Mobility Scooter or Power Chair?
Hoveround offers both mobility scooters and power chairs. Which is best for you? In general, however, if you need help to walk and maneuver at home or other interior spaces on a regular basis, a power chair is the best choice. If you are comfortable walking short distances but tire easily or have difficulty with longer distances outside the home, and intend to use the device only in those circumstances, a mobility scooter may be your best choice.
Power chairs offer exceptional maneuverability through narrow spaces and around tight corners, making them the itdeal solution for getting around both inside and outside your home. A power chair also allows you to pull close to tables, counters and other work surfaces to accomplish daily activities and live independently. A mobility scooter, even the smallest, usually requires more room to maneuver than a manual or power wheelchair, so they are primarily designed for outdoor use.
