Decide how you will be using the scooter. Will it be indoors only? Outdoors? Will you use it for shopping? Will you use it at night? If you will be using it inside your home, is space limited?
Once you have assessed your needs, talk to others who already use mobility scooters. Ask them what they like about theirs and what they dislike.
Arrange to test drive some of the current models. Most local establishments will let you test drive the models they have on hand.
Go the websites of the manufacturers so that you can read all the specs and easily compare scooters. Look at which scooters are easily accessorized, in case you want to add baskets, bags, lights, or other accessories.
Next, go to unbiased websites and look for user reviews on a variety of scooters. Even if you like one of the ones you test drove, user reviews will tell you things about battery life, comfort level, and longevity of the scooter. Reading reviews from individuals who have actually had the scooters for a while will tell you a great deal about how well they hold up under various circumstances.
Be sure and note the weight capacity for the scooters you are looking at. While many of them have a weight capacity of 250 pounds, if you need one with a greater weight capacity, be sure you are getting the right one.
