Synopsis: Information and reviews of electric 4-wheel mobility scooter models available for seniors and persons with disabilities or obesity. Four-wheel mobility scooters give people independence and allow them to manage a lot of everyday tasks themselves, such as shopping, going out with friends, and going out for "walks" with people, they no longer are housebound. If you are certain that the turning radius of the larger scooter will not affect your mobility, especially indoors, then a full-size 4-wheel scooter is an excellent choice, though some 4-wheel electric scooters have a hybrid design that places the front wheels close together giving users a good mix of stability and maneuverability.

Main Document

A mobility scooter is defined as a mobility aid equivalent to a wheelchair but configured like a motor-scooter. It is often referred to as a power-operated vehicle/scooter or electric scooter. The electricity is stored on board in a rechargeable battery, which drives one or more electric motors. Electric scooters - as distinct from motorcycles - have a step-through frame.

Many 4 wheel model mobility scooters include front and rear suspension to provide a much smoother ride at higher speeds than 3-wheel scooters.

Four-wheel scooters are designed for maximum stability, and are mainly intended for outdoor use.

They are only slightly less maneuverable than the 3 wheel, yet most four wheel mobility scooters do maintain a turning radius that allows you to perform daily functions inside your home.

Some larger models have knobby tires and high ground clearance, which make them great choices for use off-road and in rugged terrain.

Deciding on the appropriate mobility scooter for you will depend on several factors:
