Medical Scooters - Making You More Mobile And Independent
There is some clarification that needs to be made between "power chairs" and "Medical Scooters" The power chair is preferred for in-home use. It has a turning radius as small as 20 inches. It is able to maneuver through the small, difficult spaces of a home. It is power driven by a joy stick. The medical scooter is preferred for outdoors and travel. It can be used on all terrain but is best used on flatter terrain. It typically has a 32 inch turning radius. It is driven by using handlebars and the levels on the handlebars.
The medical scooter allows for independence for a person who would otherwise be confined to a wheel chair. The scooter will fold, then with a lift connected to the back part of the van, be lifted easily into the van. The company Harmar has a large variety of supplies that can aid you with your scooter, including lifts and ramps. If the patient/client has enough ability to walk around to the side of the van to enter, then no additional help is needed.
The power of the Medical Scooters is provided by batteries placed on the back of the scooter. The speed can be controlled by the levers on the handlebars. Surprisingly, these scooter can pick up quite a bit of speed. They also have power to go up a ramp or a small hill. The patient will find that mobility will barely be an issue any more. Freedom will be theirs once again.

You have an option with your scooter as to whether to use a gas powered scooter or an electric powered scooter (battery powered). With a gas powered scooter, as claimed by Pride company, you will be able to go at speeds of around 10 mph. One fill up of gas will last for several days of regular use. Most people prefer the electric powered scooter because of concerns of using gasoline. You will not have to be putting gas into the scooter, but you will lose power and speed. One will have to decide which is more important to them as they make the decisions of which Medical Scooters to purchase. Good Luck. |
