3-Wheel vs 4-Wheel Portable Mobility Scooter
The number of wheels on a power scooter does not affect its portability. However, it does affect the turning radius and stability. A three-wheel scooter has a smaller turning radius but is less stable than a four-wheel scooter. A four-wheel scooter like Victory LX Sport 4 Wheel Scooter is more stable but has a larger turning radius. In the case of indoor use, three-wheel scooters are more maneuverable in tight spaces. If you traverse off-road trails a lot, a four-wheel scooter is a better choice.
