Motorised mobility aid

I do remember and her luggy travails .sur la mer.

Its quite pricey.

Never mind c'n'p POGS very informative.

Galen uses a luggy I think. Hopefully she will see this and comment.

It also depends on your ‘build’ (euphemism for how heavy you are!}

As POGS said a reputable disability shop should advise you.

Cheating but cut and pasted from an old post of mine.

I would advise a 4 wheel scooter as they are far more stable . You have to make a decision as to the size to suit your needs. For example there would be a better use of a mid range size scooter if you intend to cover short/moderate distances but if it is for shopping then a smaller one may surface. You also need to think about the size in relation to dismantling the scooter to transport it when shopping, holidays etc. Get a model with a higher back for comfort but that of course is a personal matter.

I have a 'Pride' model which if I remember correctly is a 4 MPH . I would say that any reputable disability shop will either bring them to your home (if possible considering distance etc.) or would allow you to 'test drive' their models. I know that happens with mobility shops here but naturally customer service does vary

Find a good shop that gives you a fixed price, insurance cover if you require it , permits a test drive and service availability if required, if you can.

Enjoy your scooter if you decide to buy , it is not exactly life changing but none the less the independence is great .

I don't know what to recommend but I would google them and shop around. Can you get to a mobility shop to see what is on offer? Have you considered hiring one to see what suits and if it's what you need?

It's easy for people to tell you to walk more when they don't feel your pain.
