How to choose one electric mobility scooter for elerly

The user communities of mobility scooter are much different, it is first important  at the safety design aspect. Then, how to choose one mobility scooter? Here is some advice from Marshell engineers Group.

First, speed.

The speed should be slow. The international standard speed is 8 km/h for the old electric vehicle, considerring the healthy condition of old people. Generally, the electric mobility scooter with 20~50 km/h speed is not one standard mobility scooter for elderly. The speed can be learned from manufacturer, or, directly from the scooter dashboard. One vehicle with 8 km/h speed may be installed 12km/h dashboard, but there is no possible with one 60 or 70 km/h speed dashboard.

Second, driving distance.

The 36V/12Ah battery have the capacity for a range of 50km, and normally it's better that the longest driving distance is around 35 km, still depending on the driving road condition. You should consider to charge twice at different time or not choose mobility scooter if the driving distance more than 50km.

Third, brand.

There are many brands of electric mobility scooter. Consumers should choose a long-run, low repair rate, high quality and creditworthy brand. Choose the brand with ISO9001-2000 certificate, with official webiste. At least they can prove classy company strength, long-running time.

Fourth, frame design.

The center of gravity should be low and steady, which can be learned from the pedal height. If the ground clearance is high, the center of gravity is high and it's not safe when driving. The distance of the left and right wheel should be wide. Under the condition of same vehicle width, wheel distance is larger, the ground adhesion is higher, much easier when turning round, then it will be much safer. If the vehicle can turn over, it's not up to the motor, but the barycenter design, wheel distance and speed. The vehicle will turn over easily when turing round if the center gravity is high, narrow wheel distance and high speed.

Fifth, operating system.

The mobility scooter is different from other vehicles, it should be easily operated because the elderly drive. As the transportation tool, it's enough for elderly to go forward, backward and brake. One is it's easily operated and safe, and the other is the failure rate is low, no reparing trouble.

Sixth, scooter type.

The mobility scooter can be divided to luxury type, general type, front and back shock-avoiding type, light type. The luxury type scooter has full functions but expensive, general type is simple and economy. While the light type  is flexible but with short distance. Consumer should take this into consideration when buying.

Last, after-sales service. 
 
One should know about the after-sales service when buy a vehicle. The mobility scooter is different, had better to choose the manufacturer which offer door-to-door service within the warranty item. If not, the elderly can't take the scooter to repair station if something happens to it.
