Scooters have become very popular electric mobility products but there are other products such as recliners and wheelchairs that also assist in mobility. There are various different models in each category that have different options and functions. If you need help out of doors then a heavy-duty scooter is recommended as scooters are built to go outside where as wheel chairs are strictly for indoor usage.

If you travel a lot then a lightweight, foldable scooter may be an excellent option. Every scooter on the market is designed for comfort as they have plenty of legroom and have padded seats and armrests. You will not have to worry about bouncing around, as there is suspension on both the front and back to shield you from any unsmooth road and sidewalk conditions. If you frequently carry objects with you then you can add a basket to safely put your bag or some groceries.

It is also possible to use electric powered wheel chairs. These powered chairs are particularly good for older individuals that do not have the upper body strength needed to operate a wheel chair by themselves. The wheel chairs work on batteries that can be recharged when they run down. Wheel chairs should really only be used indoors though they can handle a small amount of outdoor use, such as transferring form the house to a car. Besides the traditional versions wheel chairs also come with captain's chair and can even recline.

Recliner chairs are perfect for those individuals that need the comfort of sitting with their feet up but do not have the strength to push back the chair themselves. Many times recliner chairs also are lift chairs, so the chair will rise up to help the sitter stand up with ease. Recliner chairs are easy to operate, as a control remote is all that is needed. Most recliners will have preset options though you may be able to program in your own.

Though most electric mobility products are used for those that may be disabled in some ways, certain electric mobility products such as scooters are used for transportation at airports, factories, construction sites, and resorts. These electric products are typically favored over noisy gas powered ones. You can even carry around your own electric mobility scooter, as some are so small that they can be folded down into the size of a briefcase and be easily carried.

The new advances in mobility products make it possible to maintain the quality of life that you desire and you do not need to give up all of your independence. There are many companies that produce electric mobility products around the world.
