While mobility scooters are not meant only for the elderly, they do often tend to be used by our older population. If you are someone who needs a bit of help getting along and want something easy to use and incredibly safe, then the Drive Medical Scout 4 is a solid option. It has a weight of just 94 pounds, which is a lot lighter than other models on our list. It is easy to maneuver and the controls are very simply. When you sit in this mobility scooter, you will be able to adjust the seat height and the arm rests, so you can be as comfortable as possible. The inclusion of a basket in front of the scooter is a nice touch as it will allow you to keep an eye on your valuables at all times.
The Drive Medical Scout 4 has four solid wheels that won’t leave any marks on the ground. This is a bonus if you live in a seniors center and want to use your scooter to visit friends. The throttle control is ergonomic and very easy to use. There is no fancy display screen which is perfect if you aren’t the most technologically-savvy person. Finally, the Drive Medical Scout 4 is a relatively affordable option, especially if you are on a fixed income.
