At Discount Medical Supply of Sarasota, we are committed to providing expert advice to make the decision process easier. There are several things to consider when choosing the best mobility scooter in Sarasota for your needs.

MOBILITY SCOOTER OPTIONS:

It is important to determine how you will be using the mobility scooter. Identifying your needs beforehand will allow you to choose the scooter that best fits your lifestyle.

  • Portable Travel Scooters
    This is a great option for frequent travelers that are on the go. Most models are compact and lightweight. They are typically fold-able for easy transport. This type of scooter is easy to maneuver and handles well in tight spaces. The portable travel scooter is typically the least expensive but is not suitable for everyday use.
  • Indoor 3 Wheel Scooter
    This type of model is perfect for home or office use. It offers a tighter turning radius and features a narrow base. It is a good choice for maneuverability in places where space is limited. Keep in mind that the 3-wheel scooter is not recommended for traversing rugged outdoor terrain.
  • Indoor 4 Wheel Scooter
    This is a good choice for comfort as it offers adequate leg room and seat size. It rides at a good speed and has a good battery life. Due to the larger size, it will not maneuver as easily as the 3-wheel scooter. It does, however, offer better durability and stability.
  • Outdoor 4 Wheel Scooter
    Outdoor scooters offer large motors with heavy duty tires, making them a good choice for use on unpaved surfaces. Headlights and backlit displays are a desirable feature on this model. This type of scooter is recommended for individuals that anticipate a lot of outdoor usage.
  • Heavy Duty Scooter
    This mobility scooter is built for larger framed individuals, with a weight capacity of up to 550 pounds. This unit features a bigger motor, wider base, and larger tires. It can handle any type of terrain and is great for riding on grass.

MANEUVERABILITY:

Being able to get around easily and comfortably is of the utmost importance. Consider the following features when choosing a mobility scooter:

  • Tire Type: Air Filled, Solid, or Foam Filled.
  • Assembled Weight: When assembled, scooter weights vary widely ranging from 50 lbs. to 200 lbs. It is easier to transport and assemble lightweight scooters.
  • Turning Radius: This is the smallest circular turn the scooter can make. A tight turning radius allows for ease of operation and maneuvering around tight corners.
  • Ground Clearance: The space between the base of the tire and the undercarriage. Low clearance provides a stable ride. Higher clearance is needed for outdoor use to avoid damage to bottom of the scooter.
