Choosing Your Mobility Scooter

Regardless of your choice of dealer, it is your interest to purchase from a local Home Care Mobility Company. As local dealers we want to maintain good relations with you, the community, and the medical professionals who may refer you to us.

Factors To Consider Prior To Purchase

1. Regardless of your choice of dealer, it is your interest to purchase from a local Home Care Mobility Company. As local dealers we want to maintain good relations with you, the community, and the medical professionals who may refer you to us.
2. Choose a mobility scooter that will be suitable for the type of riding you do. Is it in shopping malls, on the sidewalks, or on packed gravel trails in Edmonton's river valley?
3. Consider where you will store and charge your mobility scooter, is there room?
4. Is the scooter uncomfortable when you sit on it? Do your legs feel cramped? If they do, then do not choose it. You would regret riding it every day. 1.Take your time making a decision. If you are not certain, ask the dealer to bring the scooter to your home so you can trial it there.
5. Purchasing your scooter over the internet or from a big box retailer could make the after sales service more difficult and expensive.
6. Choose a common brand from a dealer who has been in business over 5 years. If the company or manufacturer go out of business you may have no options for repair or service.
7. Ask the dealer where the servicing is done and if they are able to pick up the scooter when it needs repairs. You would want them to stock basic items like batteries, tires, and accessories. MEDmobility specializes in medical equipment and employs formally trained technicians.
8. Will the dealer modify the scooter or controls if you have special needs? Often the controls may need to be reversed if one hand is more dominant than the other.
