Be sure you know what you want from your mobility scooter or power chair.
To better ascertain the ideal machine for your needs, take a closer look at what you are hoping to achieve by purchasing a new mobility scooter or powerchair. Ask yourself the question: “If I could go anywhere I wanted, any time I wanted, without having to rely on other people, where would I go?” Here are some examples of places you might like to go, and things you might like to do. You can probably think of lots more!
- Visit friends and family
- Nip down to the pub
- Post a letter
- Attend church regularly
- Go to the doctors
- Feed the ducks in the park
- Help with charity work
- Do your own shopping

Once you’ve got a clearer picture in your mind of the places you’d like to visit, consider the terrain that you will have to cross to get there. Are there lots of steep hills involved? Will you have to go on the public highway at all? Are you likely to need to go across rough terrain? All these things are relevant to your ultimate choice of vehicle, because different machines are designed for different purposes.
