Mobility Scooter Rental Options
What Powered Mobility Device Will Work Best for You?
- Driver Weight
The equipment must support the weight of the driver and be powerful enough to move the scooter with the driver on it.
- Portability, can the scooter be easily transported from one location to another?
Are you strong enough to load it and unload it, or will you need help? Will you be using a car, a van, a SUV, or pickup truck? The size and weight of the scooter will determine the type of vehicle required to transport it. Will you be taking it with you on a bus, train or airplane, all three of these transportation methods have size restrictions and sealed battery requirements
- Where are you going to use it?
If you are using it inside, is there enough room to maneuver it? If you are using it outside, what terrain will the scooter need to traverse. All scooters will work on hard surfaces, some will work or lawns, and some will work on harvested fields. What obstacles do you need to drive over? Will you encounter ruts, curbs, ridges on ramps or other small obstacles.
- How long battery will last on a single charge if constant use?
How long will the battery last before the battery must be recharged. This is called battery range stated in hours. Each hour gets you about 3.5 miles of constant movement. When the device is stopped it uses very little battery power. Usually you can use the device a whole day without charging. Overnight charging restores the battery to full.
