Mobility scooters for travel provide stability and convenience for seniors traveling on the go. These scooters are easy-to-disassemble and pack for worry free transportation, whether you're visiting friends, family or heading to the grocery store.
Travel scooters come with a variety of wheel designs, such as solid and foam-filled wheels that never go flat and pneumatic (air-filled) wheels that provide an easier ride. Many travel scooters also come with suspension systems that improve stability.
Three-Wheel scooters
There are two main types of scooters for children: the more-trick-ready, two-wheeled models, and the more stable three-wheelers that teach balance and weight shifting. Some scooters feature wheels on the back to provide extra stability. Some use the bicycle-like steering system, where kids lean forward to steer. We discovered that 3-wheelers with polyurethane wheels (versus plastic) provide a smooth ride on pavement and sidewalk cracks. They also have a shorter turning radius than two-wheelers.
For kids to be able to ride comfortably they require a wide foot deck that lets their feet fit on the platform without rub against each other. All the scooters we tested for this guide have wide foot decks, and all have a handlebar with a height adjustment that lets them expand with the scooter as they age. A height-adjustable handlebar also helps children find a position that they feel secure and balanced.
A lot of kids' scooters are built to last multiple kids and years of tough wear and tear, therefore they're built with durable materials that resist the damage caused by bumps and scratches. The Micro Maxi, for example, is made with rust-resistant aluminum and a strong fiberglass-reinforced deck. Its 125 mm wheels are made from polyurethane which gives a smooth and quiet ride on various surfaces.
To ensure that scooters are in good working order for the long haul, children should be sure to wear helmets and pads that protect their elbows and knees. Lauren Drobnjak, a pediatric physical therapist, recommends that children use a scooter with handlebars at a height where their arms are on 90 degrees from their shoulders. She also advises that riders should always wear shoes and socks. Scooter owners should regularly clean their wheels, and lubricate them using silicone grease to stop the metal from rubbing against each other.
Four-Wheel Scooters
Every body type and style can be accommodated by a scooter. Some factors that influence your decision include whether you prefer a three-wheeled or four-wheeled model, the turning radius, and weight capacity. Other features to consider are the type of battery and the tiller with an indicator for the battery, as well as other bells and whistles, and the cost.
