I can now go where ever I like on my own.

It has changed my life completely I can now go out when I want whereas before I had to stay indoors as it was too painful for me to walk it has given me back my independents.

I can truly say that it has given me back the freedom to live my life to the full.

Without it I would not be able to go anywhere as I am unable to walk far. It is so nice to be able to go out without having to ask anyone for help.

Questions to ask yourself before you buy

Deciding which mobility scooter to buy can be daunting. However, mobility products are an investment that you can enjoy for many years, so taking the time to do your research can save you frustration down the road.

These are some good questions to ask yourself before you buy, to help you identify what you need from your vehicle.

1. Indoors or outdoors?
For inside use consider turning circle and manoeuvrability. A compact model could be the right choice for you. For outdoor travel, you will want to have a more solid model that can handle rough ground and uneven pavements gracefully. Stability and speed will be important considerations, and a 4 wheel model could be your best bet.

2. Will you be navigating curbs or steep hills?
If so you may need one with extra power. A 4 wheel model often has the power and the stability to handle such obstacles.

3. Will you be driving on roads?
If you are likely to be driving on roads instead of or as well as pavements, you should consider any local laws. In most cases, medical scooters have to travel 8 mph to be used on roads, and must be equipped with both headlights and taillights.

4. What restrictions do you have at home?
Consider the width of your gates, doors, and any steps you need to negotiate. If storage space is going to be an issue then folding model may be an option.

5. Will it be comfortable?
Consider the level of leg room and support you need. Features like a swivelling seat can make getting on and off easier.

6. Does it need to be transportable?
Transportable mobility scooters are designed for convenient travel. Some can fold down to fit into the boot of a car, or be assembled and disassembled without tools.
