As my mobility issues worsened, I felt too much of an obligation to my family; having to be ferried here, there and everywhere. I decided to do something about it, and joined the rather fun and, dare I say; exciting world of the mobility scooters UK family.

However, with such a growth in the industry, it could be quite overwhelming to decide which scooter to plump for. As a result, there are many key points a buyer should consider.

A popular question to ask is whether the scooter will be used for both outdoor and indoor activities; if taking your scooter outside, it is important to consider what surfaces it will be used on. It is also necessary to look at the paving and kerbsides in your area; regards dropped kerbs and quality of paving.

The capacity of batteries and design of scooters also varies. Because of this, you should try and work out what the likeliest longest journey will be. Remember to include both outwards and return journey’s, and give yourself a little contingency for those times when the unexpected happens.

When I spoke to my son he came up with those questions that I hadn’t considered; reminding to me to ask about warranties, storage, and ease of assembly.

Obviously, some of the questions posed by these points will be simple to answer. Others however, may need a little help and guidance; perhaps from your doctor or even your relatives. Bear in mind you may also need the scooter to be fitted to your exact needs, and consider how this could affect cost.

No matter where you go, mobility scooters UK-wide are an increasingly common site and selecting which is for you can be great fun. Just remember to have all questions ticked, before deciding on your purchase.
