One line known for its advanced mobility scooters is Pride. The Pride mobility scooter is a top-of-the-line product, owing to the company’s reputation for being a leader in design and development.
It is important to know that all scooters are not the same. Pride offers a range of scooter styles. Three-wheel scooters have two wheels in the back and one in the front, perfect for zipping in, out and around objects. The 3-wheel travel models are a bit more agile and meant for those on the go. These travel scooters are easy to disassemble and store, but not as comfortable as their 3- and 4-wheel cousins.
Pride’s 4-wheel mobility scooters offer more stability and are mostly used for indoor/outdoor purposes. With two back wheels and two front wheels, these scooters are not quite as maneuverable as their three-wheel counterparts, but they are much more durable.
There are also numerous accessories that can be purchased with your mobility scooter – everything from oxygen tank holders to batteries to vehicle lifts.
