The Scooter Range at ergonomic care in Munich
Depending on the requirements and applications that the electronic mobility aid needs to meet, different models may be suitable. Especially when purchasing a scooter, good advice from a specialist dealer is essential.
Since you will typically use an E-Scooter for many years and also on longer trips, we recommend that you take a test drive. If, for example, you intend to use your scooter mainly for longer distances, choosing a more comfortable model is advisable. These models have full suspension and are also more back-friendly. Conversely, for shorter distances and less frequent use, a less expensive basic model is recommended.
Of course, we will assist you in choosing the right model for you and your needs!
What is a Scooter?
A scooter – also known as “electronic mobility aid” or “E-Scooter” – is a small electric vehicle with a seat. Consequently, it facilitates mobility, especially in old age, allowing you to move around effortlessly. Depending on the model, you can reach speeds between 6-15 km/h. Furthermore, you do not need a driver’s license, as this type of scooter is classified as a medical mobility chair.
Physical limitations can significantly restrict your freedom and mobility, making longer distances seem almost insurmountable. Scooters can provide relief and enable you to be active and mobile again. However, there are several factors to consider when purchasing a scooter, such as different engines and equipment. That’s why we offer E-Scooters from practical basic models to comfortable premium models.
Of course, we are happy to advise you in your decision!
What are the differences between scooters?
The biggest differences in electronic mobility aids are found in motorization, range, and equipment. For instance, a mobility scooter that travels at a maximum speed of 6 km/h must be used on sidewalks only. If you opt for a vehicle that can travel faster than 6 km/h, you are also allowed to use bike paths. Furthermore, you should only use roads in exceptional cases and at speeds over 12 km/h.
Additionally, mobility scooters suitable for bike path and road use are equipped with lighting, turn signals, hazard lights, a warning triangle, horn, and rear marking for safe use in public traffic. Moreover, there is the option to purchase practical accessories to facilitate daily use, such as shopping baskets, rearview mirrors, holders, etc.
