Travel Scooters and Independence
Almost everyone loves traveling. This includes going places like Disney World, the Grand Canyon, or just visiting family. If you are mobility challenged and have difficulty walking though, these types of vacations can seem out of reach. It doesn’t have to be that way though if you own a travel scooter.
Travel scooters are mobility devices that are designed to be easily disassembled and assembled in a matter of minutes. After it has been broken down it can be easily placed in the trunk or back seat of a car. It is also easy to transport it on planes or trains. The heaviest piece of a travel scooter is usually around 25 or 30 pounds, which is light enough for most people to easily handle.
The ability to easily transport a mobility scooter does not terribly affect its range. In fact many can travel over 25 miles per charge. If you need a greater range, it is possible to purchase an extra battery and simply switch it out when you run out of juice. They also travel at a very good pace and at top speed it is usually faster than most people could jog.
Even though most train and plane services will have no trouble accommodating your travel scooter, it is still a good idea to check with them first. They may have special requirements or require that you arrive a little earlier to ensure that you can bring your device.
A travel scooter is a great way for people who might otherwise be unable to handle the rigors of a family vacation to enjoy the company of someone they love.
