There are different types of mobility scooters. Not all are intended for outdoor use, and not all can navigate inclines and curbs. Before you invest in a scooter that can be used outdoors, check with your municipality about the laws regarding the use of scooters in public areas and on the sidewalks.

How safe are used mobility scooters?

These scooters seem to have a very long life expectancy so used ones should still be safe. I would ask about any incidents or accidents at the time you purchase it and have it checked out by a technician. A used mobility scooter can be very safe if you buy it from a reputable dealer who guarantees their products. If you should buy it on your own, it is a good idea to have it serviced and checked out entirely before using.

Are used mobility scooters less expensive than buying a brand new scooter?

According to a few websites about used mobility scooters, yes they can be cheaper than a new scooter. However, some people say that buying from a company that sells them used may be more expensive than buying from an single person selling a used scooter. I would assume this is because the company has to test the scooter to ensure that it is safe to be redistributed to a new owner. An individual person probably does not have the time or technical knowledge to thoroughly test the used scooter to ensure that is is safe and fully functional for reuse.
