mobility scooters Oy, so my dad has some pretty bad knees and I'm thinking about getting him a mobility scooter as walking hurts him. Does anyone recommend a particular model? I'm figuring he'll want to use the bus (he loves the bus and skytrain) so it gotta fit those. Also he'll want to go to TNT with it, so long range and ability to carry some groceries would help too. |

Best to go in and check them out for size, turning radius, battery life among other features. Check Medichair and Regency Medical Supplies |
I took him to scooter city today in Coquitlam. these things are pretty bad ass, too bad the range is realistically only 25kms and top speed is around 12kmh. There are quite a few downsides as well 1- battery will only last about 300ish charges then they cost about 300 bucks to replace. 2- the small wheels and lack of dampening means those sidewalk cracks/joints between the slabs are going to be transmitted to his chair. 3 - Apparently the big 4 wheel ones are not allowed on the bus so old man is limited to a 3 wheel one. Sooooo now I need to find a smallish 3 wheeler that has better range and bigger tires and proper suspension. |
https://shop.travelscootcanada.com We bought this for my wife when she was still alive. It was a godsend. It made her so happy that she could get around with ease. It wasn't cheap, but it was worth every penny. If you do decide to go this route, purchase the highest capacity battery and a spare one that attaches on top of the original for twice the range. Edit: I noticed they changed the battery system a bit. Looks like auxiliary battery cannot be stacked on top of the other and now requires a rack. Still, it's an option. Also, back then, we couldn't get insurance coverage for that particular brand. Now it looks like it is recognized and covered by medical insurance. My wife could have got coverage, but it would have taken time. Time she didn't have. At that point, cost was not a priority. |
