If the scooter will be used for a long time, investing in a new may be a wiser option, so that another scooter does not need to be bought shortly after the first.
Anyone can ride around in a mobility scooter, but it is usually used by people who have severely restricted mobility - as in, they can only walk a few steps at a time.The requirements of qualifications for Medicare or other insurance coverage is a little more complicated.

As a device intended to provide pedestrian mobility, in the USA, your scooter should be used on pedestrian pathways -- sidewalks, crosswalks, footpaths, etc. Of course, when no sidewalk is available, you may use the roadway as any other pedestrian would. In the UK, however, the larger mobility scooters that go at 8 miles per hour are legally allowed on the roads. If you are in need of a mobility scooter or other mobility vehicle feel free to visit websites of major dealerships such as braunability or betterlifemobility and do some research before making a purchase.
The chassis number on a mobility scooter is typically found on the frame or body of the scooter, often near the rear or underneath the footrest. It may also be located on a sticker or plate attached to the scooter, sometimes in the battery compartment. The number is used for identification and registration purposes. Always refer to the manufacturer’s manual for the exact location on your specific model.
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.
