Mobility Scooters

Mobility scooters are battery-powered seated scooters that help adults and seniors with limited walking ability get around at home, in stores and outdoors. This collection includes lightweight folding travel scooters, 3-wheel and 4-wheel models, full-size Bespoke scooters, and heavy-duty all-terrain options, plus a folding electric stand-up scooter.

How to Choose the Right Mobility Scooters

• Check weight capacity: models here range from about 275 lb for folding travel scooters to 400 lb for full-size models.
• Compare range per charge, from about 10 miles on compact models to 20 to 35 miles on larger ones.
• Choose 3 wheels for tighter turning indoors, or 4 wheels for more stability outdoors.
• If you travel, look at folded size and frame weight; some folding scooters weigh just over 40 lb.
• For rough paths, pick all-terrain tires, a stronger motor and suspension.
• Look for comfort and safety features like a padded swivel seat, LED lights and a basket.

Can I take a mobility scooter on a plane?

Many airlines accept folding mobility scooters, but battery rules vary. Check the battery type and capacity with your airline before you travel.

Is a mobility scooter covered by Medicare?

Medicare Part B may cover a power mobility device when a doctor documents medical need and the supplier is enrolled. Check with Medicare or your insurer before buying.
