A power operated vehicle or mobility scooter is an electrically powered device that helps individuals with mobility issues navigate their daily routines more easily. Unlike wheelchairs, scooters typically have handlebars and a more upright seating position. They’re ideal for individuals who can walk short distances but need assistance for longer trips.

Types of Power Operated Vehicles (Scooters)

1. 3-Wheel Scooters: These provide better maneuverability and are ideal for indoor use due to their smaller turning radius.
2. 4-Wheel Scooters: Designed for greater stability, these scooters are better suited for outdoor use and rougher terrains.
3. Portable Scooters: Lightweight and foldable, these scooters are easy to transport and ideal for travel or occasional use.
4. Heavy-Duty Scooters: Built for durability, these scooters can accommodate higher weight capacities and perform well on rugged terrains or longer trips.
