Enjoy The Season
Summer is a time for exploring, getting out in nature, and enjoying the warm weather while it lasts. Heat can help relax aches and pains, while Vitamin D obtained by spending time in the sun can benefit the bone health and muscle strength of those with mobility issues. So it’s no wonder so many of our customers come to us looking for the perfect mobility aid to help them make the most of this time of year! To help you enjoy all the season has to offer, we’ve rounded up our 10 favourite folding mobility scooters and powerchairs for your summer adventures.
Knowing The Difference: Scooters vs Powerchairs
“Finding the right mobility aid can be daunting. Whether you’ve been considering getting a mobility scooter or powerchair for a while, or you have been facing mobility issues recently, knowing what the right solution can be is no small task.”
Put simply, mobility scooters are an excellent tool for accessing your freedom primarily outside of the home. With 3 – 4 wheels and handlebar steering, mobility scooters are the ideal solution for users who would benefit from a mobility solution to help take the weight off their feet when running errands and the like.
Alternatively, powerchairs are the more common option for users who require a more adaptable mobility device that can be easily used both in the home and out and about. With anywhere from 4 – 6 wheels and joystick control, they are a lifeline for people who need a mobility solution that can be there for them throughout their day–to–day life.
