If you just need something small to get you around then you should take a look at the travel, and 3 wheeled scooters to start with. Travel scooters are also known as boot scooters and can easily be folded up to store away in a cupboard, or put in the boot of a car and transported to another location. They are made from a lightweight material which makes them ideal for taking on trips out to the beach or countryside, holidays and shopping trips. There are lots of options retailing at prices well below £1000.
Many people prefer the 3 wheeled scooters as they are easier to manoeuvre, with only a centre wheel at the front it means sharp corners and tight turns are negotiated with far less trouble, and so they are particularly useful for getting around the house, navigating small paths, and even for shopping. They also feature a larger platform to stretch your legs out, and are liked for their comfort and stylish appearance. Smaller in size than the 4 wheelers they look sleeker and are easier to handle.
4 wheeled scooters on the other hand can offer more stability; consumers tend to go for these models as they feel safer driving them and their large tires and longer battery life makes them ideal for taking trips further afield.
Once you've chosen the type of scooter you want, and the manufacturer, then how about sprucing it up with some accessories? Add a foam cushion to the seat of your scooter and then select a nice, soft, cream fleece cover to fit over the standard cushion and give you greater comfort. A sturdy, smart and versatile bag can also be secured around the seat or the handles of the scooter.
