If you are struggling with mobility issues, and you can not move about easily, then you have reached the right place. Here, three benefits of an heavy duty 4 wheel mobility scooter for city dwellers will be presented.
No question about it, off-road, heavy duty mobility scooters were designed for rough road, and for driving in rural areas. However, they offer these advantages to city dwellers with limited mobility: The many extras make it easy to run errands, Larger wheels and more ground clearance, and Increased riding comfort.
Higher comfort when running errands
A lot of the time, a city dweller with mobility disability or mobility problems will find themselves running errands: going to the grocery shop, going to the pharmacy, going to the hair salon, or just out for lunch.Sometimes they will take advantage of the scooter to take them to see a movie or a comedy show. In particular when running errands, the larger overall size of an off-road scooter plays a role.
Owners of heavy duty mobility scooter marvel about the oversized wire baskets in front and in the back for holding groceries or shopping items. They appreciate the included cane holders and umbrella holders. These are the items that may mean little to an average person. However, a person with a mobility disability will find them of exceptional use when running errands.
Greater ground clearance
Curb cuts, on and off sidewalk ramps, cracks in pavement, and potholes are just some of the obstacles that a scooter user encounters driving in the city.
A heavy duty 4 wheel mobility scooter can handle these barriers with ease while a portable, small wheel, low ground clearance scooter will be stopped in its tracks.
Increased driving comfort
Overall, due to the obstacles previously mentioned, the riding comfort is much increased by a larger off-road scooter. In addition to larger tires, the wheel suspension comes standard on all wheels on most off-road scooters. Add to that a more padding that comes with a bigger and more comfortable seat, and you get yourself a more comfortable ride on city sidewalks when running errands.
Even longer rides in a city can be very satisfying when riding in an offroad mobility scooter.
These are the three important advantages of a heavy duty 4 wheel mobility scooter for city driving. When you take these into consideration, you may end up deciding to go for an off-road, also known as heavy-duty mobility scooter rather than a light weight scooter. Or you may opt for getting both, as both have their advantages even for city driving.
