There are many things you should know before buying a disability/ mobility scooter. The most important thing to realize is that you will be using this scooter to help you get around, so the first thing you need to be sure of is that it is comfortable for you. If even the slightest bit uncomfortable, ask the sales person to adjust what he can to see if it can be made to fit. If not, search until you find one that causes you no discomfort since you will be spending a great deal of time on the scooter. The second most important thing is reliabilty. Whether you are buying the scooter brand new or slightly used, do your research on the particular brand for safety as well as any other information you can find out about the scooter. If possible, make sure that you find out about any warranty or gaurantee information that you can obtain from the seller.
