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.
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.
Considering that your working with elderly I would not advice this. Elderly can be quite fragile, and even if it would be safe, an accident can easily happen by , for example, a crack in the road. Do something safer is my suggestion.
Mobility scooters have become more common since first being introduced in mass quantities in the mid 1990's. High end scooters cost as much as $4500. And the most economical can be purchased from $500-600 (though usually in conjunction with a disability and certain insurance). Based on the averages, it is safe to say that a typical scooter will cost anywhere from $1500 to 1800.
mobility and non-mobility costs
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.
