Most lightweight mobility scooters have a maximum weight of 250lbs. A few lightweight models can be disassembled or folded for easy transport in a vehicle. Most of your high capacity scooters may require a lift. In most cases it may be by insurance but the lift may not. It is best to check with your insurance when deciding on a purchase.

Quite a few low capacity scooters consist of 3 wheel models. These scooters can maneuver tighter areas such as grocery isles and around the house but are more prone to tipping. 4 wheel models tend to be more stable are not likely to tip unless on a steep grade. They are likely to have a greater range and if for outdoor use this is where a 4 wheel electric mobility scooter shines. There are many factors to consider when choosing an electric mobility scooter, range and battery capacity are worth considering.
