Medical scooters are also known as mobility scooters. They come in three or four-wheel models depending on the size and the level of steadiness required by the user. They can be steered with a tiller or a handlebar similar to the ones used on bicycles. They are mostly used by elderly and disabled people, and enable them to realize a marked degree of improvement in their movement and independence. While older models used to be heavy and cumbersome, improvements in technology and production techniques have resulted in lighter and more maneuverable models now being available.

Medical scooters are sold in both electrical and gas powered models. The electrical model is more well-liked than the gas powered one which is not permitted in all the States in order to keep pollution levels low, specially in confined spaces. Both models can be used for traveling short as well as long distances.

The electrical models use batteries which can hold a charge for about ten hours or for traveling a distance of about twenty five miles at speeds of up to eight miles per hour. The four wheeled model can carry approximately 100 pounds more weight than the three wheeler but is heavier and larger. Both models can be dissembled into sections for convenient transportation.

Medical scooters are available in popular brand names and models; they have a number of features to meet personal preferences such as colors, easy operability, automatic locking, adjustable luxurious seats, lights, large capacity carrying space and many others. Medical scooters are becoming increasingly more popular than wheelchairs ever were.

The price of a medical scooter varies according to its capacity, and can be bought online or from retail stores.
