Mobility Scooters for Handicapped People
Confinement can be the most depressing situation that handicapped individuals can experience. Nobody wants to stay inside four walls for a long time, especially when it isn’t necessary. Devices like walkers are a great tool for those with balance issues or needing more support. For those who need more than just a walker to get around, especially for longer distances, there are many electric mobility scooters on the market.
Some of the many benefits of owning an Electric Mobility Scooter include:
- Independence. Electric mobility scooters are designed to provide disabled people with a safe mode of transportation to the nearest store, park or community building. They give individuals a way to get around to places they need or want to go. No one wants to stay inside four walls for a long time when it isn't necessary, that can get depressing. No longer is the "Big Box Store" inaccessible. Daily tasks around town to get errands done is possible. Whether it's to help with shopping, going out and about, or for a walk with your children or grandchildren. Not to mention, the park can be easier to access as well. Even getting the mail or newspaper can seem simple again. There are also different storage and cargo options available for shopping bags or any items you need to carry with you.
- Prevention of Falls. When an individual's body is tired or weak they are more prone to fall. Walkers are great, but they can only do so much. Mobility scooters are great for those who need more help getting around and going longer distances. People no longer have to push their own limits of mobility and risk an injury or falling.
- Physical Exertion is becoming more challenging. Mobility scooters can help save an individuals energy when exertion is a challenge. Scooters are a great mobility tool for individuals who have weak upper body strength, disabilities in the upper body or legs, or oxygen tanks to haul around. They help to keep individuals mobile who would not otherwise be.
- Faster healing and recovery. Everyone needs time to recovery after an injury or illness. A mobility scooter can help you stay mobile, but allow for healing as it helps keep strain off of the body, muscles, and joints. Scooters also allow for individuals to go out for a nice breath of fresh air.

Here's what one reviewer has to say about his new Heartway USA - Vita -S12 Scooter:
"Let me start by saying - I LOVE this thing! I now have the mobility I have lacked for so long. Scooter came well packed, i.e. no damage or issues with shipping. This is an exceptionally high quality machine. I was very impressed. I live in a rural area and, while it is no ATV, it travels surprising well on rough terrain. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a very stylish mobility scooter." - Posted by David Cross on 15th Nov 2016
