This is essentially the alternative to something like an electric wheelchair in that these scooters are much more sleek in the way that they are designed, whereas options like manual wheelchairs and motorized wheelchairs are often clunkier. Although, I have seen slimmer motorized scooters appear over time more and more! The newer mobility scooters offer the ability to not only "drive" indoors, but over various types if outside terrain as well. There are also many accessories and options you can choose for your scooter as well such as baskets, oxygen carriers, headlights, decals and canopies which are nice if you get caught in the rain or it's a really sunny day out!
Other innovative mobility products also include knee walkers, manual wheelchairs, rolling walkers with casters or wheels, rolling walker with seat for those instances when you need to sit down and the commode chair which is good for individuals that simply cannot get to or go to the restroom the same way they used to.
