What type of mobility device is right for me?
Mobility Scooters are equipped with a handlebar/tiller feature that is used to drive the device. A tiller can be adjusted to each user but if you have limited arm strength or it would be uncomfortable to have your arms outstretched operating the scooter.

A Power Chair is operated with a joystick that is comfortably located at the end of the chair's arm. You operate a power chair by small movements of the joystick, side-to-side or front to back. If you have limited fine motor skills operating a power wheelchair may be challenging.
What is the difference between a travel and non-travel unit?
A travel scooter can be quickly disassembled into sections and is designed to be hand-loaded into a vehicle. That said, the weight of each section and one’s ability to handle and lift that weight, should be considered.

Full Size or non-travel units have many other benefits such as higher ground clearances, faster speeds and longer battery ranges just to name a few. However, a vehicle lift or ramp is required to transport these units.

Travel Mobility In Vacation

You can aim to choose mobility scooters suitable for air travel. These include compact, and portable and easy-to-disassemble travel scooters that can be stored in cargo of an airplane.

The FAA allows you to bring lithium batteries up to 300Wh or less on the plane. The batteries can be checked or brought as a carry on. A maximum of one spare battery not exceeding 300 Wh or two spares not exceeding 160 Wh each may be carried on. To calculate Watt hours, simply multiply your battery voltage x Ah and that is your Wh (watt hours). For example, a 24v 11.5ah battery has 276 Wh. 

If the battery stays on the unit, it must be protected against other baggage, or other cargo. Suppose the mobility device does not provide adequate protection. In that case, the battery must be removed, battery terminals covered, and the battery must be taken on as carry-on baggage.

Before traveling with your power chair or mobility scooter, we recommend you contact your airline on how to transport your battery as a passenger. You might be required to plan prior to your trip, and additional time might be needed for check-in.

Before your trip, you should also check with your airline if your folded-up wheelchair/device will be allowed in the passenger cabin or if the mobility device, with batteries removed, will have to travel as checked baggage.

Some of the questions we often get is how one can travel with outdoor mobility scooters. You can easily navigate rough terrain with 3 wheel travel mobility scooters such as Buzzaround XL-HD 3-Wheel Compact Scooter - New or the Pride Go-Go Sport Travel Mobility Scooter - 3 Wheel. These scooters all provide the ease of moving around in tight corners all while providing a reasonable speed for outdoor use. It is complete with safety features, LED lights for safety, dual voltage chargers, as well as deck baskets for ultimate storage and more.

These listings for travel mobility scooters provide the best in comfort, durability and ease of use. Make sure you consult the user manual, as always, when operating a medical device. You should also know what batteries you should use and also consider purchasing a spare in case there is an emergency on the road.

Well, for starters, you should definitely choose a mobility device that has better speed capabilities as well as ample back and arm rest support so you can navigate the device better.
