E-Wheels for the EW-M43, one of their folding power wheelchairs. It has an extremely modern design for a power wheelchair, especially since they battled the same stigma as scooters. While this page is dedicated to mobility scooters, we always enjoy seeing manufacturers push the design limits by using fresh designs, new-age materials, and more.

How Modern Mobility Scooters Compare to Traditional

Traditional mobility scooters are often made from cheaper parts that are easier to manufacture. They often lack the simple comforts that are commonly taken for granted. For instance, many traditional mobility scooters lack any suspension and have very limited comfort adjustments. All in all, our new generation demands a renewed design, one that is aesthetically appealing and garners compliments. If you have any questions or inquiries, you can feel free to reach out to us.
