Three or Four Wheels?
There are advantages and disadvantages to both three and four wheeled mobility scooters. Below we have highlighted key points about three and four wheeled mobility scooters.
Three Wheeled Mobility Scooters:
- Three wheeled mobility scooters have greater maneuverability than four wheeled scooters
- They offer the user more leg room and are well suited to those who have poor mobility in their legs
- Becuase of their greater maneuverability three wheeled scooters are well suited to indoor and outdoor use in crowded areas such as supermarkets
- As they only have three wheels they offer less overall stability than four wheeled mobility scooters
Four Wheeled Mobility Scooters
- Four wheeled mobility scooters have greater stability than three wheeled mobility scooters
- Four wheeled scooters have greater durability than three wheeled scooters and are better suited to off-road/rough terrain use
- They are less maneuverable than three wheeled scooters and are therefore less suited to use in crowded areas like supermarkets
