Time goes by and there’s no doubt as we get older, we find it harder to do the things we’ve always done. Working up the energy to take a long walk is often more hassle than it’s worth; we might have a lot of pain associated with illness that prevents us from going too far; or we may have give up our car license for safety’s sake.

Losing your independence is certainly the hardest thing about getting older, or if you’ve suffered from a debilitating illness, but it doesn’t have to be that way. With Active Mobility Scooters, you can stay as independent as possible, and enjoy the life you’ve always loved, without worrying about how you’re going to get around.

In 2017, scooters are better than ever, with so many amazing features, designs, speeds, and capabilities. So how do you go about choosing the right scooter for you?

At Active Mobility Scooters, we recommend you keep a few things in mind when choosing mobility aids for your lifestyle. These include your height and weight, where you live and whether there are lots of hills or rough terrain, where you want to go, how far you need to travel and how often you need to use it every day. You might also need to have your doctor confirm you are healthy enough to use one safely; and consider where you might store it and what sort of space you have available, as well as any added accessories you might like to include.

When you buy, look at the following:
• Number of wheels. You can either get one with three wheels or four, depending on your requirements.

- If you’re taller, you might opt for three wheels as they generally give more room for your legs to stretch out. They are more manoeuvrable as well and have lighter steering which makes them ideal if you’re planning on taking them grocery shopping.

- If you have to travel on dirt roads or uneven ground, you’re better off with four wheels as these are better suited for outdoor use. They might also give you a greater sense of security.

• The size. Did you know scooters come in small, medium and large? So you need to consider the size you need.

- Small is great for those who don’t need to use it very often – if you have to load it onto a vehicle, take it shopping, or if you’re petite yourself, go for a smaller model. Medium scooters are great for occasional use and They are best for outdoor use.

- Large scooters are suitable if you carry some extra weight; if you’re extra tall, or you need to use it often, outdoors, they are great for hills and longer distances.
