The Benefits
Of Four Wheel Mobility Scooters

Thanks to a sturdier, larger frame, four wheelers are better when it comes to shock absorbency. This makes for a more comfortable ride if you live in an area with a lot of bumpy roads or cracked sidewalks. It's perfect for the outdoorsy types who plan on taking their scooter out on camping trips.

Four wheelers are strong and capable of handling a higher maximum weight. For this reason, most bariatrics model scooters (scooters intended to assist people with severe weight troubles) tend to have four wheels.

If you’ve decided that a four wheeler is right for you, be careful not to grab the first decent four wheeler you see. Selecting a scooter is an important decision. Just as no two people are alike, and no two disabilities are alike, there are no two scooter models that are exactly alike. Every chair and four wheel mobility scooter is built with different strengths and different weaknesses. There is no one size fits all when it comes to compensating for loss of mobility.

Whatever scooter you select, it may be possible to have your purchase covered by Medicare, as long as you go through the necessary steps beforehand. If you’re covered by Medicare, make sure to talk about your needs with your doctor. If your scooter is considered medically necessary, your doctor can write a prescription for a mobility scooter. Then you simply show the prescription to the retailer and have the bill sent directly to Medicare without any charge to yourself.
