There are so many types of mobility scooters on the market today, and depending on your lifestyle, some may better suit your needs than others. 3 wheel scooters are really innovative for a few different reasons. We will outline the positive aspects that come with 3 wheel devices in this article. Although 3 wheel mobility scooters have some fantastic elements, they are not suitable for every person. This may leave you with the question; “Are 3 wheel mobility scooters any good?” That question does not have a simple answer, as any category of scooter is good if it fits your lifestyle. So let’s outline who 3 wheel scooters might suit best.
As previously stated, 3 wheel scooters have many great features. Firstly, 3 wheels - 2 in the back and 1 wheel in front allow for the tightest turning radiuses on the market. This means if you live in tight quarters or need your scooter to maneuver smaller spaces, a 3 wheel mobility scooter may be your best option. Another great quality about a 3 wheel device is that they are often lighter and more compact for easy transport. If you are often on the go, traveling, or need a scooter that you can transport without a car lift or ramp a 3 wheel mobility scooter may be perfect for you.
Are 3 wheel scooters any good? Yes, they certainly can be if they suit your needs. Here are the main things to consider; 3 wheel scooters were designed for those with limited mobility and who do not struggle with stability. While 3 wheel devices often have a wider base to assist with stability, they require a bit more control than 4 wheel devices. Even if you fall under this category, there are other factors to consider when deciding between 3 and 4 wheel units. Weight capacity, type of terrain in which it will be used, inclines and declines, paved vs unpaved surfaces can all affect the use and safety of your mobility scooter. This can be a lot to think about which is where Suncoast Mobility’s experts can be of great assistance to you. Below are some of the most popular 3 wheel mobility scooter options available.
