4 Wheel Mobility Scooters

A 4 wheel scooter is perfect for you if you are looking for a faster scooter, able to handle more rugged terrain than a 3 wheel scooter. 4 wheel scooters provide a better outdoor experience than other types of scooters. A fourth wheel on the scooter provides extra stability allowing these scooters to travel on some moderatly off road terrain. Full size scooters also tend to get more mileage per charge than travel scooters or folding scooters so they work great for longer trips and places like the store or the mall.

You sure gain a lot by buying a 4 wheel scooter, but you must sacrifice some things as well. A 4 wheel scooter does not have as good a turning radius as a 3 wheel scooter. The turing radius on 4 wheel scooters ranges between 50-80 inches making it more difficult to operate in a house or any small indoor destination.

Some other options available with 4 wheel scooters include upgraded seating, rear view mirrors, upgraded lighting and upgraded batteries.
