When you see well-designed mobility scooters disabled persons will easily come to mind. Mobility or disability scooters are technological solutions that partially restore to the disabled the mobility they have lost. With the use of these scooters disabled people can move around inside their homes and even have means of limited transport to places farther down the road. In many ways, these specially designed scooters for handicapped persons help them regain a significant measure of dignity and independence.

In considering purchase of mobility scooters disabled persons will need to think about their usage. For instance, if they have to dismantle the handicapped scooter frequently it will be more convenient to pick a smaller scooter rather than a larger but heavier disabled scooter.

If they want to travel on public roads with their scooters disabled people will need the bigger handicapped scooters which have speeds of 8 miles per hour. In this case, it might make sense to consider obtaining handicap mobility scooter insurance cover just like a motor vehicle, in case the disabled person causes injury or damage to other people or their property. Note that with 8 mph scooters disabled owners are required to obtain a tax disc in order to avoid paying any road tax.

Those who do not foresee running their disability scooters on public roads but still want some motorized capability can opt for the 4 mph model. With these smaller scooters disabled persons may legally travel on surfaces where people travel on foot such as pavements and footpaths. In this case, the user must consider the condition of such surfaces. Long stretches of uneven ground or cracked footpaths will compromise the stability of the handicapped scooter, and it may be wise to pick a 4-wheeled model. A 3-wheeled unit which is more appropriate for use inside the house, but will not be too stable in uneven surfaces.
