Best Mobility Scooters For Sale Near Me
A scooter can be useful for those with mobility issues that make walking difficult or if you require more stability than what the wheelchair can provide.
The top mobility scooters near me are designed to handle a variety of terrains, and provide an enjoyable ride. You can even find models that can be tucked into the trunk of a car to travel.
1. Pride Go-Go Traveller
The Traveller is a small high-performance, portable scooter. It's a nippy scooter that's perfect for urban roads and can go up to 4mph. However, it's worth remembering that the Traveller isn't ideal for rougher terrain and if you want to drive over uneven roads or pathways, it's better using a more durable scooter, such as the Elite Traveller Sport.
Another benefit of the Traveller is that it can be easily broken down into five pieces for simple transport and storage. It can easily be tucked into the trunks of many cars without a vehicle lift. In addition, the Traveller is available in a variety of new colors, which is a refreshing departure from the dated blue and red that previous generations were restricted to.
The Traveller can be purchased with the lead battery configuration of 12AH or 17AH, which determines the distance you can travel on one charge. The larger battery can provide around 14 miles of range. This is comparable to many other full-sized scooters.
When selecting a mobility scooter, it is crucial to think about your budget and the length of time you'll use the scooter for. Renting is travel mobility scooters for sale for those looking for a short-term solution, while buying offers more flexibility and value in the long run. It's worth testing out different models to ensure that the one you select is suitable for you. If you do purchase a scooter, it's also worth investing in a few accessories to enhance the user experience and comfort.
2. SuperHandy Passport
The SuperHandy Passport is an excellent option for those who are seeking a small, portable scooter. It can fold down to a mere 23.6" wide and easily fit in the trunk or back seat of your car. It's also airline-friendly, with a rating of watt-hours below the maximum 300-watt limit on planes. Its small dimensions and portability make it an ideal choice for bringing on cruises.
The Passport's padded faux leather seat and handlebars that can be adjusted in height provide comfort and ease of use. It's able to easily overtake small obstacles like door thresholds or sidewalk scuffs. It comes with 2.5" ground clearance. However, it's not ideal for rough terrain or climbing hills.
The SuperHandy Passport Pro is the lightweight and smallest folding scooter I would recommend. It is a great choice for those who want portability over features like extra storage, but still has an opening for a front basket, and some safety features like headlights. The throttle is a press type located on the right, which might not be suitable for left-handed users. It also doesn't have a seat that rotates, which means you can't adjust to face different directions. This is the most basic scooter on our list, but you might find it to be just right.
4. Baja Raptor 2
The Baja Raptor 2 is the most popular model in Pride Mobility's outdoor scooter lineup. It offers speed and style for daily trips and adventures. This model is the fastest on the market, with the top speed of cruising up to thirteen miles per hour. It also has the capacity of 400 pounds with LED lighting and a lockable underseat space.
Large pneumatic tires can handle various terrains. A premium shock absorbency and an incredibly strong suspension system help to ensure a comfortable ride. The passengers benefit from a large captain's seat that offers plenty of cushioning, and it can swivel and recline to provide comfort for longer rides. Armrests that flip away offer added convenience for the user and an easy access to the footwell.
Regenerative braking keeps you safe when you travel through town. A LCD console that is easy to read lets you track your estimated speed, battery level and miles. The front LED headlights and directional lights also ensure you stay visible to other road users, particularly in low-light conditions.
This model has an extended driving range of 31 miles with one charge. It comes equipped with two rear-view mirrors to provide seamless visibility of the surrounding area. And the lockable underseat storage compartment provides the security of a place to store personal items such as wallets, keys, or shopping bags, so you never have to leave your scooter unattended. The Baja Raptor 2 is available in Candy Apple Red, True Blue and Matte Black to suit individual taste and style preferences.
5. Drive Medical Prowler
The Prowler is an outdoor-friendly heavy-duty scooter. It comes with a full suspension, pneumatic wheels, and a huge ground clearance. It also has a maximum speed of 7 MPH for cruising and a top speed of 23 miles. Safety features include anti-tip wheels, a headlight, and rearview mirrors. The luxurious captain's seat comes with soft cushions that provide a luxurious driving experience.
The narrowest turning radius is 30 inches. This makes it a great choice for indoor spaces like supermarkets, libraries and malls. It is also a great choice to travel around the home.
It's a bit on the heavy side, weighing about 96 pounds once it's assembled, but it breaks down into four smaller pieces (the largest weighing just 28 pounds). That makes it easier to transport in vehicles or put into storage. It also has the longest battery life of any scooter we reviewed. It can last up to 18 miles on a single charge.
