If you are thinking of buying a mobility scooter for your grandad or grandmother is a fantastic gift idea as it will enable them to get out and about more. However you do need to remember the most important factor when choosing a scooter is the person.

Ask yourself a few questions first. For example example are they able to stand up and walk a short distance or would they need help getting in and out of the scooter? What would the benefits of a scooter bring to them? If they have a car they may want a small lightweight mobility scooter that they could take with them in the car and use when they reach their destination.

They may prever a pavement scooter for travelling to the shops these are usually limited to a maximum speed of 4mph or they may prefer to go a longer distance on the road and these mobility scooters can travel upo 8mph.
